As soon as you open the box you can see and feel the premium quality of these headphones. They are super comfortable on the head with a weight that allows them to feel luxurious. Unlike other brands Bose have maintained the folding capability which is great for the travellerd and day to day commute.
No matter how good they feel they would fall down if they didn't have the sound quality to match. Luckily Bose havent rest on their laurels and have produced a lovely and somewhat neutral sound profile. Highs are crisp and bright, mids clear and balanced and bass more than adequate with a good clear kick without muddling. Very lovely and unoffending on all fronts. Definitely up there with it's competition. New features like multi point sound work well but the virtual 360 degree surround features are not for me. Too artificial and a bit of a gimmick for me. Others do this better.
One area which Bose master is the noise cancellation which still remains best in class. My morning train commute is muted with only higher frequencies leaking through. Very impressive overall
The last gripe is with the app. It's fine but slow to start and connect. I also don't like the lack of connection information. For those audiophiles knowing the connection type and bit rate you have is important
Overall a greatly crafted headset with very good sound and class leading noise cancellation. Great job Bose
