BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

This set of headphones is the best accessory that you can buy for any music player. It is very expensive but if you are looking fo…Read morer the best quality you can get and money is not a question that this is for you. You will find that these headphones provide everything you need in a sound system and exceed that. You can hear nothing around you with the volume about half way up and the quality of the
sound is up to Bose's high top level standards. If money is not a problem these are the most comfortable,best sound quality and most sound reducing headphones on the market.(17 of 23 people found this review useful)

... is an acronym most audiophiles seem to agree on when it comes to Bose. The company which brought us the Wave music system has …Read morefor many years rested on its laurels. Like its competitors Bang & Olufsen and Nakamichi, Bose has used its name to demand a big premium for its products, to great effect.
The QC2s are a decent enough pair of headphones – or, at least they would have been, if they cost $100; but they cost USD $299. Comfort aside, there's no explaining away the flat, uninspired sound and sometimes muddy bass. The fact that the $95 Grado SR80s and $139 Etymotic ER6i's blow the QC2s out of the water (to say nothing of Sennheiser's similarly priced offerings) makes justifying their $299 price tag that much more difficult.(522 of 738 people found this review useful)

Great Sound, Comfortable, but Fragile!

The plastic headband breaks. I am a computer programmer and use my QC2's just about every day at work. They have extremely good …Read moresound and can be worn for hours a day very comfortably. The problem is that the plastic headband breaks. My first pair lasted 9 months. Bose replaced them under warranty. My second pair, after being extremely gentle with them, broke in 18 months. Even though they were out of warranty, Bose kindly replaced them with a brand new set. My third pair lasted for 25 months. Again Bose graciously has agreed to replace them out of warranty.
Thank you Bose, but why not just fix the problem?

Great sound and comfortable for long periods of listening
Written by MF from Toronto

The active noise cancellation is really good on these, but the units do seem a bit pricey compared to others. Ambiant white noise …Read moreis dramatically reduced which is great for aircraft noise and generally background noise at the office. However voices etc. are audible (slightly muted).
I find these very comfortable for long listening periods but occasionally find my ear drums slightly irritated. From other sites, this is apparently a result of the noise cancellation added pressure on the ear.
All in all a good pair of great sounding head phones. There is definitely a premium being paid though for the Bose name.(266 of 350 people found this review useful)
