    On-ear noise-cancellers for the executive Eagles fan, the Bose QuietComfort 3s bring all of Bose’s techincal know-how to the plate. But are they worth the usual high Bose price? Read more

    • An unusual, “on-ear” design, they sit more than comfortably but without making you resemble a cyberman. Sonic performance is really excellent, and actually does live up to Bose’s boasts for a change, with a very well round...
    • Although you do get two batteries, they are of Bose’s own devising, so you can’t just buy a couple of AAAs should you run out of juice, meaning you have to remember to charge them up every 20 hours or so. Designed for the ...

    The headphones come in a handy travel case that can be fitted with a shoulder strap, so when you board a plane, you haven't left them in your other bag. Read more

    • They do their job very well indeed.
    • Should be space allocated in the pouch for the charger plug fitting.
