Thanks for your reply. I had a look online and some do look similar. However, these do not look convincingly similar. They are just plain awful! Hopefully, it helps someone. Buy genuine Bose from Bose or CEX (great store, genuine Bose).

They use Bluetooth (rather than WIFI). I have the QC25. Cost me £99 and they do what I need. In the future, my next pair will be wireless.

Hi everyone, I was searching on Facebook Market Place and can't believe how much fake Bose products are out there. They are hilariously bad. The seller even had the audacity to put "genuine" on the listing. I have reported them to Facebook and attached the photos, as a warning of those wanting the latest model and what to avoid. The Bose QC950 do not exist. A give a way :) Hope this helps someone. 950BT? looks awful 950? FM Radio? wow, these are bad! awful! red?

Hi, does anyone know what Bluetooth codecs (AAC, SBC) are supported on the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless II ? thanks

It will use AAC and I found lots of headphones that use AAC will lag. The soundsport wireless (not free) and are lag free on an iPhone. As a test, in Windows or Mac, change the codec (AAC, SBC) and see if the lag is there or not (you would need to google this). The main culprit is always the YouTube app.

Thanks. My look to be L then. I noticed on the Bose website the earplugs show L and R, along with S, M or L. So, maybe the new versions have this redesign?

Thanks for your reply. They are great, isolation is my only issue. They don't isolate well. I think that's by design rather than the fitting. The Soundtrue Ultra isolated really well. Again, must be a design thing. This review confirms the isolation is by design https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/bose/soundsport-wireless

Hi, I hope you can help. I purchased a pair of these earphones and they only come with one earplug but I am not sure if they are Large or not? Is this the Large size? Is it normal that they don't isolate much? (These replaced my Bose Ultra earplugs that had great isolation). thanks

I purchased a pair of Bose Soundsport Wireless and tested them with an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad 4th Gen and iPhone SE. No lag with either of those using YouTube! :) Also, on the Mac AAC is used (hold alt and click the bluetooth icon, move to Bose Soundsport and it shows the codec used). Very impressed, the sound quality is excellent, bass is superb, not bloaty but weighty and punchy, these seem quite neutral from a sound perspective. Just wish they would isolate better (like the Ultra earphones)

That may be the problem. Under iOS, if the Bluetooth headphones support AAC, it will use that (it's better quality) but I found, unless you have a pair of Apple Bluetooth headphones (powerbeats 3 for example). There is lag (always with the youtube app). If you have a Windows PC, Android phone or Mac, switch the codec to something else (Apt-x or SBC) and the lag will go away. Unfortunately, on an iOS device, you are stuck with AAC, there is no option to change it. The annoying thing is other devices lag when using AAC but Apple's own headphone's do not. Could it be something Apple implemented on purchase to cripple all the other headphones? Who knows. https://9to5mac.com/2018/08/31/mac-how-to-force-aptx-aac-on-your-supported-bluetooth-headphones/

I wonder if this is due to the codec used? This could explain why there is lag with one device and not another. I had a pair of AKG which had no lag at all using Apt-X or SBC, but when AAC was used, lag appeared. On an iPhone/iPad they always connected with AAC and the lag was present (mainly with the YouTube app). Using powerbeats 3 (which used AAC, maybe a low latency version) there is no lag. A quick test, if you have an android, mac, pc, change the codec and see if there is lag then report the results.

I am curious about buying either the Soundsport Free or Soundsport wireless and was curious to know: 1. I know there is lag with bluetooth but is it noticable on iOS? (youtube app for example) 2. What codecs do they suppport? Apt-X? AAC? Thanks for your replies

Thanks Tony. Can anyone with a QC25 verify these look genuine? From my own research they appear to be genuine. @Tony_G wrote: Hi honglong1976, Thanks for posting. With the quality of unauthorized Bose products out there it can be hard to tell. The only way to ensure that your headphones are legitimate is to purchase from an authorized Bose reseller.

Hi, I hope you can help. I bought a pair of QC25 headphones at the weekend and they were sold as genuine from an electronics shop. My only concern is: 1. no hologram on the battery comparment (although the battery symbol is level and not crooked) 2. No headphone printer inside the case There may be two varients of these headphones. Those made in China and those in Mexico. What's everyone's opinions? I emailed Bose but they said they can't tell from the photos? I sent these and they are clear. I also had the SN verified (blacked out in these photos). Thanks for your help.

buy direct from Bose? I purchased my Bose from CEX. Cheap and usually authentic as they are checked and the staff deal with them all the time.

No, just for movies. If you want things to work flawlessly, you need to use the cable. Bluetooth has always had a lag and there are other attributes too. - Any other bluetooth devices connected at the same time? Disconnect them - Also, sync icloud drive? turn off iCloud drive which is known to cause lag with bluetooth - does YouTube lag? download a movie trailor and play in quicktime or VLC. Does that lag? All bluetooth headsets are the same regardless of brand, price. It's the technology! All lag, some less lag than others.

I have a pair of £20 xiaomi bluetooth earphones and they don't have any lag either. They use apt-x. VLC. Google it :) All will be revealed! It's great as you can adjust the delay.

No, they only work with AAC. That's the same codec Beats headphones use. There is always a slight lag with bluetooth headphones. If you play films, use VLC and you can adjust the latency.

While something is playing, hold Alt and click the bluetooth icon, goto the bose headphones and look at what codec it is using? SBC, AAC, Apt-X etc. SBC will lag, the other two will lag but it will be less and not really noticable. This link should help! https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/enable-aptx-aac-bluetooth-audio-codecs-macos/

I purchased a pair of Soundlink AE2 Headphones at the weekend. I really like them. Super compfy and sound quality is ok but I am surprised it doesn't use AAC or Apt-X. Using my Macbook it shows as using SBC. I only checked because of the delay with audio when watching a film. I am assuming it doesn't have the licencing or chipset for Apt-X but it should at least have AAC. These are pricy headphones too. I have a pair of cheapy (less than £20) xiaomi bluetooth earphones and they support Apt-X. Are there any plans to update the firmware to support Apt-X or AAC at least? thanks for looking
