Features
Overview: The Bose AE2i (around-ear) audio headphones let you
hear smoother audio throughout the entire frequency range from full lows to clear
highs. The Bose AE2i audio headphones can enhance your listening experience at home
and on the go from your favorite audio sources, including your portable digital music
player and laptop computer.
TriPort Acoustic Structure: The Bose AE2i headphones, with
enhanced, proprietary TriPort acoustic headphone structure, deliver sound reproduction
that many conventional headphones can't match. The TriPort technology allows you to
enjoy deeper, richer lows from a compact headphone design. The TriPort design helps
produce a quality audio performance from these light-weight, Around-Ear headphones.
Bose Acoustic Equalization: Bose acoustic equalization fine-tunes
the frequency response of the around-ear headphones for exceptional audio performance
for low, mid, and high frequencies.
Around-Ear Headphone Design: The Bose AE2i headphones feature a
comfortable around-ear fit with pivoting, angled earcups. The Bose AE2i headphones
feature soft cushions that provide an acoustic seal between the headphones and the
user's head, enhancing both performance and comfort. The improved ear cushions, in
both design and materials, give you a softer more comfortable feel. As a result,
AE2i headphones can provide hours of comfortable listening.
Note: The AE2i do not offer active noise
reduction.
Padded Adjustable Headband: The adjustable, cushioned headband
has been redesigned to distribute weight more evenly across the top of the head. The
sturdy design features soft cushion for added comfort. The adjustable headband allows
approximately three inches of adjustment in length.
Detachable, Single Audio Cable: The 67" audio cable attaches
on the left earcup for greater freedom of movement and less tangling; it detaches for
convenient storage. The cable is terminated by an angled male 3.5mm connector which
plugs into your audio device. The end that plugs into the headphones is a male 2.5mm
connector.
Note: The headphones do not include a
1/4" headphone adapter.
In-Line Remote Control: The cable included with the AE2i
headphones has an in-line remote control and microphone compatible with select
Apple devices. The in-line remote provides basic music playback functions for
your compatible iPod, iPhone, or iPad. The in-line microphone supports
hands-free communication for your iPhone and initiates Voice Control on your
compatible Apple device.
