Bose AE2w, Beats Wirelss,Harman Kardon Bt
I compared AE2w(249$) with Beats Wireless(279$), Harman Kardon bt(200$?)
(1)Dispaly: AE2w is the best looking Bose Headphone. It is cool but still low key style. Beats gets a lot of attention and fashion design. HK bt is kind of strange style, like a robot I only used at home.
(2)Comfort: Bose is very light and so comfortable. But I did feel hot when I wear long time. Beats wirelss is on ear on design which has soft ear cushion. However, I felt uncomfortable bc I wear glass. HK bt is pretty comfortable but it is somehow heavy.
(3)Durability: AE2w is really durable and is pretty similar to AE2. But the AE2w's case is not good. I tried my Bose QC15 case that works with AE2w but I have to take that blue tooth device off. Beats wireless is like 90 percent plastic. I do not know it is durable I just bought a month.
(4)Noise Cancellation and Leakage: Bose AE2w is asgood as AE2 and it blocks and isolates lots of noise. Beats Wireless is better than SOLO hd in terms of sound isolation. HK bt is pretty good in this aspect. Others cannot hear me when I listen 40-50 percent.
(5)Sound Quality: AE2w's sound is BOSE signature sound and is pretty accurate and soft sounding. I did not get fatigues after long listening. Highs, mids, and lows are comfortable to wear. It does not have so much bass but it still good. Beats Wireless has too much bass and not clear sound. I think some people like this kind of sound but I prefer higher definition sound. HK bt's mids and highs are close to Bose ae2w, and Bass is better than AE2w but not as heavy as Beats.
