Excellent BT Buds

How Often Used:Daily
I have used these for several months now, and usually don't go anywhere without them. The range is great, and the sound quality, esp for BT, is outstanding. You can save the $20 and not get the pouch with built in battery, but I have used the pouch/battery so many times that I would hate to be without it.
They are BT, so the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like (usually about 4-5 hours of real life listening and talking on the phone). Just keep the pouch close by and charge it.
Talking on the phone with them is great too. My wife says my voice is nice and clear. They fit very well and don't fall out, and block out the outside sound.
As to sound quality, they are outstanding at this price point. I have a set of Bose QC15 which do sound better, obviously, but these sound so good and are so compact (and wireless) that I've stopped carrying the Bose.
I would not hesitate to buy them again. For $100 they are great.
My Best Buy number: 2357661446
What's great about it: Quick and easy connection, and easy to switch connections between devices
What's not so great: Battery life could be better, but that's because they don't leave my head.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bose has done it . . . again.

Type of Listener:Audiophile
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
All of life should have a sound track. In our house, in our cars, in my offices, traveling for work or family . . . I always have music and demand big, full, loud sound, be it rock, bluegrass, a newscast, or whatever. We've tried every kind of product there is, and keep coming back to Bose. We wanted music around our house from room to room as well as in the kitchen where we tend to gather all the time. My wife wanted something she could listen to while she cooked or while she went to the basement to do laundry, or cleaning from room to room. I wanted music to play in music meetings to demo songs, as well as in my classes as a professor to demonstrate something, or to play a lecture, sermon, a FaceTime - whatever. The point is we use this and the Soundlink II everywhere and had never seen a product that played music well, wirelessly, was easy as well as tough, had long battery life, and sounded great. This Mini does all of these things. I really stood speechless as I tried style after stye, streaming from my Mac, or my iPad, or iPhone via Bluetooth. I can't believe how big and full this unit plays music. I don't think you could possibly ask for better quality out of such a small speaker. (You should also try the Soundlink II, a little bigger but still easily slips into a computer bag or briefcase).
The reviews here and all over the internet say the same thing - before hearing it in action, no one expected such a huge, full sound with big bass out of such a small package. I demand rich (and loud), full sound, and never thought I'd get it from anything called "mini," since "mini" in audio always meant "mini sound" and "clock radio." That's not the case here. Just go to BB and try one. We bought this as well as a Soundlink II after testing one out at a friend's house. Both are amazing, truly portable anywhere there's bluetooth (many of the wifi units don't come with Bluetooth, so don't assume) and look great, especially the Mini since it looks like it is made from the same metal as a MacBook Pro. It's all metal, is heavier than you think--feels solid--yet slips into the available case and into my computer bag before I go anywhere. (If you take it outside of the house then spring for the protective black too.)
Some people kind of roll their eyes at all the Bose loyalists, and end up going with something else to be different. To each his own. But there's a reason why every BB employee I asked at our local store said that they own one of these and love it. There's a reason why the BB customer rating for these is 4.8 out of 5, and it's not due to "Bose hype." Some of the hype is deserved. At least go try it. It looks great, sounds amazing, is way easy to operate, and can be played anywhere you and your phone are. It can even be used as an external TV speaker via the 3.5mm input (if your TV has that kind of out).
Anyhow, we tried every kind, and after weeks of research, reading reviews, and test drives, we bought the Mini and the Soundlink II (over the SoundTouch 20 and 20 Portable, and the Sonos offerings). We love these products. Our home is filled with music! Rich, full sound!
