Pros Comfort level, sound quality
Cons Price, durability
Recommended it? Yes

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 them. My jaw dropped as I wasn't sure if I had... Read full review »

Bose QuietComfort 2: or how my sanity was saved over the Pacific

bytelynor Feb 22, 2006
73 Helpfuls 74 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very comfortable over-the-ear comfort. Excellent sound. Hard carrying case.
Cons These are not small or sleek. Mine kept slipping off during the flight. Expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not exactly comfortable when I travel. Especially when it comes to flying on planes. The crowding, the vibrations and especially the noise are what send me into a near constant state of nervousness. When recently faced with traveling overseas to New Zealand, I decided the time had come to do... Read full review »

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very compact, great price, good sound quality, comfortable, attractive
Cons No volume adjustment, in-line battery pack a bit heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I am a frequent flyer and have been enduring airline engine noise for quite some years. I purchased a portable DVD player for flying and I was so disappointed when I couldn't hear the audio from it because of the droning, ambient sound of the aircraft - even with what I thought were a very decent...

Great value ANR headset

byfokkercharlie Oct 11, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Decent noise-reduction, price
Cons Build-quality, less-than perfect comfort.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought these headphones more in hope than expectation, having also tried the Philips SHN2500, which didn't work at all.

Initial impressions are mixed- after finally penetrating the wretched packaging, the package includes a light, drawstring carry-bag, and a two-prong airline adapter,... Read full review »
