    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quieter than normal headphones

    Weaknesses:Bad sound quality for the price, shoddy contruction

    Overall Evaluation: Bose is really like the overhyped name brand of audio for the mainstream. Do real audiophiles buy Bose? No. Simply because it's not the best and you can get better for less dough. Instead look at companies like AudioTechnica or Shure for great sound reduction or even better sound isolation (Shure).

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Feeling og quality and luxury, eliminates noise

    Weaknesses:none to speak of

    Overall Evaluation: I can't compare these to other NC headsets, but I used them on a recent flight and the noise reduction was outstanding. The time flew by, and i was not fatigued due to the lack of noise. They work great even if you don't have music or sound playing. Very relaxing

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: They do what they say.

    Weaknesses:Does not make tea.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought my headset because I damaged my hearing working on the lighting for a BBC Elton John concert. His PA runs at 125db minimum, but this was not the problem. I have to listen to production talkback, but because I had to crank it up so loudly to drown out the din in the auditorium I ended up damaging my hearing. After about two weeks my hearing returned to normal. I don't want to be deaf at 40 so I got some of these. I tried all the others but none of them work. We had them on trial at our studios and they went down well with the sound engineers so I bought some. Now I can hear my instructions from production in noisy venues without having to perforate my eardrums! Benefits on this model include big phones which provide a comfortable seal all the way around your ears helping to reduce noise from the outside. As for audio reproduction, they sound pretty good to me. In the UK this item can be classed as a Health and Safety accessory and their full value can be claimed back against tax - nice eh?

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Unsurpassed noise cancelation, great sound. Smaller than typical over the ear headphones due to innovative pivot to fold flat

    Weaknesses:Large compared to in ear headphones.

    Overall Evaluation: To sum up how I feel about my Bose Quiet Comfort 2 Headset is that I get mad at myself if I find I have left them home when I go to the airport. The trip is torture when I don't have them with me. Using my non-noise cancelling earbuds I have to crank my Ipod to about 75% volume to hear on any airplane. Using the Bose I have my volume set to about 25% which is only slightly higher than when I listen in a quiet room. I also can say that with the Bose headphones I have repeatedly heard parts of musical passages that were not evident with other headphones or my home stereo. If you travel on airplanes often just go buy them. They are worth the cost. I had a piece break off the headset this year to my dismay. A quick call to Bose and I had a brand new set to replace the broken ones at no cost to me. Now that is customer service. Try that with any other company after almost 4 years and see if how pleased you will be. Bose was fantastic and I had the new headphones in 4 days, in time for my next flight out.Simply the best noise reduction phones.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: comfort, noise canceling

    Weaknesses:big, size price, battery

    Overall Evaluation: Those headphones it?s the best for the following usage in order of performance or cost benefit:1.for travel it?s the best headphone maybe even for one trip because if you need to learn or hear a music you will not hear the noise from the plane making very comfortable flight, the weakness is the big size, this bring two weakness: 1. if your wish to sleep from the side that will be not so comfortable because they are very big, 2. takes more space in the bag, you can put in your pocket.2. In the train or subway also it?s the same advantage you get from the plane but we have two additional weakness: 1. in the subway or train you will be very attractive for stole or seems strange person, 2. when you travel by train or subway some time you hasn?t any bag like the plane.3.office or at home will be good if you don?t want to hear any noise besides the music or a lesson, but the weakness is the wire I bought this to my uncle and I tested completely but this is not my style I prefer much more a small headset because I can use in any situation I use the Shure e4, but the Etymotic Research ER-4 MicroPro Earphones has better noise canceling more than Shure or Bose. if you need a small you should buy Shure e3 or e4 if you don?t have problem with the size buy Quiet Comfort Bose 2 95% of the reviews of some websites cheeked they approve the product.
