Bargain price. These are fantastic. Tried momentums but these are much better. Super lightweight and very comfy.

Thanks! Ordered

Web only or instore too?

super hot! they sound great! at this price do not hesitate if you need a new 'cans':wink:

Great price and voted hot but just be aware that these are the original AE's which have now been replaced by the AE II's.

Hot. Amazing headphones, so comfortable too.

general consensus amongst reviewers is that Bose overall headphone sound quality isn't all that great.

for noise cancellation, their headphones are excellent, however for pure sound I would not be buying these. there are better headphones for your money

Worth looking at for this price. Not worth the RRP but do I go for these or m50x for £89 off amazon?

these or b&W p3??

something like this:

Sony MDR10RBT - very good wireless, bluetooth headphones

Sony MDR-1R "Ultimate-Over-Ear" - also very good

slightly more expensive but will worth it in the long run, the sound from bose headphones can be quite tinny, but like I said noise cancellation (which these bose headphones in the deal are not, bose are absolutely amazing), but if you're looking for a normal pair of headphones I would avoid them, they really are nothing special.

To whoever said these were better than the Momentums - they maybe more comfortable but they certainly do not sound better.

Are the the version 1 or 2 ?

​More concerned looking at the Bose site that it's the version 2 that are Android compatible fully as opposed to just volume

For me all I wanted was a pair of over ear headphones that I can listen to some music and watch a movie on my comp/tablet/phone(android) and have an half decent sound and be able to relax in comfort' as my last pair started hurting my ears after a while and from what people have said on the reviews these are soooo comfortable' so these are great for what I need and at this price I won't be complaining. But if people have the extra £75 to get the new BOSE SoundTrue II Headphones and think that they are worth the extra money then go for it' but there are many other headphones out there at the £150 price range that would give them a run for there money'

Can anyone confirm the remote works on android? Thanks

go to a hi-fi shop & try as many as u can

Just bought one pair from New Malden after some tests.
Not top of the range, but for £75 are absolutely bargain.

good head phones. Bought a pair and to me the volume seems pretty low, ill have to check if there are any sound boster apps

can anyone confirm that the volume control on the lead only works on iphone ? I've just read this in the curry reviews ?

is that the same with Dr Dre headphones aswell ? I have no idea about headphones but would like to get hubby a good set for xmas. He doesn't have an iphone !

Cheers OP ordered Two :smiley:

Unfortunately I have the AE2's and whilst the sound is perfectly clear and great for classical music, audio books etc, it had very little bass and delivered very little oomph in virtually any other genres. Not a bad headphone by any stretch of the imagination, but not really comparable to the Momentums which were voted the best headphones by EISA.

For anyone else willing to spend a tad more the Bower's and Wilkins P5's occasionally drop to about £120 and they sound absolutely marvelous.

Are these better? Worth the extra amount of money?

The 80 Ohm version works great without an amp :smiley:

I have the 80ohm and they sound great with or without an amp and to be honest I cant imagine a headphone in this price range sounding any better than the Beyer as much as I like Bose.

Agree, the bass is no so aggressive, but can you post a link for Momentus around 75?

I use a set of these for gaming and they are brilliant. Agree not as strong bass as others but I would say the bass on many others is over emphasised as people seem to like that.

Does anyone know if these are loud for people who sat near you with them on?

And for anyone asking, these are near enough identical to the Gen 2 just with microphone compatibility for selected devices.Gen 1 microphone only works fully on iProducts.

Ordered, Hot!

I responded to a comment someone else made stating that the AE2's were better than the Momentum's. I never said they were comparable price wise.

:smirk:

a Rolls Royce phantom is better than a polo too

arrived today, not impressed by them :disappointed:

I was not impressed either. My wife has an older pair of Bose headphones ( the noise cancelling ones) and to me they are phenomenal. By comparison these seem cheaply made and the sound quality isn't as good. I checked out several sets in Currys and these were better than most but the sound level on my android phone is pretty low. I grabbed the deal on the poweramp app and will try that and see if it makes any difference

build quality isn't the best and they don't sound as good as my old sennheisers, but the lightweight build (comfortable) and the noise cancelling is impressive. they are growing on me a bit more

60 quid in Argos.

Black is now OOS

These are just expensive ear-muffs.

comfort & noise isolation are good.......audio quality poor.
