Freedom. Convenience. The big advantages of wireless headphones. But Bose gives you a better wireless experience all around. Deep, immersive sound at any volume. Clearer calls at both ends of the communication. Seamless switching between two connected Bluetooth® devices, so you’ll never miss a call or that movie you’re watching.

Are Bose products overpriced, maybe I'm wrong?
I'll not vote HOT or COLD as I'm not convinced either way.

Bose products probably are overpriced, but I can't find a pair of decent bluetooth headphones that aren't. My son currently has his heart set on a pair of Beats Solo II Wireless (after trying a friend's) which I can't find for less than £200.
Personally I don't think anyone should spend this much on a pair of headphones without trying them and comparing them to the competition - whether these are as good as or better than the Beats is down to personal opinion (I've got a couple of pairs of headphones which got great reviews but I hate them because they're not comfortable).

I agree. I spent a lot on Skullcandy headphones three years ago because the quality of the sound was (and still is) excellent. After half an hour's use I found them uncomfortable as they seemed to get tighter. Comfort is very important.

If you don't mind the name and popularity, then buy some Jabra. I have had a pair for 3 years and still the sound and battery life have not even changed a bit! But what has changed is its price on Amazon, I had mine for about £150. Now they are around £80 the last time I checked . Actually they are £100. Jabra Reevo

Got a pair of bluetooth headphones ( Beats branded :-) ) from Turkey. £12 brilliant deal and great sound quality. I don't guarantee they're really Beats.... Had them over a year, still going strong with long battery life

These are great headphones. I got John Lewis to price match AV Direct last month for this price.

Which shop are you buying a husband from?
Will it be an expensive one with good looks and fine conversation or a cheap one with integrated slippers and couch potato mode?

From the ones I have tried I am stuck between B&O and Bose headphones. Both sound incredible and both are comfortable.
Wired is always better for sound though in my opinion, but I always go through headphones every 6 months it puts me off buying a decent pair. Unless they have a removable Audio cable of which I can replace.

Nothing to struggle. If you better sound quality, B&O H6 sounds much better.
If you want wireless and don't really care about sound, this okay or the QC35

If you are looking for lower cost wireless alternatives, I've been really happy with the sound, price and weight and battery life of the ausdom m08 which I was using daily but sadly they eventually took the toll of just being thrown loose into my bag.
I've just upgraded to the ausdom anc7 a few days ago which includes active noise cancelling at a sensible price. Seem ok so far and very comfortable, but both models worth a look depending on what you are after.
Would love a pair of Bose QC35s (which are the same as these soundlink 2s but also with active noise cancellation) but I just can't justify the cost despite daily use since headphones typically last less than a year for me due to damage or loss.
Still voted this a hot deal though!

Great headphones, highly recommend,
@dcbuk I wouldn't use these in the rain for long, they are slightly water resistant but NOT waterproof.
