Bose QuietComfort 2

Pros: Does exactly what they are designed to do: Cancel out background noise.

Cons: Slightly bulky and receptive to interference from other units.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this product for those who travel and need to protect their hearing.

Review: I started a new job 2 years ago where expected travel would be between 60-80%. After a puddle jumper flight between DC and White Plains, NY, I was deaf for about 30 minutes due to the prop noise.

Considering the amount of travel I would be...

Pros: Staggering bass and a spectacular soundstage

Cons: The price is high, but worth it for the audiophile

The Bottom Line: Top contender for audiophiles

Review: I ve always hated headphones and looked upon them as a necessary evil when playing through loudspeakers was not possible. My biggest complaint is that headphones could not equal the same listening experience when compared to a high end stereo...

Pros: Comfortable, great noise-cancelling headsets

Cons: Major defect in cushion earpieces. Bose refuses to address problem.

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend these headsets. Go Sennheiser instead!

Based on my original experience with these
headphones I posted a rather lengthy, positive

Review: Bose came really close with these, but because they don't correctly reproduce the sound of the instruments, they aren't very good for jazz or blues, or any other music where the tone of the instruments is part of the experience. They seem pretty...

Pros: Comfortable, good noise reduction, detachable/replaceable cord, sound decent

Cons: The battery, occasional sensation that I need to pop my ears, some sound distortion (negligible)

The Bottom Line: Very nice headphones with a few minor downfalls (hence only four stars). If I could go back in time with the knowledge I have now, I would buy them again.

Review: After owning a pair of Sony MDR-V500's for nearly five years, it was finally time to replace the uncomfortable noise blasters. Walking through Denver International Airport, I spotted the Bose stand and decided I'd give a $300 pair of headphones a...
