Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones [Posted on 2008-05-03]
I really like the Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. They are fabulous and I especially like the Noise Cancelling. Only one problem with that though is I can't hear when someone is trying to get my attention.
They really work great though and I am totally satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend these to everyone even though they are a bit pricey.
Good Headphones -- But at a Price [Posted on 2008-05-07]
I received the Bose Q3's as a gift. No doubt about it, they cancel out the noise. I didn't realize how much background noise there is at my office but when I put them on all went silent. It is pretty amazing. Then I played some music and the sound is quite good. I can see how these would be great for car and plane travel. Nonetheless, I would not pay $350.00 (or anything like that) for them -- but that's just me. If you have enough use for them and don't mind the price tag, then I recommend them to you, they are exactly what they claim to be. (1 star reduced only because of the cost).
can't beat 'em... [Posted on 2008-05-09]
...these are by far the best noise-cancelling headphones out there. Yes, they are expensive. Why? Because you get what you pay for.
Sensitive ears beware [Posted on 2008-06-08]
ok, so the QC3 does reduce the noise levels. i bought mine 2 weeks back, and travelled with them on two 4-5 hour flights. the experience, however, was not exactly what i wished for. like somebody else has put her comments on the earache caused by QC3, i can vouch for it having experienced it first hand. i had traveled enough to say that i never had any issues before this, even when i was traveling with no earphones/earplugs.
it might be coz of the fact that my ears are overly sensitive, quite possible. but for people like me, wearing QC3 on a long flight could be quite a really bad experience (the reason i persisted for hours with the earphones was that i wanted to make sure). i returned them 3 days back. when you goto the store and test them, make sure that you are absolutely comfortable with the pair, if you feel even little uncomfortable, believe me, it would be a lot worse in the actual flight due to the simple fact that you would be wearing them for long hours.
if you have no issues with that, then you would find QC3 making your journeys a lot quieter for sure. on that front, the headphones do their job as advertised. my point of giving them two stars is the very facts that they were totally useless for me, coz the side effects i described, and i have to waste money in shipping them back (i moved to san antonio where there is no bose store).
Bose Q3 [Posted on 2008-07-05]
I ordered the Bose Q3 because of all the good reviews I read online. The main purpose I purchased them was to cancel out all the office noise- mostly people on the phone or just plain chatting in office cubes next to mine. So the noise canceling feature was the driving principal here. In the office it did mute some things, like the click of the keyboard, the hum of the air conditioning vent, and it did soften most of the ambient noise. However, I could still hear those annoying chitchat conversations in the cubes across and even a few down from mine. Honestly, for $350 bucks I was looking for almost dead silence. Maybe my expectations were too high. I never tired them on a plane or listening to music, so I can't comment on that. So I returned them to Bose without any problem.
