Review on 🎧 Bose Black SoundLink Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones by Scott Chen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great sound and at first glance they seem well built but the materials of the earcups and headband degrade over time

They were great for the first year or two . The sound quality is fantastic, they're comfortable to wear, and the Bluetooth support is very stable, making it easy to switch between devices. I used them regularly for music, podcasts and calls. Despite being overhead, they also blocked out a lot of outside noise. The problem is that the materials used are not durable. The soft ear pads and headband are made of some kind of coated fabric and don't hold up. I have treated them with care, always put them in a suitcase when transporting them, never left them in the sun and never got them wet. And yet, after about a year, the plush material began to crumble, the coating peeled off. After another 6 months, the base material began to crumble. They now look like garbage and leave black flakes of plastic on me when I use them. The sound is still great and the basic construction is solid (no problems after 3 years), but the finishing materials that look so chic at first glance just aren't. conscientiously built.

Pros
  • build quality
Cons
  • I really don't like it everything is fine
