Bose On-Ear Headphones

 

These lightweight, compact Bose headphones have an expansive sound that's not short on bass

Portable, well-rounded sound

Poor cable design, mediocre build quality

Bose's portable On-Ear Headphones don't have the noise cancelling of more expensive products from the company, but they do have good sound quality and are light and portable. We weren't thrilled with the cable design or build quality, but the...

Bose On-Ear Headphones

 

The Bose On-Ear Headphones are compact headphones with a comfortable fit, but you can get better sounding models for half the price.

Amazing build quality. Comfortable fit. Good, if not great, sound. Good sound isolation.

Expensive. Overly bassy.

Bose On-Ear Headphones review

 

We think the Bose On-Ear Headphones are definitely competent when it comes to reproducing audio. A strong mid-bass component gives richness and warmth to music and vocals, while treble is crisp and reasonably detailed. Lower bass trails off early in...

Amazing build quality ; Comfortable fit ; Good, if not great, sound ; Good sound isolation

Expensive ; Overly bassy

Overall, we found the On-Ear headphones tames a lot of high frequency information which means while they flatter badly encoded MP3s, they can also sap rock music of much of its excitement. Guitars lose their edge, and cymbals lack bite. Bass on the...

BOSE® On-Ear Headphones

 

The functional and lightweight design of the Bose on-ear headphones offers enhanced wearing comfort. The earcups are padded with memory foam which adapts to the shape of the ear. Since the earcups are designed to rotate from front to back and from top...

Bose On-Ear Headphones

 

Excellent audio quality but not suitable for extended listening sessions

Compact, foldable design, detachable cables of multiple lengths provided, excellent bass response, respectable noise isolation

Fit and finish could have been better, not comfortable for extended listening

Bose On-Ear Headphones

 

About as prosaically named as it is possible for a product to be, these are headphones, made by Bose, that sit on your ears (as opposed to in or over and around them). Extremely compact, they wear under 150g and fold up to a size barely bigger than...

These are a decent upgrade to your iPod or, with the Bose Mobile On-ear Headset, iPhone (or, indeed, an MP3 player made by another manufacturer). Compact and light, they’re a good alternative for those who don’t like in-ear ’phones and adequate for...

Review of Bose On-Ear headphones

 

Good points: The really outstanding feature here is the on-ear headphones' extreme comfort - you can wear these leather-cupped cans for hours happily. The top end is sharp and clear, while the bass is thumping. On-ear headphones sometimes let a lot of...
