 What are you Waiting For? PERFECT set of Headphones! November 25, 2008
Nothing compares to the quality of these headphone! They are extremely comfortable, have INCREDIBLE sound quality, and are very durable. I use in combination with my IPOD, or laptop when watching movies while traveling.
A few additional observations:
1. Sound BETTER than the Bose "Around-Ear" model.
2. Great zippered - professional case
3. Not sound deadening - but completely blocks out background airplane noise!
4. Headphones have a "Jack" feature - and includes a short & long wire.
5. Wires are VERY durable - rubber like quality.
EASY Recommendation - ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
OK October 10, 2008
Im completely satisifed with my purchase. Rate i still feel to be bit high when compared to other brands. But the Brand Bose made me to take this aside. It is very light and don feel like wearing it even after long hours. It reduces noise by almost 50 percentage by jst wearing it. Awesome design and sound quality. Nothing to complain abt.
Great alternative to the QuietComfort 3 August 7, 2008
These On-ear Triports are like the QuietComfort 3 headphones, but the difference is it does not have the noise cancelling technology, cost less than half the price, and sounds almost as good as the QuietComfort 3, but not better, which is perfect for me because I already have the QuietComfort 2 headphones that I love and could not justify paying the higher price for the QuietComfort 3 when the tech specs for the the QuietComfort 2 were better. In fact the QuietComfort 2 battery lasts for 40hrs and is easily replaceable compared to QuietComfort 3 battery which lasts 25hrs, but the battery is not easily replaceable. The only advantages QuietComfort 3 had was the Size, design, fit, and probably comfort due to the memory foam ear-cup that adjusts to the shape of your ears and is like having an ear massage, which is a feature the Bose On-ear triports have too.
Anyway I plugged these headphones into my Zune and the sound was amazing without burn-in, but that is probably because my Zune has gotten used to Bose audio engineering from headphones. In fact I also own the Bose In-ear headphones that I use on my Zune.
Tip: To reduce burn-in time listen to music from your MP3 player or audio device without EQ or anything that electronically alters the audio signal sent to the headphones because these headphones work as advertised and produce life like sound.
buy these! August 3, 2008
i've tried a few sets of headphones, and fell in love with these. i bought them mainly for travel (planes, etc.) They sound great, block out plenty of noise on an airplane, are very lightweight and you can barely feel them on your head, so they're incredibly comfortable to wear for long stretches. The parts that go on your ears fold inwards to become compact and flat, and take up very little room in my carry-on. Also, the cord is detachable... it comes with two different length cords to choose from. I'm so, so happy i found these. they're not cheap, but worth every penny, in my opinion.

damn this things are amazing, i put off buying these for a while because YES, They are very expensive, however i decided to buy them about 2 weeks ago and they are amazing, i dont even miss the money!!!! everything sounds absolutely fantastic with these, bass is superb and so are the mids and highs, crystal clear sound. they seem sturdy enough to carry around but the carry case is portable enough if you wish to carry them in your backpack to skool or work or watever. You will not regret buying these babies they are fantastic. it is also worth mentioning that they are not noise cancelling but because of the super-confortable memory foam cushion material that adapt to the shape of your ears, THEY DO BLOCK OUT ALOT OF OUTSIDE NOISE, i live in NY so blocking out traffic,horns,and people screaming on the streets is essential, and these sets brings all of those obsructions down to super minimum volume. 100% RECOMMENDED.
p.s: if you are upgrading from those terrible ipod headphones you are in for one BIG improvement here, you will not believe the sound!!!
