Premium phones. where's the cushion replacement kit? [Posted on 2008-05-26]
I'll start by saying I am tired of reading all the reviews that state "exaggerated bass" lets try this the Bose on ear triports have successfully designed a very efficient method to bring out that bass that is in most cans but only Bose patented Triport Method can deliver that bass to your ears. One thing I noticed first is that there is a vent on each can so these cans are kind of like open air phones with a huge plus bass. The mids and highs are not drowned out like some say they are flat and perfect if you want more just give it a +2db treble increase. I also noticed when I place these on my head the sound is direct and solid they have a very quiet background ambience where the Sennheiser HD280 sounded like I was in an auditorium. When I tested the cans I did it at flat or +/-0 to be fair and the Bose just shined above the others. When testing on movies the Bose completely took that category with sound better resembling my home theatre. The one thing you will not need with the Bose is any type of bass boost circuitry just shut it all off and enjoy these cans. Has any one noticed all those reviews on other cans where they claim the bass is flat however they have to add up to +12db to extract a desirable amount of bass? The 180 clam price tag is justified in my opinion as you are paying for the R&D that can bring you something so fabulous in a nice small light weight package. One star is lost as the replacement ear cushion kit is no where to be had.

amazing [Posted on 2008-07-17]
damn this things are amazing, i put off buying these for a while because YES, They are very expensive, however i decided to buy them about 2 weeks ago and they are amazing, i dont even miss the money!!!! everything sounds absolutely fantastic with these, bass is superb and so are the mids and highs, crystal clear sound. they seem sturdy enough to carry around but the carry case is portable enough if you wish to carry them in your backpack to skool or work or watever. You will not regret buying these babies they are fantastic. it is also worth mentioning that they are not noise cancelling but because of the super-confortable memory foam cushion material that adapt to the shape of your ears, THEY DO BLOCK OUT ALOT OF OUTSIDE NOISE, i live in NY so blocking out traffic,horns,and people screaming on the streets is essential, and these sets brings all of those obsructions down to super minimum volume. 100% RECOMMENDED.
p.s: if you are upgrading from those terrible ipod headphones you are in for one BIG improvement here, you will not believe the sound!!!
buy these! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
i've tried a few sets of headphones, and fell in love with these. i bought them mainly for travel (planes, etc.) They sound great, block out plenty of noise on an airplane, are very lightweight and you can barely feel them on your head, so they're incredibly comfortable to wear for long stretches. The parts that go on your ears fold inwards to become compact and flat, and take up very little room in my carry-on. Also, the cord is detachable... it comes with two different length cords to choose from. I'm so, so happy i found these. they're not cheap, but worth every penny, in my opinion.
Great alternative to the QuietComfort 3 [Posted on 2008-08-07]
These On-ear Triports are like the QuietComfort 3 headphones, but the difference is it does not have the noise cancelling technology, cost less than half the price, and sounds almost as good as the QuietComfort 3, but not better, which is perfect for me because I already have the QuietComfort 2 headphones that I love and could not justify paying the higher price for the QuietComfort 3 when the tech specs for the the QuietComfort 2 were better. In fact the QuietComfort 2 battery lasts for 40hrs and is easily replaceable compared to QuietComfort 3 battery which lasts 25hrs, but the battery is not easily replaceable. The only advantages QuietComfort 3 had was the Size, design, fit, and probably comfort due to the memory foam ear-cup that adjusts to the shape of your ears and is like having an ear massage, which is a feature the Bose On-ear triports have too.
Anyway I plugged these headphones into my Zune and the sound was amazing without burn-in, but that is probably because my Zune has gotten used to Bose audio engineering from headphones. In fact I also own the Bose In-ear headphones that I use on my Zune.
Tip: To reduce burn-in time listen to music from your MP3 player or audio device without EQ or anything that electronically alters the audio signal sent to the headphones because these headphones work as advertised and produce life like sound.
