Bose Soundlink 2 Wireless Headphones - REVIEW

2015-09-22
everyone Jimmy would Jim's preview room both just released some new over-the-ear headphones these sound true twos are the wired models while these sound link twos which I have here are the wireless both a complete redesign at least aesthetically having them a lot less bulky compared to last year's model now pricing is on your screen with these sound link twos here that I personally paid for at the retail price of $279 and also through up there on the screen for another $20 you can get the wired but one of the best if not the best in active noise-cancelling performance the bose qc25 for more recent updated pricing of course click on the link in the video description below just in case you're watching this later in the year again I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room be sure to subscribe and follow me on Facebook Twitter or Instagram for more reviews like this so I'm here to help you make your purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room going over the physical features first this is not a direct comparison video to the qc25 but i gotta say the selling tool looks and feels almost like them the same quality are placed into the selling twos with the foam band line with Alcantara a top has leather though and the arms extending down are reinforced with aluminum rails in BOCES fashion it feels like subtle simple and refined luxury but the quality is there to do my stress test nothing broke no seams were exposed everything really stayed together perfectly fine you do hear a little bit of play but nothing of concern at all overall very well put together now moving down to the air cups they do turn a full 90 degrees for stowing and they do pivot enough to fit most heads the unfortunately don't fold inward for easier stowing for travelers the supplied carrying case footprint isn't that large but it is something to take into consideration a little bit over 50% of the case is covered in fabric with the rest a soft leather inside this is felt lined with a neoprene carrying pouch for your supplied cables not worn them a little bit later but heading back to the ear cups here each side is labeled for easy channel identification the ear pads are just plush for long-term wearing but I'll discuss that in my comfort test shortly as for connections although this is a wireless pair of headphones the left side offers not a three and a half but a two and a half millimeter input and the cord provided is about three feet and 10 inches long just enough to keep your phone in your pocket the cord and input does not have a locking mechanism however attempting to simulate a yank or pull on the cord the water stays in very very well on the right side volume up and down with pause and play in the sensor which are very easy to reach a identify fiscally and the same sensor button can also be used to accept phone calls which I'll demonstrate real briefly here oh I am testing out my um these headphones uh-huh and I got you on the fundamental test in many ways how do I sound how does it sound so far it's not like there's parking on your phone oh that clear huh yeah how nice and did you hear Lynn in the background you hear screaming oh now I'm going to say do you hear an echo or any kind of static or anything like that no okay hey clear perfect alright let me stop the recording real quick several less features are the on and off switch on the side that also provides voice prompts on which devices you're connected to and the percentage of battery life remaining which is very useful in speaking of batteries the microUSB port is located on the bottom and Bose does a phenomenal job with offering quick charging 15 minutes gives you two hours of use while a fully charging the headphones from a dead battery will take you about three hours and you get 15 hours of playback better life is decent when I compared this to some of the other competitors out there other headphones were around 13 to 15 hours in battery life but as we're comforts these are still the lightest pair of headphones that I ever tested they weigh exactly the same as the qc25 at just 6.9 ounces or 192 grams and because they're so lightweight the minimal cushions and designs still works fine wearing these for three hours straight with no problems and it didn't have issues with the headphones clamping too hard on the jawline overall very comfortable as for sound leaking there is a bit though at higher volumes not too bad but compared to other headphones I've tried the sounding twos do leak slightly a bit more but to the part that you've been waiting for the sound test overall similar to the other Bose products they've always provided clean balanced audio right out the box is selling to provides a characteristic that leaned towards mainstream users not audio files in my belief some very much prefer the sound signature as it relatively remains flat not too strong on bass not too strong in the high notes either but it's far from underwhelming as well the selling tools in my experience provides a neutral tone that works for many genres more so for classical rock and/or other heavier vocal and string focused music the selling to's does work good for EDM hip hop and rap but those who listen to those generals I would think would favor a bit more bass to have that constant 808 beat in the background stand out a bit more but the sounding - offers clear sound virtually no distortion in its quality and listening to these for those three hours straight I had no listening fatigue whatsoever there's just enough bass to be enjoyed in general vocals are just enough Ford and highs are not singing in ear ringing for the price range the soundstage is decent with hearing Audio separation but distance isn't as well distinguished as some of the other high-end headphones on the market overall if you're looking for a great well-rounded audio quality a great build quality that's super lightweight the sounding tubes are a great choice if you're looking for a better spatial sound deeper bass or something with a bit more bass boost there's definitely others out there as for the price let me know what you think below would you be willing to shell out just $20 more and go wired with the qc25 for the amazing active noise-cancelling features I'm really curious about that so I hope this review helped you in some
