Cons None. I'm very pleased.
Recommended it? Yes

After previously being extremely disappointed with other ear-bud headphones which command a high price for mediocre sound, I let Mike at Freq City Sound talk me into giving the Westone UM2's a try.

From the moment I put them in I've been just amazed at the fantastic sounds quality these... Read full review »

Pros Warm Mids Strong punchy bass Accurate sound stage
Cons Price
Recommended it? Yes

From a UM1 user perspective, the bass seems so much more in terms of quantity and depth. However, the treble seems to have disappeared a little, but its still alright. The superbly rich mids makes listening not fatiguing.
With the shure rubber tips, I could feel some shrills, but when I used... Read full review »

Why did I buy the Bose QC15?

I was looking for a super high quality headphone and I tried the Bose QC15 at our local Best Buy and I was extremely amazed by how comfortable it is on my ears when I put it on!

The second thing that I noticed was the ability to cancel noise! They have a... Read full review »

Pros Greatly reduces ambient noise.  Comfortable.  Very good sound quality. ...
Cons Expensive.  No low battery indicator.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought Quiet Comfort 15 Noise Cancelling Headphones about 2 months ago for $300.00.  Previously, I said that $300 headphones were a luxuary that I could do without and, frankly, not worth the money, in my opinion.  What changed my mind?  Well, I had a 4 hour plane ride I was...
