How do you find these to cycle with? Looking at getting some for long days in the saddle. Thanks!

I've used mine with facetime and skype on a MBPR and iphone with no problems.  Would give it another shot if I were you

Hrmmm thank for the reply. It does seem disappointing that the quality isn't there.  In response to others, I have a 2014 MBPR that works flawlessly with them and an iPhone 6 that doesn't. Maybe when I get back from travels I will visit the Bose store and see what they have to say.

Has anyone been able to find a solution to the short/choppy range of the Bluetooth when used with an iPhone? Or should I be taking my pair back and exchanging?

  Hey Dave, I have experienced the exact problem you describe. I'm visiting London for a few days and it is much, much more pronounced here than in my hometown in Germany. It seems to stop when I am on the tube or in a cafe though.  I have found that having my phone in the right-hand pocket...

I've gone through this and can get them to run connecting via AAC, but the config won't stay, even between connections sometimes.

Any idea how to get El Capitan to retain those settings? Mine seems to reset if the connection times out or the headphones get turned off etc.   Thanks for snooping on this though!

I'd also be curious as to how you got your mac to play through AAC as opposed to SBC   I'm running El Capitan at the moment.
