Bose QuietComfort 2 Consumer Headphones

Pros: more effective sound suppression than competitive products across wide range of sounds
Cons: less portable than Koss. too much sound suppression is also slightly dangerous

The most harmful sounds are the low frequency ones--these are usually the loudest. Our ears adjust for the low frequency, but it damages the ear the most. I suffer from hyperacuity (sensititive to noise) and tinnitus, so sound suppression is important...

Pros: comfortable, noise reduction works well, single wire design, supports cell phones with mobile kit
Cons: must turn on for music listening, not wireless, not all noise reduced

Pros: Great noise reduction, especially on airplanes! Nice sound reproduction.
Cons: Expensive

I first experienced the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Headphones while waiting for flight in the Denver airport. Bose had a booth set up in the middle of the airport. I put on the headphones and turned on the noise canceling switch. I was...

Pros: Comfortable, great noise-cancelling headsets
Cons: Major defect in cushion earpieces. Bose refuses to address problem.

A few years back I became a huge advocate for the Bose QuietComfort headphones that have been selling for $299. Based on my original experience with these headphones I posted a rather lengthy, positive review concerning their quality in both sound ...

Pros: REALLY cancel noise; comfortable; great sound quality
Cons: Expensive; short chord (without adding attachment)

I'm a military pilot, often flying 14-16 hour missions around the world on notoriously noisy tanker & transport aircraft. With the Bose Noise Canceling headphones plugged into my laptop computer's DVD player, I can watch movies, play computer games or ...

Pros: Incredible soundstage and noise reduction.
Cons: Expensive, bigger than most of the new style headphones on the market.

I purchased my Quiet Comfort 2 headphones in Dec, 2005 just in time for a short flight to Memphis. I enjoy good equipment and have owned Bose products in the past (301 series 2 speakers to be exact) and was always pleased with them. Having flown ...

Pros: Effective, sturdy, great sound quality
Cons: Requires a AAA battery, so carry a spare

I work in a noisy environment with several pumps running around the clock. I would much prefer to listen to music than wear simple ear plugs so I decided to buy the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones. I figured they came with a 30 day guarantee and a 12 ...

Pros: Very comfortable to listen for listening to music.
Cons: Poor attenuation and bulky.

I bought them for the noise reduction. I must say I was a little disappointed. I evaluated them in many industrial noise areas. Low frequencies such as large air handling systems seem to be amplified! In general high noise areas they reduce at about 9 to ...

Pros: Recommended for airline travel Comfortable and great noise cancellation Nice hardcase
Cons: None come to mind at the moment

After trying a few different noise cancelling headphones, I finally bit the bullet for the Bose QC2. The clincher was the offer of a Bose CD MP3 player for "free" with purchase...it seemed to make the high price tag more palatable. This is an ...

Pros: Does exactly what it says
Cons: none

I usually look at Epinions before I buy. I'm so glad I didn't take the majority opinion and got the Bose QC headphones. I did read a lot of reviews and critiques of the QCs, and every single one of them said the same thing -- compared to the other...

Pros: Excellent sound quality - high quality feel.
Cons: Distortion at ridiculous volume levels.

I have owned a number of Bose products in the past and trust their quality and ingenuity. So, I didn't necessarily worry about 'going out on a limb' to fork out $300 for the Quiet Comfort 2 Noise Canceling Headset. The quiet comfort 2 is less ...

Pros: Very comfortable. Very trendy.
Cons: Noise cancellation is a joke. Over-priced.

I'll start out by saying that I bought these solely for the noise cancellation technology, not the music quality. I've been wearing drugstore-variety foam earplugs when I'm on aircraft for the past five or six years. I was lead to believe that these hea ...

Pros: Very good bass (a little emphasized), very good noise reduction, lightweight, excellent overall sound.
Cons: Cheap mechanical design and cheap materials caused premature failure.

I bought a pair of the Bose QC2 for $299 about three years ago. They are still about the lightest full-ear coverage noise cancelling phones available, so you can wear them for comfortably for long time periods. The bass is full and deep, but a little ...

Pros: Good sound & noise reduction, relatively comfy, long battery life, carrying case
Cons: Too expensive unless you're going to use them a lot

First of all I fly A LOT (more than 50K miles a year) and for this reason alone these earphones are worth the money. I'm sure most people will have the opinion that they are too expensive, but in the end worth it, but I feel they are simply too ...

Pros: It works as advertised, and maybe even better.
Cons: It ain't cheap.

I travel a fair amount, living in Hawaii, and the trips to the mainland always take 4 hours or more. Since we take the red eye often, I wanted something to let me sleep. I had used the older sharper image unit and a newer unit and thought they worked ...
