  4. Bose QuietComfort 3 Noise-Canceling Headphones

    31 March 2007

    Bose may charge a lot for its technology, but it's a company that isn't afraid to keep innovating and reengineering products to make them uniquely their own. Though I've not used the QC 2, the QC 3's reduced size, lighter weight, and on-ear design have no doubt pushed the envelope for noise-canceling headphones. Meanwhile, the 3 noise-canceling headphones' performance, fit and finish, and "presentation" out of the box have instilled in me a pride of ownership whenever I... Read more

    Bose still produces its excellent QuietComfort 2 headphones, but its QuietComfort 3 are ideal if you desire a smaller, more portable design.

    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 ... Read more
