Review on 🎧 Bose Black SoundLink Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones by Mike Lunde

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good choice for in-ear headphones

Great design in every way. I liked the Bose OE2 wired headphones, but this is a big step forward in terms of comfort and features. The soft ear foam makes them soft and comfortable for long term wearing in ears. There are headphones with softer ear pads, but it's a balance of softness and a good fit. I wore them on tasks that required their ability to stay on my head and they passed the test. Mind you, I'm not a runner so I can't talk about that. The sound quality is clean and clear with just enough base for my liking, but I prefer listening to classic rock with the occasional blues, retro punk and oldies. My wife pointed out one thing. . They sit comfortably without messing up your hair lol. Yes, some headphones can make your hair look like a lawnmower :-) because of the weight and pressure, she's right! Ultra-compact, foldable design and travel bag add convenience. The ability to change the tune using the in-ear forward/backward, pause, and play controls is something I love and adds to my enjoyment of use. Good build quality and despite the plastic design they don't feel cheap to me. The range isn't as good as other wireless headphones I've used, but you'll be comfortable at 20 feet. As I entered my garage 30 feet from my phone, I started having a slight pause in the audio. They were fully charged, thanks Bose. They're very expensive and you'll find the same sound quality in some of the less expensive BT headphones, but in terms of convenience, portability, sound quality, build quality with comfort, and long battery life, they're hard to beat.
