Bose QuietComfort 2 Consumer Headphones

Review: I was lucky enough to recive these headphones as a present for doing well in my GCSE's, and this was over 3 years ago now, they still lok as if they are brand new and still feel and function the same way too, they have been on many long haul flights...

Pros: Comfort level, sound quality

Cons: Price, durability

The Bottom Line: Overall they're a great buy. Make sure you get the lifetime warranty with them however because the plastic can crack.

Review: My father was actually the one to buy these headphones. The first time he brought them home I said wow they look really comfortable, and they were. I tried them on and as the almost vacuum seal went over my ears my father stated how much he paid for...

Pros: Sound is good, very comfortable, they work as advertised

Cons: Expensive, not good for quiet listening environments

The Bottom Line: I recommend these because they perform as advertised, they feel great, and they sound good, even if the price is kind of wacky.

Review: I work at a university, in systems support. The office I work in is full of white noise, mostly from the server room nearby. One day, one of the professors came in wearing these Bose headphones plugged into an Apple iPod. I was curious to try out...

Pros: -Works extremely well -Battery life is good -Quality construction

Cons: -Price may be an issue for some -Does not block out normal talking -Bulky

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended if you fly often.

Review: I fly quite a bit, and these headphones are essential to cut down on all of the ambient noise. In fact, I didn't realize the amount of noise pollution until wearing these headphones.

Even with no music source (as in during flight takeoffs...

Pros: Great sound, comfortable, nice case and extras.

Cons: Pricey, not all that compact

Review: I was looking for a good set of headphones to use with an iPod, particularly at the office and traveling. Sound quality was a must, portability somewhat important (but I HATE earbuds), and noise reduction a nice to have feature since I do fly...

Pros: Better than foam ear plugs, but only "cover" the noise when you're playing music

Cons: Inferior product, frames crack and break, and support is inadequate

The Bottom Line: Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this product. Nice looking "package" but extremely inferior

Review: I am an airline pilot and felt that the $300 investment would be worth it if they helped save my hearing. After more than a year of use, and having to return them twice I would not recommend them to anyone. I don't think I've tried to take better...

Pros: Excellent sound quality

Cons: Price and durability

Review: They do exactly what they say, very comfortable and the sound quality is fantastic, however I must admit the frame is rather shoddy. After 6 months of use, the plastic covers just above each ear piece has completely broken
away.

Pros: A Godsend to frequent fliers!

Cons: Expensive

The Bottom Line: I waited too long before buying these - get yourself a set now!

Review: I was skeptical of their value after trying out a set of Zoss speakerphones that are supposed to do the same thing. Also, they do not seem to do much standing in the laundry room (for a test at home). But if I never use these for anything but...

Pros: Fit of ear pieces excellent ... general sound quality very good.

Cons: Do not eliminate intermittent sound, thus do not give the silence claimed in literature.

The Bottom Line: They don't work. For a terrestrial sound reduction system it's proved more successful to sue the government.

Review: Expecting something exceptional from Bose the end result was disappointment and the headphones were returned.
Having been mostly struck with the advertising being related to aircraft noise and the promised "silence" offered
the headphones...

Pros: descent noise canceling

Cons: Will break apart if you look at them the wrong way! Cheap, Cheap, and Cheap!

Review: Bought my QC2 about 1 year ago. Love the noise canceling especially on long flights. Unfortunately, this past month, one of the plastic 'cover' that holds the metal headband broke. I though maybe somebody hit the headset and broke it, but upon...
