Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling

Pros: Sound great, feel great, cancel great, are just great.

Cons: If the noise canceling battery dies, the headphones die, but battery lasts 30 hours.

The Bottom Line: The best set of noise canceling headphones you can purchase. They started working on the technology in 1976 and it’s clear that they’ve put tons of sweat into it.

Review: Sorry I haven’t written anything in awhile, I’ll be honest, I got bored, there was nothing new and exciting to test and listen to…until I got my hands on a pair of these babies. Why? or: I tell you how much I love you guys ...

Pros: Sound quality, comfort, and hiss-free noise canceling. Nice carrying case.

Cons: Cost... depending on how much you REALLY value sound quality, comfort, and quiet while traveling.

The Bottom Line: For peace and quiet and quality sound reproduction these are definitely worth it. Just try them for 30 days and you will not be able to give them up!

Review: If you are someone who travels frequently, travels on long flights, or both, you understand how tiring and stressful that can be. Up until now, I wasn't incredibly concerned with travel comfort since most of my flights are 3 1/2 hours or less. I ...

Pros: First class noise reduction circuitry, great design, good tight bass response, great battery life

Cons: Very expensive. Bass sounds could be a little less muddy sounding and more defined.

The Bottom Line: If you want serious noise reduction, or you need headphones for listening in a plane, get these. Top notch!

Review: Got a pair of these headphones for free (through AMEX reward points), and have been using them for almost 3 months. As much as they are very expensive, $350, I would say that initially, I would give them a 2nd thought in terms of spending the money ...

Pros: Quiet... Shuts the world up. Sounds fantastic.

Cons: Expensive..but you get what you pay for.

The Bottom Line: Buy it now if you listen in loud areas.

Review: I listen to music often when I work to help me get into the "zone" when I design. I live in a loft in a busy area with large windows that allow just about any noise in the area into my workspace. Between the garbage trucks some morning, honking horns, ...

Pros: Awesome sound quality when playing music, unequaled consumer noise canceling ability. They are just cool...

Cons: If I must pick, it would be the cost, but they are well worth it.

The Bottom Line: Strong Buy and Hold!

Review: One big misunderstanding with these headphones is that they cancel all noise, they don't, they cancel ambient/white noise. For example, the sound of a noisy air conditioner running will be eliminated from your ears and you could actually carry on a ...

Pros: Design, Noise Cancelling, Sound.

Cons: Price - that's it!

The Bottom Line: I would recommed these to anyone who uses headphones on a regular basis or flies a lot. The price is justified through use!

Review: I purchased my Bose QC3 headphones in 2005 primarily for use on 4+ hour flights. I had been using a pair of Phillips noise cancelling headphones until my dog ate them. I'm glad she did because the quality of the Bose is far superior. DESIGN - the ...

Pros: GREAT for use on airplanes.

Cons: You might need to buy a second battery but other than that nothing.

The Bottom Line: If you fly frequently buy these headsets, they eliminate the noise.

Review: I am on an airplane every week, sometimes twice a week and have used Bose noise cancelling headsets for the past five plus years. I've had several models but the QC3 is the best. Design: they fold up and come in a case that fits easily into my Tumi ...

Pros: Comfortable. QUIET. Great sound.

Cons: Expensive!

The Bottom Line: Awesome headphones. Comfortable, great sound, awesome noise cancelling characteristics. Very pricey but if you have a real need or desire to own these, they are worth every penny!

Review: I am planning on taking a trip to Russia. I know I am going to be on that plane for 10 to 12 hours each way. I wanted some way to enjoy the music, the trip and relax during the flight. I know these are going to help me. I work in a very loud and ...

Pros: The music sounds wonderful again; our hearing is protected from long hours of loud noises.

Cons: The QC3's case takes up some space in your bag while it lightens your wallet.

The Bottom Line: Regain some peace and quiet and keep what is left of your hearing while enjoying your favorite tunes and beating the noise pollution around us.

Review: For several years my husband and I have been bothered by excessive road and airplane noise while traveling, and we finally decided to bite the bullet and try the new Bose Quiet Comfort 3 noise cancelling headphones with their 30 day moneyback guarantee. ...
