According to our headphones expert
With the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear II, you can listen to your favorite music via Bluetooth. Thanks to the Bose TriPort technology, every layer sounds like it's supposed to. The bass is deep, and the treble sound clear. You can connect 2 devices at the same time, like a tablet and your smartphone. That way, you can enjoy the sound of your movie you're watching on your tablet wirelessly. If you get a call on your smartphone, the SoundLink II switches to the call automatically when you answer it. When you're done, it switches back to your movie. The battery lasts 15 hours. Is your battery empty? After 15 minutes of charging, you can listen to music for 2 years.
Note: Bose does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your own accessories, or purchase them separately.

The quality of both the sound and the hardware is typically Bose. When switching on the headphones, a friendly female voice tells you what the battery level is and which devices the headphones are connected to. I've paired it with my laptop for music and my phone for when I get a call and when that happens the headphones switch nicely to the call. It is lightweight and very comfortable. Because the earpads can rotate, it is easy to remove an earpad from your ear when you want to talk to someone quickly, for example. The other earpad then stays in place. The battery also lasts a long time and if it is empty, you can continue with the 3.5mm² jack cable. Unfortunately, the connection to the headphones is 2.5mm², so be careful with the supplied cable.

I had been looking for some wireless headphones for studying for a while. I wear large glasses with wide arms, but these headphones remain comfortable. Another big plus is that the headphones effortlessly connect to my iPhone and Windows laptop (simultaneously), and the headphones instantly switch to whatever sound is playing on them. The included bag is a bit large, because the headphones cannot be folded small, but this makes them flat and sturdy, which makes it easy to take with you. I had chosen these headphones as an alternative to the QC35, which is a bit above my budget for me, and I have not regretted it for a moment!
All in all, these are the ideal headphones for me!
