Customer Review: Best pair of headphones I've ever purchased!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a good pair of headphones for my Creative Zen Vision M, which I was using the earbuds that came with it. I had purchased a Bose Acoustic wave radio/cd/mp3 for my dad at xmas, and was impressed with the sound, albeit at a high price. So, i figured I'd spoil myself a bit, and buy the Bose over ear phones, even though I balked at the price. Let me say that I am glad I did. These phones are the best I ever purchased. The sound is amazing! And the bass is unreal! I'm a pretty big fan of Techno music, and all I can say is WOW! If you love techno/house/trance, these are the phones to get.
I will admit, it may take some hours of listening to get used to. I know when I first put them on, I wasn't so sure about them. But after listening with these phones for about 10 hours, you really start to hear the superiority of these headphones. So give them time, they are worth it!
The only negative about them is price. It is a bit steep to pay $160 for a pair of headphones. Can you find a better bang for your buck? I don't know. But one thing is for sure, I won't be buying a pair of headphones for a very very long time.
Customer Review: MEMBERSHIP DOES HAVE IT'S REWARDS... BEST HEADPHONES EVER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these Bose Triport OE's using my American Express Rewards points (No cash!!) and I truly believe these are the BEST headphones I've ever owned. I'm keeping my Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Cancelling but this is a definite 'step up' from the former. I will primarily use the Bose OE's for flights/vacations/etc. A nice sturdy case is provided for transport in a carry-on bag. You need to 'break' them in for a bit, but once you're set, you're set to go!!! Peace - Joe G **UPDATE** - I still love these headphones, but they are not suited for travel - So I decided to purchase the Bose Noise Cancelling QC-3 On-Ear Headphones (I had extra cash to spend...) and I simply LOVE IT!!! Worth every penny of the almost three hundred smackers - I fly on average once a month and it's just perfect while flying 'The Friendly Skies' - I gave my Sony NC to a friend and while I still recommend those headphones (The Sony's are great!!!) I'm in a stable financial situation where I could afford the Bose QC-3 and feel good about it (Because the Bose QC-3 will be the last pair of headphones I will need for at least ten years) Joe GCustomer Review: Not Worth It...
Summary: 1 Stars
These headphones are not ergonomically designed very well. Don't try to work, read or eat with them on (i.e. point your head down), for the top will begin to slide forward on your head. Plus, they begin to hurt the outside of your ears after about an hour of use.
Bose did well to perfect the high and low end of this product; however, they have completely failed to offer a clear mid-range. If you are a fan of Radiohead, or groups that have intricate, technically savvy mid-range creations, then do not waste your money here. A 'for instance' is "You and Whose Army?" This song begins to break up almost seconds into the song. I don't know what the other reviews are so happy about. I honestly think people are afraid to criticize the Bose product simply because it is a Bose. It's like, "Oh, these are Bose headphones: they must be comfortable and support a heavy mid-range!" even though they are flimsy pieces of garbage that one could expect to be served before a movie on an airplane. Congratulations to Bose on a fantastic marketing campaign and a horrible product.
Customer Review: You will be pleased with Bose Triport OE Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
In comparison to popluar headphone brands like Sony, Sennheiser, and even Skullcandy... Bose has a leg up on the competition. By simply holding the item, one can determine the true quality that separates Bose headphones from flimsy competitors. The Triport model has a variety of miniture features that add up to an A+ product. The headband feature can expand and contract to fit smaller and larger heads. The material is suede-like and extremely comfortable, as are the earcups as well! The headphones are not intended to block all outside noises, but fortunately they do a great job at reducing background noises. Such a feature makes the headphones ideal for loud settings like subways or crowded rooms. The elongated cord can be convenient as well. This is a 5 star product.
The only possible drawback to the headphones is that the price for a new pair exceeds $100. Regardless of the price, the product's unmatched sound quality speaks for itself and will undoubtedly contribute to your satisfaction with the product. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: way better than overpriced bose noise cancelling headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this headphone 2 weeks ago and I love it! These things don't require battery that the more expensive noise cancelling cousin requires and when I have these headphones on my ears it deadens my environment noise by 50%!! I'm not even kidding!!!! These headphones have deep bass, which allows for lively music listen....After buying these headphones for myself I never went back to the included headphones from my ipod and my brother loved it soooo much that he bought it too(but over the ear headphone). These headphones don't have built-in active noise cancelling technology buuuut these headphones deadens some environment noise better than most $50-$60 noise cancelling headphones with their noise cancelling features on! These headphones probably offer same sound quality to their noise cancelling more expensive cousins except these things don't require battery just to play musics! I have worn these headphones over my car trip last week and it significantly reduced car's road noise significantly without my music playing!
