Home Audio & Speakers : Bose QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones

They are pricey, if you spend a lot of time with them, they are definitely worth it. The sound is really great and the bass is very deep, though it does have a signature "Bosey" sound to it since it has to employ acoustic tricks to replicate low-frequencies at high volumes. No one around you will hear a think when you listen to them. You will still hear people talking around you, but they do remove ambient pretty well. I would definitely recommend these for the music, not to block out noise though. They are very comfortable and durable and when I broke part of the headband, Bose sent me a new pair. They require AAA, but they burn through them slowly and with rechargables its not the least bit burdensome. Hide Full Review

I bought these headphones because I work in a somewhat noisy office environment where it is hard to concentrate. They do a pretty decent job of cancelling out office conversations but they definitely don't remove the noise completely. I've heard that they work better for cancelling out noise that has a constant tone, for example airplane engines, but I have not tried this yet.
The sound quality is great - I generally use them to listen to MP3s from my Yahoo! Music Unlimited online service. They are extremely comfortable to wear. However, at $299, I think they're a little over-priced. Hide Full Review

I had used the Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones on international travel,- About once every other month for 13 months. The left channel just stopped working. For $300, you would think Bose could care more. They didn't.

I gave Bose plenty of chances to make it right. Sorry to flame, but it is important for others to know. Hide Full Review

I have had the QC2 headphones for two years and would never go back to standard ones again. I love the way the music envelopes you when you are listening to music you love. The Bose headphones lock out the world as long as you keep them on...and the ...music playing...It's a high price to pay for a pair of headphones, yes...but it's an investment that you will not regret if you are looking for the last pair you'll ever have to buy. After two years of heavy use, one of the cup mountings broke and by then the warranty had expired. I contacted Bose and they offered me a great trade in deal. This was my third purchase from them and they have taken care of me every time. Hide Full Review
