   I’m getting on in years and despite having a sound bar on my tv still have problems hearing speech on many programs even with volume on high. Bose soundwear sounded a good idea so I took the plunge and ordered one. While waiting for it to be delivered I was checking some forums and was worried to read some reports that it’s no use for tv due to Bluetooth latency which put video and sound out of sync. To my relief when I connected it to my sound bar using a soundwhiz konect also purchased from Amazon it worked perfectly. There is no delay and I can hear every word as clear as a bell. For me it’s life changing and in my setup works perfectly.

   This item is not only good but can be used for music films and like having your sound bar round your head music wise can use round the house chilling on the sofa etc and call wise crystal clear both ways the first one sent was showing three white lights which means won’t turn on or play amazon sent replacement next day but in the mean time after research and other bose stuff updated sound-wear with latest update via pc and it worked so if any one gets this item and it’s not working with three lights use bose updater softwear and it will Defoe sort the problem without sending back highly recommend your be amazed and battery last about 12 hours

   With the current coronavirus situation requiring me to work from home, I found myself on constant Zoom calls where I’d end the day with my ears stinging and sweaty due to the constant headset use. This prompted me to look for alternatives which is how I stumbled across this smart bit of kit.

   The device itself is much more compact than it looks in pictures and fits comfortably around your neck. The sound quality is also top notch for music and voice calls, as is the quality of the mic.

   The battery life is a stand out point; I have used the headset for all day zoom calls from 7:30am in the morning through to 7pm at night and the battery is still showing two bars of charge which is incredible.

   That said, there are two things that make me drop a star here:
   1. Price; it is incredibly expensive for what seems to be a limited use case. I use it mostly for Zoom calls which it works perfect for, but if I was to have any other sound coming out of the headset (such as music) then the mic becomes useless, therefore meaning it is either used as a communications device, or purely for listening but never both (so those thinking of using it as an alternative online gaming headset will be as disappointed as I was)

   2. Gaming sound distortion; I can’t narrow down if this is specifically the headset causing the problem, but it appears when playing games there is an occasional, very noticable, distortion to the sound coming out of the headset. This doesn’t appear to happen on voice calls or with music, but it does continually happen with games regardless of connected device.

   Overall, this has got me through the last few months of lockdown on Zoom calls so I do not regret the purchase at all; unsure of the useage once this ends unless the gaming sound distortion problem is resolved.

   I am in love.
   The Bose SoundWear is a breakthrough in audio experience.. instantly from putting it on i knew that this is a keeper..

   It’s sublimely designed, weighted perfectly and smaller than I was expecting.. it rests brilliantly on the neck and even if the controls and audio were poor i’d still use this, but, the controls and audio are unequalled.. this is the pinnacle of personal audio listening pleasure.. maybe if you spend £20,000 and sit in an exact spot you could reach a similar plane.. but this thing moves with you like a bubble of perfect music around your head while you move, walk, work, cycle.. possibilities are endless.. i’ll be loving mine in my garden mostly..

   For me, no headphones on the market are comfortable enough for prolonged use, plus they are antisocial and awkward.. this opens up new doors for me and I’m delighted.. this may become my most used device!

   It’s not cheap, but i’d buy it again if it was twice the price..

   The next big thing people are going to want
   I’ve had mine since the 7th of January and I’ve never stopped using it I’ve put it on first thing in the morning I never take it off till I’m going to bed it’s not only sounds fantastic it also supports your neck I have a burst disc
   In my neck and cannot wear the medical colour but this is fantastic the way it supports your neck and it also is great if you’re travelling I’m just want to close your eyes till you get to where you are going it’s also like gives you a gentle massage with the vibrations of the music it is really great I really love it
   I have also bought some Neck gators so it protects it even though they’ve got covers with them I’ve got quite a few all different colours and they look pretty good on I change them every day so I have a different colour every day
   Also if it’s cold you can pull them out to keep your head warm
   They’re not just for young people they are for anyone
   You don’t have to turn your music up when you go into another room are far away from speakers
   Because the speakers are always with you
   You can walk in the streets and crossroads and be able to hear the traffic and things around you
   With headphones you can’t do that
   I only use my headphones when I’m on public transport

   Tengo actualmente 5 diferentes audífonos que uso regularmente (airpods, Bose QC 30, Bose Sound ultra, Bose QC 20, Sony MX1000-m2, Marshall Monitor bluetooth).

   Solo había visto reviews de estos audífonos y al verlos a mitad de precio regular me anime a comprarlos. La verdad que quede ENCANTADO!.

   Tengo dos hijos pequeños en casa (6 y 3 años) , asi que usar el noise cancelling es estresante a veces por que tengo que estar checando constantemente si estan haciendo ruido (indicacion de que siguen vivos 😛 ) y rompe con la experiencia.

   Al probar estos audífonos es como tener una bocinas en cada hombro, crea un sonido envolvente que con poco volumen es casi imperceptible para los que estan a 1 metro de distancia.

   Al usarlos al máximo volumen todos al rededor escucharan lo que se reproduce, su volumen se compara al de una bocina promedio a bajo volumen. Pero ese mismo volumen para la persona que los esta usando lo sumergen en una experiencia similar a la de estar en un cuarto con un estéreo a máximo volumen.

   Los bajos por default no son fuertes, desde la configuración del celular o dispositivo se puede intentar aumentarlos, pero ni en un telefono android o una ipad el aumento de los bajos fue muy notorio. Aun asi el sonido es nitido. Si lo que buscas es la sensación de bajos que te hagan retumbar, estos no son para ti, probablemente sean mejor unos beats.

   Si lo que buscas es fidelidad y estar aware de tu entorno (volumen al 60-70%) sin sentirte desconectado por completo del mundo, esto audífonos cumplen por mucho su objetivo.

   La carga de bateria tarda alrededor de 2 horas y media (depende de los watts de tu cargador, 2.4 en mi caso) y dura alrededor de un 10 horas, dependiendo del volumen al que lo utilices.

   No sientes cansancio al usarlos, pero después de 4 horas llega a notarse el peso de los … audífonos ?

   Pros
   + Increíble nueva experiencia.
   + Fidelidad
   + Soporte tecnico y garantia

   Contras
   – Completamente dependientes de la bateria
   – Precio regular demasiado alto
   +- Se podría mejorar los bajos un poco (me gusta la electronica y en algunas veces es increible sentir los bajos tipo audífonos beats, pero para musica clasica, rock, los bajos son adecuados)

   I was waiting for this product since it was launched in the USA. Yesterday soundwear released in India and finally today morning I have recieved it. Thanks Amazon for your prompt service.
   The box contains Soundwear bluetooth speaker, charging cable, manual and other papers, and a synthetic cover. The packaging is compact and the box has a small handle which helps you carry the product as we carry our briefcase.
   I downloaded ‘bose connect’ from appstore to optimse its’ functionality.
   Sound quality is excellent – both for phone call and music (light to hard rock or classical to instrumental).
   Excellent for those who are not comfortable with earphone or headphone.
   Every button has its seperate function, like you can receive calls, a voice prompter will tell you the battery level, you can control volume etc etc.
   The design is unique and sophisticated.
   Avoid water splash or handling with wet hand.
   Synthetic cover is washable (see the manual).
   The device is very light, so there is no fear of shoulder pain, and the device does not slip off easily.
   Once you charge fully, you can use it for 10-12 hrs. I used it for about 2 hrs when the battery was only 20% charged.
   Most important: once you start using this, you will forget everything.

   Soy un usuario de auriculares inalámbricos, tipo air pods, pero aunque no sean “in ear” después de una / dos horas de uso al día comienzan a molestar en el oído. Yo los utilizo para trabajar (para escribir o para preparar hojas de cálculo) a modo de aislamiento y para ayudar a la concentración. No me gusta la música a un gran volumen. Estos auriculares (los de Bose) han sido un descubrimiento: no me cansan los oídos y tienen una duración (por la batería) excepcional. Además son fantásticos para contestar llamadas telefónicas (mis interlocutores siempre me oyen perfectamente) y no se agotan después de una conversación más prolongada, permitiendo estar pendiente de lo que ocurre alrededor. El sonido tiene además una calidad fantástica. Ahora descansan … mis AirPods (un poco).

    This gets 5 stars from me because if I lost it today I’d immediately buy another one. The thing about it that I really like is that I can listen to stuff (music, podcasts etc) while still being able to hear what’s going on around me, which is not the case with headphones. My main use is while walking the dog. Even though I can clearly hear the sound coming out of it doesn’t seem to bother anyone I pass. That doesn’t mean that people in close proximity can’t hear it at all. They can. But, unless you have it at high volume, the sound they hear is not intrusive. I also use it around the house when I’m doing various menial chores but want to be able to hear what’s going on outside of my own head 🙂 I’ve given it 5 stars overall but only 4 for value for money because, after all, it’s quite expensive.
