My boss absolutely loves this speaker, and everyone who has to listen to him on the phone loves it too!

Still, Bose makes good speakers

I’m left with no really good suggestions on way to use this over a small portable speaker or headphones.

We're going to have to get a second one because this is such a great speaker.

this speaker sounds incredible

I find these a good alternative to using a portable speaker that you have to carry with you room to room, or having blaring loudly so you can hear it throughout the house

Love this speaker

The good news is that sound is great and it is great to have a portable speaker with you

so I had hoped that the speaker would make it easier for me to listen to music and also be aware of my surroundings

For a speaker worth $300, you should expect better hardware and software integration.

This is such a great speaker

It’s just a pair of dumb speaker close to your ears.

I don't want to use portable speakers or headphones, because this works better for me

I really enjoy this speaker so far for the sound and convenience

they are not...its a portable speaker...everyone will hear every note

I'd put the sound roughly on plane with a speaker phone, just a bit quieter.

The speakers also work great on my phone and Kindle

If you want to listen at home and get better stereo than a portable speaker without wearing headphones, or you want to be able to move around and use both hands while listening in stereo, this is a good solution

A portable bluetooth speaker, that follows me around the house

If the Soundwear is at 70%, it'll sound equally as loud as a speaker phone at 30-35% from a 2-3 ft away

I wanted to love these speakers, but I ended up only liking them.

For the price I wanted to use them more often than just while biking, and it turns out they're great speakers all around

Has a nice Klipsch speakers with sub woofer set-up in her room, and groans over the speaker quality of her iPhone

The default for the latter is 3 hours, which seems a bit excessive, but gives you an idea of how good the battery life is (i.e. very).Sound quality is good, compared to portable speakers

With typical stereo speakers you should have the left and right speaker at least 4 - 5 feet apart, to get the proper affect of true stereo separation.

Overall, I really didn't expect to enjoy this speaker as much as I do

I thought this Bose wearable speaker would be perfect and it is

I'm surprised at how useful I find this speaker.

I had those cubed speakers for years and loved them, but then had to replace them

I love this speaker!

Portable speakers, yes

Might as well put your phone on speaker and tape it to your shoulder because other people can hear it just as clear as if you had done that.

I tried it out - it wasn't at all as magical as it seems

I thought the weight would bother me as I have mild, chronic neck pain, but I’ve found with a slight shift most of the weight is on my shoulders

If you wear a hoodie, or have good neck support in your chair or car seat back, this may not be an issue as you can lean back and let the cushion do the pushin, keeping them easily in place

Overall, I really didn't expect to enjoy this speaker as much as I do

With that said, I wasn't paying attention a couple times and they fell off my neck doing 20mph because of hard acceleration but still work as they did before
