Recommended it? Yes

---- Why do I need 'Noise Canceling'? -----

During my last cross-country plane flight I was seated next to a young man wearing what appeared to be large silver earmuffs. At second glance I realized they were actually headphones, as if the large Bose logo on the side wasn't a hint. After... Read full review »

Great headphones, but not comparable to high end models

Pros Maxell's unit costs less and still are effective for those on a lower budget.
Cons Lower quality noise reduction may not be as attractive to those seeking high end...
Recommended it? Yes

ears. They look and feel solid too. These headphones easily fold for storage. Using a pouch supplied with the headset helps making cord and N.C. on/off slider safer when carrying it around. Noise canceling is good for low pitch noise. I haven't flown in them, but I've worn them in noisy places and... Read full review »

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.

When recently faced with traveling overseas to New Zealand, I decided the time had come to do... Read full review »
