What first snagged our notice was the comfort, but what’s new? It’s a Bose! Then we noticed the volume-optimised equaliser feature. Nice! The Sound-Link around-ear wireless headphone, avatar II, also adjusts your own voice on calls—compensating for environmental noise, be it wind or traffic. We loved the battery life: 15 hours, and just a 15-minute recharge for a 2-hour top-up. And how it pairs with two devices at once: watch a movie or read a book on your tablet, switch seamlessly to calls on your phone. NFC pairing is so streamlined! Just tap the right earcup. The voice prompts to tell you who is calling, how fast your battery is dying, are an excellent idea. The usual we have come to expect: folding storage in matching case, sturdy hardware (stainless steel, glass-filled nylon) but also lightweight (just under 200g). Available in black and white/tan. Rs 21,150, www.bose.com
