FAQS

do they actually go over your ear or do they just say that and give you an uncomfortable over ear set of headphones?

The headphone earcups are designed to gently surround your ears and the memory foam provides an acoustic seal between the headphones and your head for the best performance.

does this have an airline adapter?

No, but you should be able to purchase one from Bose or elsewhere. The more expensive Bose QC25s have the airline adapter included.

Do these come with the case?

To clarify, the SoundTrue headphones do include the case pictured on the product page.

Can these headphones work with an old cd player or am/fm radio?

These headphones will give you fantastic sound from any device with a standard headphone jack.

Can it be used as a gaming headset For audio, the Bose SoundTrue headphones sound excellent?

The ones with a microphone are intended for mobile devices such as cell phones, rather than game consoles.

Are these good for working out with?

For working out, we would recommend our SoundSport earbuds. The cabling on those headphones is designed to be sweat resistant for customers with active lifestyles.

Do these headphones block out sound on an airplane?

The Bose SoundTrue AE headphones are great audio headphones with an inline microphone and remote for switching between calls and music, however, they are not noise-canceling headphones. For noise-canceling on an airplane, we would recommend the QuietComfort 25 headphones which are our best noise-canceling headphones to date.

Will the in line MIC work with a PC/laptop?

yes

Does the mic work with the xbox one controller or i need to buy something else to make it work?

it should be working for all devices, but better for apple products. but you just need buy a headphone that working forall devices, because of this headphone is expensive than other one.

Do these fold flat?

Are they comfortable to wear with glasses on?

Yes! There is no problem if you wear glasses. These are the most comfortable headphones out there.

do they do a good job at blocking sound?

Bought them for my daughter for Christmas. Do not have an answer for you.

Will it work with my toaster?

That is an odd question, but no headphones will work with your toaster.

Are this Bluetooth capable?

These us a wired connection rather than Bluetooth. The SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II are Bluetooth-capable. Here is a link where you check them out: http://amzn.to/1N8ufwG

Do these have a 3mm audio jack to plug into for corded listening?

No, the headphone set only comes with the case. No additional audio jack.

Do these come with a carrying case?

Yeah, they do. And depending on which colour you choose, the colour of the details of the carrying case changes as well.

What difference New and old?

The change from the SoundTrue Around-Ear to the SoundTrue Around Ear II includes a refresh in the design and colors of the headset. Thanks for the question!
