First and foremost, don't buy headphones based on reviews. Sound quality is subjective, take your own music source and go compare headphones in-store. Listen to your favorite Genre/Tracks and allow your ears time to become accustom to the sound with each headset.

My requirement were for good quality wireless headphones. I had initially considered the Sony MDRX950's after reading many factorable reviews. Upon listening, these proved very disappointing, the lower range was over emphasized with poor clarity in the mid and high range. Using the same sound source, I progressed to the Bose Soundlink's and the JBL Elite 700.

The Bose SoundLink's just didn't seem to work for me. Whilst these felt very comfortable to wear, the build felt a little "cheap". From a sound perspective, the soundstage felt confined, leaving you under no misapprehension that you were wearing headphones. They conveyed a definate biased towards the mid and high range, yet lacking clarity and precision. The base response left something to be desired

Moving on to the JBL 700 Elite; These felt more substantial in construction, the ear padding was certainly firmer and whilst heavier than the Bose Soundlink's, didn't feel that way once on. The soundstage was very open, inviting and exhibiting exceptional clarity across the range with a good base response. Turning up the volume, It was easy to become completely immersed in the music and forget I was standing in a Best Buy store, listening to music via Headphones ... I was that impressed.

While the requirement was for wireless headphones, I also tried the Bose QC25's which were certainly far superior to the Soundlinks, exhibiting a much clearer sound with better response across the range. Had the Soundlinks performed in the the same way, I would have been hard pressed to make a decision.

In summary, if you're looking for a wireless headset, the JBL's are hard to beat... but then again, that's my opinion, go try some and decide for yourself.

I would recommend this to a friend!
