Headset For Music

I have only had the Bose Ultra Headphones for a week. But I have had the opportunity to test them in a variety of situations: At home listening to music, using them for work on MS teams meetings, phone calls, and watching movies on my tablet; Commuting to work on a train and then walking to the office building in downtown Chicago; In an open work environment taking MS teams meetings and listening to music. In every situation, they have exceeded my expectations. I have used profiles for Quiet, Immersive, and Aware. Here is where I feel each performs its best: - I prefer “Quiet” mode when I am on phone calls and for some types of music. - “Immersive” works well for most music but is really awesome when watching a movie. - The “Aware” mode worked as expected when I wanted to hear people around me or when I was walking on the street in Chicago. I was curious what I could hear on the street and it was pretty much everything like passing cars, people talking, and animals. These are the areas I have liked and disliked so far in my time using them. Pros: - Best noise canceling headphones I have ever used. The train and office really sold me on how well these cancel the world around you. - Great for listening to music and watching movies. - Extremely comfortable even when wearing for multiple hours. - They are mostly plastic but they look and feel premium to me. - The case that comes with them is molded to support the headphones which is a first for Bose that I am aware of. Cons: - I have experienced a few software issues related to Bluetooth connections. I was able to work around these either via the Bose Music app or powering the device off and on. - The highest price for a Bose headset yet. While I hope a software update will resolve the few issues I noted they do not change my opinion of the headset. I would very much recommend this to my friends and family. If you are looking for a headset and can afford it, this is the one to buy. Just go get it and enjoy!

I listed to online music, meditations, ets. and am very pleased with the sound..maybe a little lite thru headset. Very attractive speakers and desk control

This is the most amazing headset that I ever bought ( I have had several over the years) The build quality is amazing, and the sound is so beautiful that I am listening to music more & more.

I purchased the Shure WH20 Headset Mic because I was having a big feedback issue in my music team. Since I started using this Mic I have not had any feedback problem. It is a good piece for houses of worship, talk shows, and music bands.

I’ve been wearing different headset for year and these are by far one of the best. I will say running a the treadmill makes it a little harder to hear my music

I really like this headset, the fidelity is such that it is great both for phone conversations, as well as music playback.  Works both with my Polycom phones, connected direct to a softphone on my laptop, or disconnected and direct to my iPhone.  I find myself using this headset more than my earbuds, for playing music from my iPhone. Purchased this wired set, as I try to limit RF exposure.  My clients generally prefer the Plantronics Voyager Focus UC Headset B825, which is a reliable Bluetooth headset, but the sound quality is best for voice calls. I do recommend installing the Polycom computer application in order to adjust settings and provision firmware updates.

I'm a music teacher who is struggling to communicate with students in converted gyms that are being used for socially distanced classrooms. I am speaking behind a mask. I needed help. And then, a knowledgeable and caring associate at B&H recommended this headset Mic and my life is so much easier. The speaker is remarkably powerful for its size, the clarity is good, and the headset is relatively comfortable to wear. I highly recommend this item to any professional who has to work in large spaces and needs a little vocal amplification.

We need2recognize these r a pair of ANC headphones&that is what I’m rating,not high-def headset that uses data dense file.Dont know why1would purchase a hi-res player & headset.Cost a fortune&if u listen2ur music on the go, subway trains, street c horns, buses, wind etc r all going2be interfering c ur listening pleasure - thus ANC.If I want2really listen2music I sit down,relax&listen2my surround sound system at home, which is a heck of alot better than any hi-res headphone. Back2 MX3. ANC on MX3 blows away Bose QC 35, which I used4past 3 yrs until I broke them & Im glad I did. I used QC 35s everywhere. I can only comment on the street, supermarket, my kitchen c the cooktop exhaust hood going & NYC Q subway train. Intimately knowing how the QC35s performed in those settings I can tell u the MX3s seriously outperform. I find the XM3 more comfortable. 30 hrs of play time is very nice, & 5 min charge = 5hrs, will come in handy when I travel. Sound quality? Initially I found it pretty good, but was a little disappointed. Then I watched a you-tube video on how2tweak sound&woe, dramatic improvement2point of serious listening pleasure. The bad. I really don’t like “buttons”, but more I use them better I’m getting. If I take XM3 off & hang headset around my neck, “buttons” r accidently being hit by my chin turning music on, siri on etc. Price? Well we’d all like2spend less,but they’re better than so called best ANC headset on market&the same price. u r getting what u paid for.

My first pair of bone conduction headphones, and I am impressed! Crystal clear sound without plugging or covering the ears. In addition to listening to music/podcasts- they work as well as any other headset for making calls. Battery life is decent abs in oar with most other BT headsets. I love that it charges via USB type C rather than micro USB. My only real criticisms are that they vibrate against my cheek bone in a way that feels strange, only when listening to music with a lot of bass. And the slight pressure on the cheek bone can get a little uncomfortable after several hours. Overall, it's a great value, and ut us great to have this headset for situations where I also need to be aware of my surroundings.

I use the headset for internet calls and for music. The mic works real good with voice recognition. The stereo is excellent. No stress on the ears. I would surely buy the product again and recommend it to friends.
