About this model
The Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II combine Bose's balanced, full sound with all-day comfort. Plush around-ear cushions and a light frame make them easy to wear for long listening sessions, and a single charge gives up to 15 hours of wireless playback. They connect over Bluetooth (with NFC pairing), can remember several devices and switch between two at once, and have a built-in microphone for clear hands-free calls. Note that these are not noise-cancelling headphones – they're a comfortable, great-sounding wireless option for music, podcasts and calls at home, at work or on the go.
