I was looking for a headset to listen to podcasts loaded on France Culture. The Bose AE2 headphones is perfect for this use: lightweight, comfortable, it does not warm the ears. The word is clear, the well separated voice. It causes no ear fatigue for listening moderate duration. The helmet is less satisfactory for music listening, but I know of no satisfactory helmet, in my case, for music, with the exception, perhaps, of some electrostatic headphones whose price is beyond measure. In conclusion, the Bose AE2 headphones correspond to the qualities expected.
