Works perfect with iPhone [Posted on 2008-01-14]
iPhone users, beware, no bluetooth headsets work for music due to the iphone software. I returned two pair of bluetooth headsets before realizing, by reading chats, that you can not listen to music via bluetooth on the iphone. The phone portion works just fine. For some strange reason, apple has not corrected this programming problem. My guess is that they may seek to develop their own bluetooth headset, but don't want all of its existing iphone users to already have purchased an existing product. Okay, call me cynical. I bought these bose on-ear headphones instead and even though they are wired, they sound absolutely fantastic. Actually, we have the original over ear quiet comfort, but the headphones sound even better. The bose noise cancelling is amazing, which is very important for a NYC commuter. NOTE: These now come with phone capability, which worked beautifully!! I bought them at the apple store for $199.
Bad Ergonomics, So so sound, Should cost a lot less [Posted on 2008-03-14]
Hi,
The bose OE has very bad ergonomics, the sound is just a bit better than senheisser PX 100 but not as good as any sennheiser over 60 (the third part from the retail price for these BOSE OE).
Ergonomics, difficult to fold difficult to extend, don't know why but they have an angle when they are over your ears imposible to accommodate what make them even more uncomfortable, the size is huge in comparision with the PX 100 which are a truth portable, and as you can see from the pictures i have uploaded the BOSE OE make you look ... very strange.
Sound, the sound is good if you compare them with a US 10 dollars headphones or the ones that came with your mp3 player, the sound is just a bit better if you compare them with sennheiser px 100 (much much more comfortale and portable and at US35 they rock) and the BOSE OE are bad sounding if compared to any sennheiser over US60.
From the pictures and video i hope to be able to upload next you can see how portable and easy to fold are the sennheiser while the Bose are bulky, hard to fold and not as portable.
CONCLUSION : The BOSE OE definitively don't worth the price payed.

Excellent clarity but something is missing. [Posted on 2008-04-11]
I bought these headphones and was somewhat disappointed. I'm not a huge audiophile by any means (in terms of knowledge) but I have good ears. To me these headphones were very clear and had good sound but it made the music seems somewhat artificial. It's hard to explain but I was not feeling the warmth of the music, it's like the bose put too much emphasis on clarity and it takes away some naturalness.
Headphones i can recommend however are:
Sennheiser HD600
and
Sennheiser PX 100
I know the bose are somewhere in between the price of those two i listed -- it's best to do some research on head-fi or the net if you're considering buying these.
If you're someone that's not too picky you'll probably enjoy they as they have clear sound.
Save $200 if you buy these instead of Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones! [Posted on 2008-05-28]
I purchased Bose Noise cancelling headphones, primarily for travel. The few times I used them, I really enjoyed them. However, they are bulky and take much room in the restricted space of a carry on bag. So sometimes I could not take them because there just wasn't the available space. Then I got a pair of these headphones in a promotion for test driving a car. I loved them. I found I didn't really miss the noise cancelling aspect as the music itself blocked outside distractions. And, these take up much less room. And, incidentally, are $200 cheaper! Treat yourself, you're worth it!
It's a BOSE - what else can I say? [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Purchased this about 3 months ago and I've used them extensively with my Treo 680 both at home and in the ear (travelled to Europe and the Middle East). Absolutely no regrets. I prefer the padded ear muffs over the in-ear variety. Tried out the on ear at the store and purchased them immediately. They also work as a fully functional headset as it has a built in microphone.
