    Fantastic

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I've had these headphones for a few days and I can't believe how much they've improved the listening experience. As someone who has never spent more than $40 on a pair of headphones, I was hesitant to put down nearly $200 on what I suspected would be only a marginal improvement. I was wrong.

    The design of the ear cups is such that, even after working and wearing them for six hours straight, my ears never hurt. They seem to have been designed so that no physical pressure is put on the ears at all. The cushions encapsulate the ears and rest directly on your head. Brilliant.

    I work in a shared, sometimes distractingly noisy, studio space. While these headphones are not actively noise-cancelling (they don't use microphones to reduce outside noise) they do effectively shut out most unwanted sound. Since buying these headphones it's been much easier to keep focused when things have gotten a little rowdy.

    Sound quality, at least compared with what I'm used to, is superb. I'm hearing things in my favorite music that I've never heard before. Especially in the low end. I can't get over that.

    I feel a little foolish for having waited so long to upgrade something I use each and every day. But I couldn't be happier now that I've made the switch.     …More

    Good for the price; minor flaws

    • Written by from Fort Myers

    The Bose AE2i are my third pair of "hi-fi" headphones that I do not regret purchasing, but feel could have improvements on.
    The headphones themselves are sleek, and dare I say, "classy." The flexibility of the headband is impressive and I feel that they go where the rival(?) Beats Solo HD's (which were discounted to match the AE2i's price in-store, might I add) would have broken. The comfort is extremely amazing as even after long hours of usage, it doesn't make me feel any less comfortable than I did putting them on.
    I must note, however, that these headphones, however good they are, MUST HAVE a burn-in period. I recommend about 100 hours of it just to feel the true power of the drivers.

    Now for the one thing that peeves me quite a bit...I also can't help but notice that the left side of the headphones are more bass-heavy and louder than the right. It may just be me, but a few other people seem to notice this.
    The 'phones, unfortunately, are also "cheap-feeling," even with its classy look. How? You can feel the headphone speakers underneath the thin foam screen.

    All in all, the headphones are great for the price they have and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good pair of 'phones.     …More

    Perfect for Flight Travel

    • Written by from Centreville

    I'm not a fan of noise canceling tech and in ear buds cause ear irrations. The Bose AE2i are underrated headphones compared to the Dre Solo marketing gimmick. The AE2i is far more comfortable with the same quality sound. It is ideal for flight travel. The around ear support is non obtrusive and can withstand the noises from jet engines, irritable infants and snoring passengers. The next time you fly, I recommend listening to steve jobs audiobook with these bad boys. …More

    DO NOT buy this for iPhone5, OK with 4 or 4S

    • Written by from Thornton Heath

    I bought these headphones to use with an iPhone4 and they worked well and were comfortable. I would have given them 4 stars but then I upgraded to the iPhone5 and these headphones are now a REAL DISAPPOINTMENT as the output of the 5 is about 20-30% lower than the 4 and the 4S. I have talked to Bose who said there is nothing they can do. After one month Apple have still not replied to my enquiry/complaint which presumably means they aren't going to do anything.

    If you have an iPhone 5 make sure that you buy headphones that are more efficient than Bose headphones. Try before you buy, or you will regret it.     …More
