“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 SoundThe
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 sound 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
FunctionalityThe 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. 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
QualitySoundLink® 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®
StoryBose 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.
