"We believe when you give up wires, you shouldn't have to compromise
audio performance or convenience," said Bernice Cramer, general manager
of Bose Wireless Headphones. "So, we did more than make the SoundLink II
the best-sounding wireless headphones out there. We made them the most
hassle-free wireless headphones, too. You'll notice how great your music
sounds first, and then you'll notice that we solved all the little and
big problems that no one else has. That's the power of great engineering
-- it makes the entire streaming music experience that much better."
Bose Wireless Sound The
SoundLink® around-ear wireless headphones II use proprietary
technologies, including active equalization and new volume-optimized
equalization, so your music is detailed and real at any volume. There
are no manufactured boosts because they're not needed for impact. What
you hear is as close as possible to what was recorded, rather than
re-created or altered.
"We've never adjusted how a piece of music will sound when it's
reproduced because it's not our music -- it's the artist's music and
it's your music, and our job is to make it sond as good as it can,"
said Cramer.
For calls, the SoundLink® around-ear headphones II use an
advanced microphone system, HD voice and adaptive audio adjustment
technology for wind or noise. Volume is changed automatically based on
speech level and changing environments, letting you move from a quiet
building to a busy street without missing a word or fumbling for
controls.
Bose Wireless Functionality The
SoundLink® around-ear headphones II offer true wireless
freedom. It starts with up to 15 hours of battery life on a single
charge -- 25% more than the industry standard. If you're in a rush or on
the go, a quick 15-minute charge will provide up to two hours of play
time through the included USB cable. The experience gets better from
there. With multi-point, you can stay simultaneously connected to two
devices, making it possible to watch a movie or sports on your tablet,
and take or make a call on your phone. And while conventional wireless
headphones can have delays syncing audio and video, the SoundLink®
headphones' connection is seamless for enjoying videos or using
FaceTime (News - Alert). Pairing is more than easy, too. Tap the right earcup to pair
for NFC-enabled devices, or just connect your Bluetooth®
device via the latest Bluetooth technology. To switch between
music and calls, you don't need your phone. There are smart, intuitive
controls on the headphone's earcup that are fool-proof and one touch
away. The SoundLink® headphones II also feature voice prompts
(available in 11 different languages) to tell you who's calling, what
device you're connected to, and how much battery life you have left.
Bose Wireless Quality SoundLink®
headphones were built and tested in Bose labs to survive drops, bumps
and grabs. Their design is inspired by the QC®25
headphones, and they use impact-resistant materials, glass-filled nylon
and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Despite being packed with
technology, they're light and comfortable -- weighing a mere 7 ounces --
with soft ear cushions and a contoured headband. And they fold flat for
storage in a matching case.
The Bose SoundLink®
Story Bose SoundLink® products have been
globally recognized for delivering the standard for mobile wireless
audio since their debut in 2011, when the very first SoundLink speaker
was introduced. Since then, the SoundLink speaker line has dominated the Bluetooth
speaker category, and the SoundLink® Mini speaker -- now in
its second generation -- has become the most famous little speaker in
the world. In 2014, the SoundLink® on-ear Bluetooth
headphones were introduced with best-in-class performance, usability and
durability. Today, the SoundLink® around-ear wireless
headphones II join the family, pushing wireless music further still with
even better audio and unprecedented functionality.
Pricing and Availability The
new Bose SoundLink® around-ear wireless headphones II come in
two colors: Black and White. They're available beginning September 2,
2015, for $279.95. Bose SoundLink® on-ear wireless headphones
will remain available for $249.95. Both SoundLink® headphones
are available at Bose.com, select authorized Bose dealers and Bose
retail stores.
