Sound great / awful fit / awful cord

I really wish I could give these a better review. They do sound great... as long as you're not moving. As the cord moves on your neck, every movement is conducted though the cord to the earbuds drowning out the music. Since the cord makes so much noise every time it moves, I thought I'd try wearing them over the ear. That was a no go because they have an absolutely idiotic clip system to shorten the cord. It shouldn't take 20 minutes to get the cord length correct.
These are also among the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever owned. I personally can't stand foam tips and the silicone tips just don't fit right.
It's a shame there are so many drawbacks because they really do have great sound, particularly for BT earbuds.

Disappointed

I was really disappointed with these headphones. When wired, with noise cancelling off, they sounded great. But, when you turn on the noise cancelling, you lose your highs, your volume, and the overall sound becomes, what I can only describe as, muddy. Go wireless, and the sound gets worse. There are very audible artifacts that MAY become white noise after a while, but for $300 headphones are unacceptable. Additionally, these phones can only be paired with one device at a time and the associated smartphone app is mediocre at best.
I've owned a pair of Bose QC15s for some time and love them. While you do give up SOME sound quality with the NC (nature of the beast, I guess), the sound is fuller, richer than the JBLs. I guess I'll stick with wired for now.

Despite the fact that highlighted under product features it states:
"eSATA interface"
"Allows speedy file updates. Rely on the USB interface when eSATA is unavailable for easy access"
This dock has only a USB 3.0 port. I purchased this specifically as an eSATA dock.

Very nice picture and decent sound. However, the audio and video had serious synchronization issues (at least with cable). It was often like watching a dubbed foreign film. I tried playing with the audio delay setting, other audio settings, tried different HDMI cables, even swapped out the cable box with another I had in the house. I ended up putting my 10 year old Toshiba 32" back (which has never had any syncing issues). This TV is on its way back to Best Buy.

Bose - QuietComfort® 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black
Bose® QuietComfort® 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones: Enjoy crisp, powerful sound — and quiet that lets you hear your music better — with these Bose® QuietComfort® 25 around-the-ear headphones, which monitor the noise around you and cancel it out, helping you focus on what matters.
Will or does Bose make an inline controller (volume) for Android devices?
Bose does not currently make an fully Android compatible in-line controller for the QC25. I do not believe they ever made one for the QC15 either, though they do make an Android version of the QC20.
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that it is unlikely that one will be available any time in the near future.
