Editors' note: When this product was originally reviewed, it was called the Bose AE2w. Bose has since renamed it the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Bluetooth Headphones. Anyone interested in this product should also check out the Bose SoundLink On-Ear Headphones, which were announced in the fall of 2014.
Despite a few question marks and a high price, the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Bluetooth Headphones are a very good-sounding Bluetooth pair that's lightweight and very comfortable to wear.
The Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Bluetooth Headphones offer very good sound for Bluetooth, and they're arguably the most comfortable over-the-ear Bluetooth model; The control module is also well designed, with well-placed buttons that can be operated easily by feel alone.
Pretty pricey; protruding Bluetooth module looks a little strange; volume may not be loud enough for some people, depending on device used and type of file played.
