Bose On-Ear Headphones

Bose® on-ear headphones provide high-quality sound when listening to all styles of music. Whether looking for wireless choices or those that make sure you only hear the music, Staples® carries a variety of headphones that mesh with most listening styles.

Hear More With Bose On-Ear Headphone Technology
Environmental noises in the office, at home, and during a commute affect the sound that comes through a set of headphones. Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones combine active and passive technologies that eliminate the exterior noise when listening. Active noise canceling includes microphones inside the ear cups that hear exterior sounds. Additional built-in technology generates a signal that is the opposite of those sounds and sends it into the ear cups so that users can't hear them.

Bose headphones include passive noise reduction that prevents sound from making it through the ear cups. Specially formulated cushions create a seal around the ears that physically blocks noise, resulting in less distortion in the sound while listening. The combination of active and passive technologies ensures clear tones from music and audio for lifelike sounds.

Bose On-Ear Headphone Designs
On-ear or supra-aural headphones sit on the cups of the ears, directing sound into the canals. The cups feature a soft material that molds to the individual user for increased comfort and less pressure while wearing. A lightweight headband adjusts to each person and keeps the cups in place. Most supra-aural headphones have 30 to 40-millimeter drivers that reproduce deep bass, offer clear mid-range, and give sharp high tones for music clarity. Some Bose models fold down and fit inside an included case for easier carrying in a bag or backpack. Some designs include a microphone that lets users take and make phone calls with the push of a button. The noise-cancellation feature works the same with phone calls, reducing wind noise, and other sounds for clear conversation.

Is There a Wireless Bose On-Ear Headphone Option?
Bose offers wireless headphones that connect using Bluetooth®. Users can listen on a device up to 30 feet away, without dealing with cords. The headphones include a 3.5-millimeter jack on one ear cup that provides a direct connection if Bluetooth isn't available or the battery is running low. Each charge provides up to 20 hours of playback time, ensuring plenty of listening throughout the day. After running down, the headphones require only a 15-minute charge for an additional 2.5 hours of play. Use the Music Share application with wireless headphones and let two users connect to the same source for sharing songs.

Do Bose On-Ear Headphones Work With All Devices?
Bose offers headphones that work with Apple®, Android™, and other electronic devices. Apple and Android headphones feature in-line controls for managing playback and taking calls while listening to music, but must be used with compatible devices for full control. Models without in-line controls work with most devices with a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack.

How Do You Clean Bose On-Ear Headphones?
Bose headphones feature durable materials that stand up to frequent use. A damp, lint-free cloth removes most dirt and debris on any part of the product whenever necessary. Be sure to only moisten the cloth, as using too much water is not recommended. Check the manufacturer instructions for complete care recommendations for each model.
