" ... Well for me, an avid music listener (I listen to over 100,000 minutes of music per year (based on Spotify's old "Year in Review" which told me so, though sadly they don't tell you how many minutes you listened to anymore)) . ... So I decided to try what I thought was a really expensive pair of everyday use headphones for music and talking when I needed to. ... The sound does not blow your mind, but these types of headphones are not built for audiophiles but for every day use. ... That's all I got, enjoy hundreds of thousands of minutes of music! ... "

" ... the sound quality was still good and the secure feeling was intact. ... Now to analyze the music quality. ... I am not a heavy volumed listener. ... The perfect test song. ... I would hear cars, buses, trains, construction, etc. ... these headphones did a very good job of drowning out the noise. ... Though the headphones weren't 100% at it, I would say at least 65 to 75% of outside noise is drowned out when listening to volume ranges in 60 to 85% range. ... The sound still works, the mic still works, the headphones still function at 65 to 70% of their capacity as they did when I first got them. ... If I had the opportunity to buy from Bose again, I would. ... "

" ... I'm doing this 5 Star review now because they finally - after about 3 years and 4 months of TONS AND TONS of use - have broken on me. ...
