What's the best-sounding wireless headphone available today? That's a tough question to answer, but Bose is staking its claim on the title with its new SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphone II, which comes in black or white for $280, £240 or AU$379.

The SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphone II is very comfortable to wear, sounds excellent for a Bluetooth headphone, and offers good battery life (15 hours); It also works well as a headset for phone calls, its buttons are easy to operate by feel, and a nice carrying case is included

Somewhat expensive; not the best option for those who like their music loud and bass-heavy

These headphones have excellent full-range clear sound, easy blue tooth connection, are very well-made, comfortable, have decent external sound attenuation (despite not being specifically design to do so), are relatively light weight, has very good power longevity, and are nicely designed- clean...

returned these because of the discomfort, but I could 'hear' why the reviews are otherwise so good for these headphones.

easy to connect to devices - sound is balanced and clear

- immediately noticed discomfort behind the ears because I wear glasses - the foam cups go behind the ears and press up against the end of the temples of my glasses

Initially I was a little underwhelmed when compared to the pair of headphones I already had. However, upon further use I realized they do in fact sound very good. The battery life is great, and I love how light-weight they are.

Bose's latest Bluetooth speaker, SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II ($300-$350) is an updated edition of its 2011 SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker.

If you are looking for a great well rounded audio, a great build quality that's lightweight then Soundlink II are a great choice and will prove to be a great investment.

clean and balanced audio; no distortion

not for those who like bass heavy audio; expensive

A lot of things are great about these headphones; the sound is amazing, build material is unbreakable, battery life is super long, and it is wireless. But it is simply an overpriced product.

Light weight Comfortable Good sound quality Sturdy build Really long battery life

Passive mode (wired) is not that great Aesthetics could have been better Not truly natural sound reproduction Overpriced Some discomfort after long hours of wearing
