Good Sound. cheap headband makes them useless

Date of Review:  Oct 15, 2008
Review: I'm the third person in our office who has had the headband on these earphones break right abouve the ear cup. In my case, one side broke, the other is cracked. They are a little over a year old, so Bose wants $60.00 to repair them. $60.00 to repair...

Active noise cancellation has a long way to go...

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Try other brands. The average sound quality, noise cancellation, and convenience do not justify the price with so many competitive products available.
Review: Let me preface this review with the facts that I worked for Bose for a long time (great experience, but not the subject of this review) and that I got to compare the QC2 side by side with offerings from Sony, Aiwa, Sennheiser, Etymotic, and Shure...

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2009
Review: I received these for Christmas from my wife.  As soon as I tried these, I was suspect of the audio quality.  I have a fairly high-end system, which includes both analog and digital.  I tried these headphones for several hours with both sources and...

Questionable structure design issues

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2006
Review: I totally bought 3 QC-2 2 years ago; one for myself, two for my brother and his friend. In 2 years, 2 of the three have had the same problem - the plastic structure connecting the sliding metal piece and the ear pad got broken. When my brother first...

Bose QuietComfort 2 - Business Traveler's Best Friend

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2006
Review: I have owned other headphones that had noise canceling capabilities but none came any where close to this sweet unit. Plug them in or just use them on their own to kill the sounds of the jet engines. You'll want to travel with a spare AAA battery...

Produce music with reduced noise as promised

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2006
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...

Close But No Cookie

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: If they concentrated as much on natural sound reproduction as they did on noise canceling and presentation, they'd have an awesome product.
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...

Stay Away from these headsets! Please Read!

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend these headsets. Go Sennheiser instead!
Review: 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...

QuietComfort 2---Astounding Listening Experience!

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2004
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...

Excellent reliability and noise cancellation for those who fly alot.

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2008
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...
