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

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.

Cons May not be large enough for big heads. Fussy cable a pain in the butt.

Recommended it? Yes

I found these headphones to be an excellent value with good sound quality, decent noise suppression, comfortable ergonomics, and a friendly price. They make a nice seal on your head when you wear them, but they remain comfortable.

Sound quality is quite nice. I'm not one of those... Read full review »

HOW/WHY I FOUND THE AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-ANC7:

Once upon a time, my wife bought me a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones as a Christmas gift. They were, without a doubt, the finest headphones I've ever owned. They weren't made of the strongest stuff (after about 2 years of very light... Read full review »
