2.0 out of 5 stars Mic too good...?, January 22, 2010

I have been looking for a noise canceling headphone with a mic so that I get the full benefit of using them with my blackberry while traveling. Just received the Bose QC-15 headphones and the mobile communications kit. The mic is too exceptional, it is very clear for any one on the other end of the phone provided there is no background noise. The mic picks up everything, unless you are in a very quiet environment people on the other end of the call hear everything and more clearly than if they are in the same room. It does not take much background noise to make this mic unusable. I can not use them in my vehicle and I suspect a noisy environment like an airport terminal would be much the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, but for that notch, September 30, 2009

I've had a set of QC2's for about 5 years - simply can't travel without them - addicted. Just bought the QC15's BTW - less is less right? I have a set of Skull Candy earbuds for my Samsung Instinct phone - nice buds, good phone, but I had to max out the volume and still couldn't hear conversations if a plane came overhead or a car came by - annoying. I got these last night, and after some quick repair work (below), I tried them out - fantastic! I immediately turned my phone volume down from 8 to 4 and the conversation was superb. WRT the other review, I had no problem hearing myself - just like talking while your QC2's are on - not an issue with me. The one issue I DID have - when it showed up, it wouldn't seat into the connector base of the headphones. I discovered the insert has a small (1/4") notch up one side - apparently to seat with newer QC2's(?). Well, my QC2's have no "innie" for that "outtie" - so I filed it off in about 2 minutes. Seats perfect and sounds perfect. Without the notch issue, this is a 5 star piece and a GREAT add for anyone who wants perfect conversations. Comes with 4 phone jack adapters - I have a 3.5mm jack insert on my phone - that's standard - no need for the adapters. Nice touch though...

3.0 out of 5 stars Bose missed the boat!, September 21, 2010

I thought that this kit, like other Bose products, was going to be high speed. I was wrong! Bose missed the mark by not including the audio video remote control buttons/functions along with the mic. Not only is the housing for the microphone huge but it doesn't even include the play, pause, stop, forward, rewind, or volume controls. Unlike the sleek, slim, and highly handy, dandy, and oh so functional remote on iPod/iPhone ear bud headsets, this kit only offers a bulky microphone. The Hi/Lo switch is also missing on the headset side which negates the output control option. I returned mine today and highly recommend that you hold off until they correct such a grievous technical oversight!
