Pros & Cons
Pros
I have used this headset almost every day for 4 years--either while writing code or during online meetings. I use these mostly for video editing so needed earphones that wont hurt my ears after a couple of hours. Despite needing occasional maintence u... Read More
Cons
Imo they have a poorly designed battery holder which could get lost. The bose are great if your ears can handle them (i can't) and if you don't mind running on battery all the time.
The headband cushion and the ear covers disintegrate quickly. The overhead yoke is just too big and though my head is quite big it still leaves a huge gap/loop between the yoke and my temples.
The plastic coating is ridiculously thin, which means poor durability in normal conditions of use. Quality is too poor and the hype about their products is most likely due the excellent public relations department and billions spent in advertisement.
Highlights

Packaging/appearance
I was pleasantly surprised to find that these headsets looked brand new when they arrived, and that the box contained all the c... Read More
Mine packed up and i wanted some for my frequent air travel.
Competitiveness
They introduced me to the bose brand, and now i'm a loyal customer.
While i know there are supposedly better options available now, these suit my needs perfectly.
Bose is years ahead of their competition.
There have been a few knockoffs floating around so check your serial number on the bose website to make sure.
