great if you know what you're buying
I see that a lot of the reviewers here give these bad reviews simply because they bought something they were not informed about, and had unrealistic expectations.
First of all: You can't EVER compare wired headphones to wireless bluetooth ones. The wired ones will ALWAYS sound better, especially if they're comparing them to other Bose products. Simply put, the technology just doesn't exist yet, to make a bluetooth headset sound equal or better than a wired one.
Second of all: These headphones NEVER claim to be noise canceling. If you want complete noise canceling, then get wired ones and get some that specifically state that as a feature. These are NOT noise canceling.
Third of all: The range and specs are readily available for anyone to see, so be an educated buyer and find out what the wireless range for this (and whatever model you're considering) is; find out how long the charge lasts; and find out any other things you are wondering about BEFORE...
Acceptable but not quite there...
I have tried 4 different sets of wireless headphones over the past couple of weeks and here are my thoughts on the Bose AE2w:
My first impression was that they looked really nice. I was concerned about the bluetooth module when ordering because it looked big and weird, but when they arrived it didn't seem to bulky and I let it go. I was more interested in the audio quality than the looks for this set.
After pairing them with my iPhone and iMac, I noticed that the volume was really low compared to my wired headphones. I tried pairing them only with one device at a time and the sound improved a bit but it was still low overall. When I tried using them with the provided cable, instead of the bluetooth module, the sound improved significantly (specially the lows) but I didn't buy these to use wired (ha!).
The sound quality was crisp and clear, but the balance was not -the lows were very disappointing. I tried different genres, and compared within...
Bose AE2w, Beats Wirelss,Harman Kardon Bt
I compared AE2w(249$) with Beats Wireless(279$), Harman Kardon bt(200$?)
(1)Dispaly: AE2w is the best looking Bose Headphone. It is cool but still low key style. Beats gets a lot of attention and fashion design. HK bt is kind of strange style, like a robot I only used at home.
(2)Comfort: Bose is very light and so comfortable. But I did feel hot when I wear long time. Beats wirelss is on ear on design which has soft ear cushion. However, I felt uncomfortable bc I wear glass. HK bt is pretty comfortable but it is somehow heavy.
(3)Durability: AE2w is really durable and is pretty similar to AE2. But the AE2w's case is not good. I tried my Bose QC15 case that works with AE2w but I have to take that blue tooth device off. Beats wireless is like 90 percent plastic. I do not know it is durable I just bought a month.
(4)Noise Cancellation and Leakage: Bose AE2w is asgood as AE2 and it blocks and isolates lots of noise. Beats Wireless is better...
