Price Paid:
$300.00
from Bose Store Summary: The Bose noise canceling headphones are great on their own. The noise reduction feature is great while traveling (Aside from the "White Noise") . The headphones are VERY comfortable and fit very well. When compared to others they are less great. The big downfall of these headphones is the price. For $100 these would be great but there are a few reasons I consider the $300 price tag a rip-off. For one the audio quality is not audiophile quality as you would expect from a $300 pair of headphones. The bass is good (for headphones) but the highs are terrible. I am a fan of many types of music but cannot stand to listed to Beethoven or many other classical artists on these due to poor sound quality. Piano and violin just sound dull. The second big downfall is the build quality. After using these headphones for about 3 months one of the plastic sides broke (From stretching headphones over your head, never happened with any other pair before). Then a month later the other side broke. They are still usable and adjustable but I must keep tape, yes tape, on them to keep the earpieces from falling off the base. Overall, your money would be better spent elsewhere in my opinion. Strengths: Very Comfortable, noise reduction works well in loud environments (not 100% of course) Weaknesses: Too expensive, Poor Sound Quality (For Price), Poor Durability
