#BOSE #SoundLink2 #iBertz - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I’m honestly not gonna lie, this is a terrible review
Totally disagree with this review. Bose are awesome with a nice balanced tone.
I didn't like them for the same reason, and the ones I bought had a background hiss when in Bluetooth mode
To each their own. I like the Bose sound signature, but understand why some people don't.
I AGREE WITH YOU , BUT... HONESTLY HONESTLY THE BASS YES I EXPECTED MORE FROM BOSE .. BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MINE .. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME
@@alexandrades90 the soundlink ON ear wireless is a little bit more punchier in the bass, both mid low and lows and at some edm, highs can be a bit ear piercing at high volumes.
Exactly. This guys an idiot. Bose are amazing....anyone that says differently are just posers.
Bose is about balanced bass as background fill for clear mids and highs. They don't drown out the rest of the music with excessive bass. I learned this 10+ years ago in my Mazda RX-8 with Bose sound system, which sounded amazing. Another thing they do, Bose doesn't want volume levels that go into the distortion range. Same was with my RX-8. I could turn the volume all the way to it's peak and it would still sound crystal clear. Bose is all about quality and, from what I've experienced, they always hit that mark.
Rip your engine.
In my s500 I got a Bose sound system too and it’s very crystal clear, even on Max volume and that’s why Bose is the best.
Lol
I had a factory Bose stereo in my Acura RSX years ago and added two 10” subs...it was my favorite stereo! Just like you said, I could turn the volume up extremely loud and there was no distortion. I loved it
*Skullcandy crushers*
Stopped watching when he started comparing them to $80 gaming headsets
lol, when the reviewer has no idea what they're designed for. " These headphones aren't as (insert - Bass, Footsteps, gaming verbage, etc..) lolol
He has no idea about sound
Erik S. Yes... I will never use this channel again, your comment deserves more energy than this entire video...
Have both headsets and my sound link 2 kills the gaming one in surround sound and light sounds he talks a out base like it's the only thing he cares about
just got them for 80$ because of people who don't like their christmas presents... better than any 80$ headphone i could get tbh..
These headphones are the Best friend for Audiophile Wireless solution , they are FLAT and everything is balanced . People think that more bass is good. NOPE it doesn't A lot of bass can destroy low and mid mids .
Yes true. I just bought these and they sound really good. I wasng expecting this from bose. They really improved their sound compared to the older ones.
@@zthreetwo9874 if u just bought them u will see much imrovement after 40 hours of play.
@@Tripokaridos22 really? Is it because my ears need an adjustment to the sound or the headphones need a break in? I already love the sound
@@zthreetwo9874 For some people break in is a myth . For me its true really true most of my Headphones and Monitor speakers that I use have different sound . Headphones with small drivers like all the in ear doesn't sound different and I cant feel anything after break in . But on some Headphones like these bose , or my B&W p5 p7s etch etch they sound different more OPEN after break in with more extension on low end mostly and more refine highs not harsh . But there are some Headphones like my OPEN BACK for example my Sennheiser HD 599 sound exactly the same from day one to 1 year after . So yeah break in is there but not on all headphones and speakers . About Speakers my B&W mm-1 sound way way better after 1 month , and Edifier Luna HD sound the same . Also there is always the ear adjustment , When I first listen these bose I thought wow there is NO bass at all , Now they sound like there is a lot of LOW end bass . But if I use Beyerdynamic Closed back 770 after these omg I feel that 770 are way to much on bass. In my opion these Headphones BOSE are the BEST overall headphones are not perfect on some area, they are GREAT on all , and this is really hard to find on a Headphone . If I had to use only 1 headphone these are my choice. I cant compare them with an Open back openness but as I already say there is no perfect headphone.
Personally, I hated these, too. It's as if these didn't have even have bass at all.
Why do Bass Heads buy headphones that are made to be well balanced and get disappointed when there’s not enough BASS? 🤔😂
I like u mannnnnnn yahhhhhhh whyyyy head phone by 179 pounds = like 250 dollar no basssss
Hasson Hasson 😂 I like you too... maaaannnnnn, but that’s like saying I spend $150,000 on a Hummer but I can’t go 200 MPH.... why? 🤔 (Actually, good luck hitting 100 MPH)
Comment Highlighted top speed of the hummer h1 alpha is crazy. 255 kph. 0-100 in 4.6 seconds, faster than some sports cars.
@@23dunmc H1 hummer does 0-60 mph in 10.2 seconds. Even the supercharged Lingenfelter modified only does it in 6.1 seconds. At 7200 lbs, it's too heavy to be fast. Your numbers are way off.
@@comment.highlighted haha nice
bose is one of the only big brands that doesn't emphasize lower frequencies... did you look into them at all before buying?
Hey there people im Bobby brown
Victor Aanesen They say I’m the cutest boy in town
The phones and the laptop have different amplifiers and a good laptop is always going to be louder. Louder doesn't mean better quality sound
Can anyone please help me? I got the same headphones but the microphone isn’t working and I don’t know why I just bought it and it doesn’t work it works with the cable but it doesn’t work when I’m connected with Bluetooth...
Setup your equalizer correctly these headphones can pound some heavy bass
I bought these like 2 weeks ago. I'm having a good time. They have a great clean sound.
Damn lucky. Gonna get these
My microphone isn't working when I'm having calls. Does anyone know how to solve that? The sound is being captured by my cellphone everytime I get a call, I've also tried on other cellphones and even on my computer.
Listening to this video on the Bose sounding 2 and they are dope! Lightweight and great sound.
I dont get why you didn't turn the base up on the eq on app?
What kind of watch are you wearing in the video?
What the differance between the Soundlink and the soundlink2? Does any one know?
It is just like setting frequency EQ to FLAT. Well balanced! Love it!
My Samsung phone is not comptible with my freshly bought headphones the sound is not clear, I'm very disappointed, I can only use them with my laptop :(
Is there any solution to fix this issue?
Cheap headphones drown out the bad sounds with too much bass
Does the microphone work wirelessly? I thought it should.
How is power delivery of one plus 6t ?
The DAC doesn't produce the power to run headphones, that would be the built in AMP. The DAC is just a converter
Low quality headphones often have heavier bass to muffle the bad quality highs and mids while as higher quality ones may not. It also depends on the sound signature the company uses for their products. Audio will always be better when wired, no matter the company. Sounds like there is a lack of research and knowledge here. These are also not their high-end headphones and when earpads prevent exterior audio from being heard, it's noise isolation and not cancelation, again. lack of research.
How do they compare to the QC 25?Which are around the same price.
Soundlink sound better I think?
C.E.D gave me the Bose sound link 2 for Christmas and also the Bose Qc 35 2 for the following Christmas. All I use now is the Qc 35 II. The sound link stay in the box they came in. They're both good but the Qc 35 II blow the sound link II away. I'm grateful I received both as gifts 🤙
I wonder if the eq settings on the pixel were set.
if you are editing you dont need bass heavy headphones... i own a pair of soundlinks II and to be honest it is just a "decent" pair of wireless, but definitely it is not loud unless you plug the cable.
What is a good headphone with lots of bass that isn’t to big?
Why don't you connect the headphones to the smartphone's audio connector?
Great review. Honest and I own these and the bass is defo lower than I'd like for expensive headphones
Are these better than the over ear ones sound-quality-wise?
These are over ear im hear to tell you 2 years later
I found that if you like BASS (which I do), I needed to add BASS enhancer to the music on my phone, then the music sounded BASSier. Also, I use the Samsung Galaxy S8 & the volume has to be increased on both the phone & as well as the headphones. Otherwise you only get 75% volume. If you get an update on the S8, it re-sets the volume to 75%.
it's so weird because it varies from phone to phone, on my old P20 pro the volume controls are seperate whereas on my new one it directly controls the Bluetooth volume on my phone.
How does bass compare to quiet comfort
for me a perfect combination would be,
design from Bose SoundLink Wireless Headphone II;
bass and price tag as that of Sony WH XB900N
ANC and features from Sony WH 1000x M3,
comfort from Bose QC 35 II
I have them!!! And i gotta say ...i LOVE THEM!!!❤❤❤❤
what wireless headphones do you like/prefer?
I just purchased the latest version for $225.00 off ebay, Love them! The Google assistant is super helpful with work/studies.
Sony MDR 950N1, you can get them for as low as 100€ on sale and they beat about everything to about 300€.
If anyone wants NO Flat sound , They can buy A bass boosted headphones like Some Sony Wireless or Senns Momentum , or Platronics.
My Bose headphones don't work.. I flicked the button and no green light. So I can't do anything but plug it into my laptop with plug in.. I can't do this with my iphones as they dont have a plug in section.
My Soundlink 2 headphones have a very subtle background static hiss (and bluetooth bleeping noises during pairing) ONLY WHEN CONNECTED WIRELESSLY VIA BLUETOOTH. You can only hear the hiss when music is very quiet or paused, but it's definitely there. Can you confirm if your Soundlink 2s suffer from the same problem please?
No, I can confirm i do NOT have the issue with mine that you have: I have both Bose Soundlink 2 on-ear AND around ear and neither of them produce what you described above.
I've tried some pairs and the does
I can also hear the hiss, and I just got mine yesterday
I hear the hiss for a split second before the audio entirely turns off. Just after the audio is finished, the hiss will continue for a few seconds before finally stopping, altogether going quiet.
Would you buy this or the beats studio 3 Wireless
I still prefer Bose over beats. But that's me
Nice, I have Bose quietcomfort I is the best in the world!
Question, do these Bose soundlink headphones sound the same wired and over Bluetooth? A lot of wireless headphones these days rely on dsp's and sound better wireless than when you plug them in, they sound like absolute garbage. I'm wondering if Bose suffers the same thing
u'r always awesome dude never missed it video 😍😍
love from india
Geeky Boy gay
I have the soundlink 2 and they are awesome
I have those for more than a year. They are very nice but the blue rubber started to become loose, not good enough for the price.
I have exactly these headphones and I love them. The only thing that’s negative is because they are very quiet when using my galaxy s8 but it’s not that bad cuz on full it’s too loud so I can hear normal sound but I have to put it way louder
I've had mine for about 3 to 4 years, I had to replace them after 1 or 2 years due to one side completely stopping to work and now on my replaced pair the volume up button broke (the volume and especially pause/play controls feel quite bad and unresponsive even when not broken). Also I've noticed that after a few months of use the cushions bend inwards at the back of your ear which is EXTREMELY annoying and the cushion also has been compressed to the point where it hurts the area below my ears. The first two points might have been flukes, but that problem with the cushions are a problem with everyone of these. Aside from the good sound quality, I would absolutely not recommend them, if you plan on using them for more than a year.
A can’t take off the wire and doesn’t let me use it in Bluetooth mode
Bro my hand takes up half of your laptop how do u game on that
If you want decent impact and more bass than anything even buy Sony’s MDR-ZX110s or some of their $40-ish MegaBass or whatever will get you that thump. Bose headphones tend to accentuate highs and mids, with a flatter bass response. Generally they have a good, wide sound stage for closed-back design, and comfort and portability is tops as well.
You bought the wrong headphones, it’s not a matter of getting more sound out of cheaper headphones, it’s about getting different sound from different headphones, and you bought the wrong ones.
@CooLoserTech Check out the Sony MDR-XB950B1, Best Buy has them on display so you can try them out
Not anymore due to covid 😔
Bose is for audiophiles. It's meant to be well balanced so you can hear everything clearly. Overpowering your bass muddies everything else.
This review... ooh man when you pulled out those RIGs.
I have a RIG headset. Exclusively because I couldn't afford anything better. They're fine, but not great. That specific pair I couldn't stand because of the overbass going on. Had to go for the cheaper 400 because the bass isn't dumb there.
Now that I can afford Bose, I'm buying Bose, but I wasn't sure which model to get. By now I've figured out which model, but this review was something I heavily disagree, and very unhelpful. Mainly because you're comparing different types headphones at different price levels.
If you want to do an upgrade from bass-head headset to another bass-head headset, go for SkullCandy. They're the definition of bass-head.
I just got the Bose SoundLink Wireless II for Christmas and I totally agree with what you are saying about bass. I have had the Sony MDR XB550 headset for a year now and I love them. They are marketed as "bass boosted" headphones and that is absolutely true. I might return the Bose headphones but I am not sure yet..
Hamlin Media Productions, the Bose are more focused on having balanced sounds for any genre u throw at them, where as the Sony’s are aimed towards having bass so u can listen to base heavy music like hip hop more enjoyably. If u r looking for a great bass heavy headphones I recommend having a look at either the skull candy crusher or the Sony xb950n1s which r 2 of the most bass heavy headphones out there!!
Get the MDR 950n1, you can press the bass button and your ears start to vibrate or turn the bass to -10 in the app and the highs and mids will be clear and the bass in the background. They are perfect for every kind of music.
Thank you! I will take a look at them. @@kidperfect3605
That sounds intense! I will have to take a look at them! Thank you!@@alex_inside
I got the same headphones for Christmas and I could not be happier about the sound quality. They sound great expecially in the mid and high frequencies. They are great because you can basically listen to every genre and they will provide crystal-clear sound at every volume. Of course they are not bass heavy (I hate having too much bass), so if you are looking in some bass kind of stuff you might just look somewhere else
IF those seems like they don't have enough bass, I wonder how u gone feel about the REAL pro Open Back Headphones like HD700. :)
I really wonder how such headphones sound. They have to be kinda boring.
@@alex_insideYes they are at start comparing them with other none flat headphones.But if anyone cares about flat sound on bass mids and highs then this is the perfect headphone . For me these are on my 4 main headphones tha I use . I use B&W p7 for deep bass and low mids for classical music, Senheiser HD599 for gaming and vocal music, Beyerdynamic 990 pro for bright highs , and These bose for long time listening . So it all depends by what you want , I also like Sennheiser Mommentum closed back wireless over ear but then again they are also V shaped sound . Only these bose sound Flat . You can also chek that at Rtraings
Which one's better, shitty bass signature with horrible mids or balanced sound with significantly less bass emphasis?
You are using TH-cam to judge the sound of the headphone?? Wtf
is there a built in Mic?
Awais mahmood yes, pretty good for calls
does it have a mic
It does
Yes
Yeee
I also returned these not enough bass...get the Sony n950 they sound great but are heavy and bulky looking
Philips SHP9500s + Vmoda BoomMic = best open back gaming headphones for under $100. I love it. Oh, but they're definitely not bass heavy.
I have the same ones and I’m using them rn
You should try the crusher wireless or crusher 360 of skull candy
I LOVE my on ear ones! Cant find better for price!
I love the böse not because of the sound but they look so great and flat. Perfect for the schooldays and trips
Hey,
Did you test the microphone system?
I would like to buy these ones for using it at my work.
I spend all day on calls and listening music, but I'm not sure if this is a good option.
Just get the qc35
Hi.
I have those headphones too, and yup; they don’t have that much bass..
I really didn’t like them for that reason.
It will be very cool if Bose can add a “bass equalizer “ like the candy crush headphones. 🤩
Why would you even buy Bose if you like bass boosted headphones?
About the equalizer I agree with you, it would be awesome if the app implemented one
Good quality sound. Before I had a pair of Beats Headphones. I thought I would never see them again. But, anyway, I got them back. Tested both headphones. And I have the say that the Bose headphones were a lot better.
nice new headphones
After watching 9 minutes and 5 seconds I gathered he tested these as an alternate gaming/Lil Jon bass test headphone. I hope this isn't a full time job, this was cringy.
Number 1 - Why in the world would you pick Bose headphones if you like bass?
You should've got Beats as they put emphasis on bass there may be others but Beats is what comes to mind when you want bass headphones.
Number 2 - Why would you compare Bose to some cheap gaming headphones?
I know that's a good brand for the gaming headphones but Bose is better made and more durable than the gaming ones are.
Bose gives a more natural sound if you want more bass then use an equalizer to boost up the bass my last pair of Bose headphones had excellent sound quality with decent bass. One last thing why haven't you done proper research before buying them before I bought my first Bose headphones I did research and compared it to Beats I chose Bose over Beats because I wanted a more natural flat sounding pair of headphones over one that gave emphasis on lows or highs as I have an equalizer for my music. My first pair of Bose headphones was the Bose AroundEar 2's (AE2's), my second pair was Bose QuietComfort 2's (QC2's), and my current pair is the Bose SoundLink 2's I can't say enough about how much I love Bose headphones and their quality both in sound and durability.
If you gave this guy a $10,000 wine, he'd say it's not sweet enough
ok... I do not like wine so...
This headphone seems fine to me.... 💪
Hood go Crazy. Great song
How about an EQ app? I'll bet that will do it.
Base sounds great not sure what he's going on about there
I recommend the Razer Man o war $169.99 version gaming headset. It is totally worth the money and it it the best gaming headphones I have ever owned
Nice Video with a little Mathematical mistake. 30% louder than iPhone makes it 69% louder than Pixel not 60% :d . Thanks for the comparisons you made.
I am watching with bose soundlink II and cannt understand, why you dont like it?
Eazy E
because he’s a bass head
This is a year and 10 days late, but you can change the bass frequency and by how much using windows.
No shit
Bose sound link 2 is a great and fine experience!!!
Wait so what headphones do you recommend for gaming but also regular life
aKidw BigDreaMs Hyperx cloud alpha
Crusher wireless
Omg ur such a kid. :D all u want is the bass. Used to be like that wgen I was sub-20 YO
I respect the opinion, but I don't think I will take it into consideration simply off the fact that Bose isn't known for it's crazy bass, it just isn't. Plus, don't game on a Razer laptop my guy.
if you knew anything about headphones you'd have known that wireless headphones get louder when they're plugged in before 3:08
I love it how people disagree after he said it was his preference of bass and his opinion. Lol..people make the world go round.
Loop Doc
It’s because you can’t criticise headphones that are supposed to be flat and balanced for not having enough bass
if you want the bass go with beats or skullcandy (studio 2 wireless if you want wireless beats)
2nd gen razer headsets are super comfy and have bass if you want/don't mind another "gaming" headset (sub $100 for analog, price fully depends on which one and when you buy them)
Just Got them best headsets I ever heard owned love them your wrong
Check out the Sony WH-1000XM3. They are awesome.
I strongly suggest the Sony MDR xb950n1 the extra bass feature is so awesome that the headphones fall of your ears figure of speech of course.
Sincerely Kanoflare
Are they noisecancelling
no
Wtf I had no idea bose had a sound link series, I only knew about the qc series
I have the qc25, gave away the qc15 you can’t go wrong with Bose m, cans, most of them.
It’s hard to imagine these are from 2015!
I’m watching this video with the same headphones :)
Bad review, lets personal taste play too much of a rol instead of objectivity.
Bluetooth on these headphones - don't expect the great sound they produce compared to the "cable connected" option. Just something that Bluetooth lacks - regardless of what brand of what headphone it is installed in. Just too bad that the cable it comes with is rather flimsy and no aftermarket can be used.
I agree with this review, as I had the same thoughts with this headphones. I am not satisfied with the sound AT ALL. it feels like it could deliver more. The Sony WH-1000XM3 is WAAAYY better.
and is wayy costlier as well.. compare them with sony wh xb900bt, they cost almost same.. sony excels in bass, comes with ANC, is more features, but i guess bose soundlink 2 is more comfortable.
suggest branded headphone with good bass under 100$
Skull candy skull crusher 1
You can get crusher 2s on sale for like 130
The soft ear cups that come with the headphones are absolute crap!!!
Bought mine brand new and within a few months the black material that covers the padding had ripped all the way around for no apparent reason, and the padding inside was rotted down to practically nothing!!!
Bose company wants a stupid high price to buy new earcups, but you can buy brand new ear cups from another manufacturer on Amazon for a hell of a lot less money!!!
it's true these headphones don't require additional batteries but the built-in batteries have their own problems. You can't replace them if you need to and they only charge up to 90% no matter how long I leave it on the charger!
The sound of these are adequate but I would surely never ever buy these again!!!
I complete waste of money!!!
Furthermore the rubber around the edge of the headphones around where the buttons are on both sides has also come loose and I could not get it to stick back down so I had to cut it off!!!
I have headphones I bought brand new back in the 1970s that still work perfectly but they have a cord but the sound has not changed and the leather on the ear cups has never rotted away!
why you don't like them???
