BTunes VXB-QC25 Bluetooth Wireless Bose Quiet Comfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones

UPDATE: I bought a second unit of this product after the first one broke after several months of use. The second unit was delivered on September 15th, 2016. It is November 4th, 2016, and now the second unit has broken exactly as the first one did. I have not been unduly harsh in my use of this item, yet it is now also broken, merely from plugging it into the headphones after recharging; and not doing so forcefully. I have used tape to make it sturdy and functional again, so it works just fine still; but it sure doesn't look great. Functionally, these work perfectly for me, with no complaints; but they break entirely too easily in one certain spot, along the stem portion that plugs into the headset. BOSE now offers headsets that are built to be Wireless, and although I had held off on buying the new version due to cost, I am finding that I'm not really going to save money in the long run using BTunes to make my current headphones wireless; due to the need to replace the BTunes every 2 to 4 months due to ongoing breakage in the exact same area for each piece purchased. I guess it's time to just bite the bullet and buy the new wireless BOSE headphones? I bought this item in April 2016. Within a month, the plastic cover over the charging port had torn off. It is held on with an incredibly thin piece of plastic that will quickly deteriorate even under gentle use around normal charging requirements. This was no big deal, as it doesn't affect the look of the product, in my opinion, and it's easier to plug the charger in without the cover dangling to the side of the charging port. However, the piece that connects into the headphones then broke in early September 2016. To fair, I use this product daily, for work and for play. The product works great, even better than expected, to be honest. Battery life also exceeded expectations. It's just not very durable for the price. If it was more durable, it would be worth maybe $75, in my opinion, for what it is and what it does. As susceptible to breakage as it is, maybe $50. I see the newest version of Bose headphones is actually wireless, but it carries a steep price tag and my current headphones work great. As such, I have bitten the bullet and bought a second BTunes product, as it is nearly essential to me at this point to have wireless headphones. I have registered the product this time, in case I need to try to take advantage of the warranty if the second one breaks. Of course, that's assuming that Amazon is considered an authorized seller for this product. Warranty paperwork with the product states that a list of authorized dealers can be found online, but there is no link of where to find it. I've searched their official website and done a general search for Voxoa authorized dealers, and I'm just not finding an official list. So, it works great, but it breaks too easily for the price, and I'm not easily finding authorized dealer information to see if registering the product helps me or not, having bought it (now twice) through Amazon. I give it three stars, which I feel is fair given the room for improvement on this product at this price.

One thing I do not think anyway can argue about is the excellent sound quality this item has. I knocked a star off for looks as it makes the head phones look like a weird headset. The BT function is PERFECT and I mean perfect. I have tried cheaper ones and they all sounded the same - bad, tinny, far away, junky, etc. These are great and you will tell the difference in seconds.A few complaints and compliments:PROS:1. Sound is perfect, as good as with a cable. AMAZING! Good work BTunes.2. Built in also excellent Mic and the other side does not complain or even know3. Bluetooth is SUPERIOR to other retrofit type BT items.CONS:1. PRICE - ouch! Are you kidding me? You have a lot of room to move on these and I can bet someone if working on a generic or maybe 20 are. Who knows but big margins invite competitors in. I get this has a special plug and you have some mold costs but this is like 20x the low cost solution.2. It is not pretty (but it is not ugly either). If is kinda small but sticks out of your beautiful Bose Headphones. I don't know the fix for this either.3. Charging the battery is a pain but is needed for BT. The battery life is way too short as I fly overseas all the time.SO - In the end the battery charging convinced me to buy a Bose QC35 and have it all together and just be done.

Great accessory to turn wired headphones into wireless. Using with PSB M4U2 (special model made just for these headphones) and HiFi audio is nearly indiscernible from listening wired.It is a bit on the awkward and not particularly stylish tip, but with great audio, no connection problems and long battery life, I can live with that.As another reviewer mentioned, BTunes obviously skimped on their voiceover quality (you hear a voice every time you power on/off, connect or pair, in addition to intermittent battery level announcements). It sounds like, instead of hiring a professional voiceover artist, they just grabbed someone in the office and said "read these lines." Every statement has an upward inflection, like she's asking a question ("power on?" and "battery high?"). Sounds like a little thing (well, it is) but you hear this voice *a lot*.On the whole, though, great product.

So my wife is 33 weeks pregnant. The other day she was getting out of her chair and nearly seriously hurt herself when she tripped over the headphone cable. I immediately went to find some way to make her Sennheiser HD598's convert to wireless and found this solution!We are using this headset with a windows 10 pc. What I noticed is that the btunes comes up twice in the audio devices section, once as a headset and once as headphones. When setting the audio output to headset the audio is very poor, but it seems this is intended as such to allow the btunes to work as a bluetooth headset for your phone. Moving along to the second audio output setting, headphones, the audio quality is perfect and exactly as you would expect a normal hardwired headset to sound! Now the last thing I can't figure out, is the mic. It seems that if i have the audio output as "headset", the mic will work just fine. But if i change the audio output to "headphones", the mic will just not work. I can see the mic picking up audio in the sound settings, but nothing is getting through to applications like teamspeak, discord, skype, etc. I'm an Electrical Engineer and have a pretty good idea how these things work, but it seems like the btunes will only work in exclusively headset mode, or headphones mode, where headset mode is the lower audio quality + mic, and headphones mode is exclusively the higher quality audio and no mic.If i could get the high quality audio and built in mic to both work i would definitely up this to 5 stars.
