How Often Used:Daily
I went through about 7 or 8 pairs of headphones, on-ear, in-ear, all different brands, but they all seemed to be muddy or uncomfortable or hot or they let too much sound in. I'm very picky about the sound of the things I listen to, and while Bose may not have the over-inflated, thunderous bass of some others, the low end shows up when it's needed.
What I like about these headphones is how effortless they are when it comes to sounding good. I don't have to position them in a "sweet spot", or worry about them falling off my ears. They're very light and comfortable, and just sit around my ears, even when I'm wearing glasses or sunglasses.
They do have a short break in period, where things warm up and start to really sound their best, but I was impressed right out of the box.
My Best Buy number: 535030251
What's great about it: Super comfortable, sound is impressive
What's not so great: extremely hard to open
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been searching high and low for a portable solution to fill the mobile speaker void. I tried docks, but hated giving up my phone. I tried the jamboxes, and they were alright, but kind of tinny sounding and not warm and inviting to listen to.
I finally sat at the in-store demo on the Soundlink II and debated, turned the volume up and down repeatedly and just couldn't find anything wrong with it. I decided that I really liked it, and wanted it to be able to use outside for parties, take to work and have it on my desk, and use it for concert tailgating. My girlfriend bought it for me as a surprise gift, and I couldn't be happier with it.
My Best Buy number: 535030251
What's great about it: smooth, rich sound at any volume, bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable battery
What's not so great: at $300, it's not the most affordable

Long story short, if this monitor had HDMI, it would easily rank 5 stars for me. No big deal, I still loved this monitor so much, that I went back and bought a second and another thunderbolt to VGA adapter to use with my Mac Mini.
To me, this is the closest thing to the Apple display that I could find, and the price point is really nice, too.
What's great about it: Glossy display, fantastic picture, easy set up, very little border
What's not so great: wish it had HDMI
I would recommend this to a friend!

QuietComfort® 35 wireless noise cancelling headphones are engineered with world-class noise cancellation that makes quiet sound quieter and music sound better. Free yourself from wires and connect easily to your devices with Bluetooth® and NFC pairing. And enjoy up to 20 hours of wireless listening per battery charge.
How do you talk on the iphone with these? Do you connect with the wire with mic like the Bose noise cancel ones I already have and does a telephone wire come with them?
You do not need to connect a wire to your phone to talk. These connect via Bluetooth, like one of those tiny bluetooth headsets you used to see people wearing. You have a conversation completely wirelessly

If the lithium battery dies on you while you are at the Airport, is the battery quickly replaceable? Can you quickly swap out a spare battery when you need one in a hurry?
It is not. It is an internal battery that is not easily swappable. However, it's got 40 hours of wired playback and over 20 hours of Bluetooth. I have yet to have the battery die on me.

Enjoy your favorite jams with these Bose® QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® QC15 HEADP headphones that feature a TriPort® acoustic structure for balanced audio. The carrying case makes it easy to take the headphones on the go.
Is an extended warranty available for these headphones?
A lot of people love these, but some people say the quality just isn't there and that sometimes they break right around a year after purchase. Also, some have said that Bose doesn't do a good job of standing behind their products. So do you offer an extended warranty to help deal with that sort of problem? How well does Best Buy stand behind the product?
I'm a huge fan of Bose products, and their customer service. I've never owned something of theirs that they haven't stood behind. I've ready numerous reports of people taking in broken QC3 headphones, and getting a new pair of QC15's for a very good price (long outside of warranty). That said, I've purchased the Geek Squad protection plan on my headphones from Best Buy as well. It's $39.99, I believe, and it's a 2-year replacement plan.
I've used it already once when I broke a pair of QC15's (totally my fault) - and I just went in to the store and left with another pair. If anything, it keeps you safe for the 2 years, and then after that, Bose technical support/service is usually pretty good about working to keep its customers happy.

Can you hook an XM radio to the aux line of the soundlink 2?
I wouldn't see why not. So long as it's got a headphone out, it should play through the AUX port just fine.

Is it stereo? Do I only need one?
Yes, you only need one. There are 4 drivers and 2 passive bass radiators inside. It puts out VERY full sound, and gets VERY loud.

Are these good speakers for use with an ipad?
Need to have greater volume for classroom presentation.
Most definitely. I'd considered using a pair of these for my bedroom TV speakers for a while until I discovered the Solo. They provide plenty of volume, wide coverage and stereo sound.

Will a Microwave oven interfere with the sub?
I am planning to install the Cinemate 1 in my kitchen. The sub will be install in the last third of the room( 20 feets long). Will the microwave oven interfere with the subwoofer when in operation?
My microwave is just around the corner from my living room, and I get 0 interference with the Acoustimass Module. I think you'll be fine with that setup.

What is the ideal tv volume?
When I first installed my sound bar, the tv volume was set at 20 (out of 70 or so), unknowingly to me. So, at times I was having to turn my sound bar all the way up to the point it was maxing out and I still wasn't getting enough sound. Then I realized the issue and put my tv at 40 and so now the overall sound is better and louder without having to turn the sound bar all the way up. Is their an ideal tv volume level (ie at the tv's midpoint?) to set when using the sound bar?
Ideally, you should turn off your TV's internal speakers and volume control. If you go into your settings and into sound, it should have an option to set speakers to external, and that will output at a constant volume to the sound bar.

can I connet my smart phone to listen music from my device ?
There are L/R inputs if you should choose to run a cable to the back of the sound bar, but there's no particular dock or feature that allows connectivity. I play mine through Airplay over my Apple TV.
