These are, without question, the most comfortable on-ear headphones that I own. I have wired Beats as well as wired noise canceling Bose, iLuv and some Sony noise canceling headphones. These new Bose are so light and amazingly comfortable. They are my new favorites.
Battery life is impressive. They charged the first time in under a half an hour, and I used them to listen to music and an audiobook that was about 8 hours. They didn't die but I recharged them to use the next day. The second charge took about 1.5 hours. I haven't had a chance to totally kill the battery to see how many actual hours it lasts.
The most important feature, the sound, truly is amazing. The bass is rich and deep. Everything is crystal clear. I could not be happier.
But what really surprised me was the range. I was listening to music on my iPad and cleaning the kitchen. Not thinking, because the headphones are so comfortable, I grabbed the garbage and took it out to the dumpster. I live in a third floor condo. I didn't take the elevator, but I went down three flights of stairs and across the parking lot. Finally it skipped a tiny bit while I was at the dumpster and I realized how far I had walked away from the iPad and had enjoyed crystal clear music.
This is the only pair of Bluetooth headphones I own, so I don't know whether or not to credit these or the iPad. However, I can tell you that I have a Bluetooth external speaker and it doesn't work at half of the distance I walked with these on.
Bose continues to be the best of the best in electronics and audio.

I have tried 4 different sets of wireless headphones over the past couple of weeks and here are my thoughts on the Bose AE2w:
My first impression was that they looked really nice. I was concerned about the bluetooth module when ordering because it looked big and weird, but when they arrived it didn't seem to bulky and I let it go. I was more interested in the audio quality than the looks for this set.
After pairing them with my iPhone and iMac, I noticed that the volume was really low compared to my wired headphones. I tried pairing them only with one device at a time and the sound improved a bit but it was still low overall. When I tried using them with the provided cable, instead of the bluetooth module, the sound improved significantly (specially the lows) but I didn't buy these to use wired (ha!).
The sound quality was crisp and clear, but the balance was not -the lows were very disappointing. I tried different genres, and compared within headphones, including the Quiet Comfort 15 and the difference was very noticeable. This was one of the decisive factors for me, I wasn't looking for bass-amped headphones but I was expecting greater balance and better definition from Bose.
The main issue, besides the low volume and the poor sound balance, was sound leakage. When I had this at maximum volume (which wasn't loud enough), everyone around me could hear sound coming out of them. I did some test and I had to lower the volume to about 40% to be able to listen without disturbing the people around me. At that point, I wasn't happy with the volume level so I ended up using my other headset.
On the good side, they are extremely comfortable. You could wear this for hours (but really only 7, because you need to charge them then haha) and not get tired or feel pressure on your ears. The built quality is really good and this is the only bluetooth headset that can connect simultaneously to two devices, which is pretty neat.
Other people have complained about not having a hard case and a USB wall plug included, which would have been really nice, but neither of those were a big concern to me.
Overall, I think these will be better for watching videos than listening to music. Hopefully the next genration will address the audio quality and the volume issue, and add options like noise canceling, hard case, usb wall plugs and unicorns....

I see that a lot of the reviewers here give these bad reviews simply because they bought something they were not informed about, and had unrealistic expectations.
First of all: You can't EVER compare wired headphones to wireless bluetooth ones. The wired ones will ALWAYS sound better, especially if they're comparing them to other Bose products. Simply put, the technology just doesn't exist yet, to make a bluetooth headset sound equal or better than a wired one.
Second of all: These headphones NEVER claim to be noise canceling. If you want complete noise canceling, then get wired ones and get some that specifically state that as a feature. These are NOT noise canceling.
Third of all: The range and specs are readily available for anyone to see, so be an educated buyer and find out what the wireless range for this (and whatever model you're considering) is; find out how long the charge lasts; and find out any other things you are wondering about BEFORE plunking down $250 dollars on a set of headphones. If you're willing to spend that much money without doing enough research, then maybe you deserve to be disappointed.
Now for the actual headphones: If you want wireless, these headphones are by far, the best out there. Trust me, I visited several stores and tried out Beats, Sonys, HK, Bose, and others. There were a few I did not try, but they were ridiculously priced (out in the $400 range) and if you want to compare these to some that cost $150 more, then you're comparing apples to oranges.
They ARE NOT technically noise canceling headphones, but they do minimize noise quite a bit when you're listening to music. If you want noise canceling, get the other Bose that are wired but similar price as these and you will be blown away by the sound.
As far as the sound itself, these sound great, these have no discernible hiss and the sound is super clean and crisp. If you want something that emphasizes bass, then look elsewhere. These are very versatile mid-range in tone and you can listen to everything from, classical to rock to electronic music and they sound very good. If all you listen to is hip hop and rap and want to sacrifice quality in other genres or spoken word in order to have more bass, then spend $200 more and buy some wireless Beats. Be warned that they won't be as comfortable. Also people at Best Buy and the Apple store told me repeatedly that the Beats get returned all the time.
Speaking of comfortable, if you want something you can wear for hours, these are unbeatable. None of the other headphones I tried were as comfortable as these and they're super light too.
The charge lasts 7 hours and the bluetooth range is about 30 feet (10 meters). And obviously as with ANY bluetooth device, it will have a hard time if it has to go through 4 super thick concrete walls, so be realistic with your expectations.
Some people think these feel flimsy, but they're not. They're light, and there's a difference. The Beats Studio feel like you're wearing a motorcycle helmet. Some people confuse sturdy with heavy. These things are not flimsy, they're just light. If you want something that feels like lead, look elsewhere.
HK's also sounded good, but were not as comfortable.
One thing that these do that not all other bluetooth headphones do, is that they're able to connect to two devices at the same time. So if you're watching a movie on your ipad, for example, and your cell phone rings, you can answer it from the headphones.
I've read the reviews of people who have trouble with these headphones when they're trying to use them with a Windows computer. I can't attest to that because I use a Mac (and that's also why I use a mac, 'cause I don't like having to deal with problems). I'm inclined to believe it's a compatibility problem between Windows and these headphones, so that's something to keep in mind.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
