I was expecting more from the Bose sound.
I wore them for the first time and upon putting them over my head, they seemed a little tight, but in some regards, that is a good thing. I don't especially like on ear phones, and so with these being the first ones I bought from Bose, I'd give them a try. I paired them up to my tablet and started listening to some Pandora selected music. I turned up the volume with the up down buttons on the right ear piece. Little hard to do that while listening to music, but hopefully I will get used to it.
I was working out in a gym so there was other sounds going on around me, and I had to hit the plus button to enjoy the music to where I wanted it to drown out the outside noises. Sound quality was good, but not going to say outstanding for the music I was listening to. 70's R & R. I left them on the full hour, and I did seem to forget that I had them on, except for the times I was doing sit ups and chest pulls. I guess they're not really designed for that.
They do come with a cord, and a nice carry bag. I don't know if I would rate them any better than my AKG's, as far as sound quality
