subject: Bose Quietcomfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones - Best Christmas Gifts For Men Reviews [print this page] The Bose Quiet Comfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones don't come cheap, but with currently 119 5-Star Customer Ratings as opposed to 14 1-Star ratings on Amazon (as of Nov 8th 2010), these could in fact be as effective at reducing noise across a wider range of frequencies as Bose claim.
What do they do exactly?: Essentially what they do is - as Bose claims - make you hear less of the outside noise than ever before, and instead even more of your music and movies.
When you just want to get away from the noisy, tiresome, bothersome world, these could well be the perfect carry-on luggage.
Ideal for the frequent flyer who wants to watch a movie or listen to music, Bose has been in the noise cancelling headphones business for 20 years now, specifically designing headphones for airplane passengers and they argue their technology has come along way.
I've personally never experienced the luxury myself, but reading through Amazon's user reviews they seem more 90% positive. Their redesigned ear cushions use new materials to establish a critical acoustical seal, helping to further reduce noise while providing a comfortable fit.
Another Bose exclusive, their TriPort acoustic headphone structure, comes with tiny vents in the earcups to produce a tonally-balanced audio performance, which includes a reproduction of deep low notes, from within the relatively lightweight and small headphone set.
Price: $299.95
Features and Benefits:
90 Degrees Rotating Fold-Flat Earcups: Creates easy storage and portability in the case included.
Slim Carrying Case: This helps helps protect headphones and accessories during passenger travel.
Active equalization Device: This electronically tunes the headphones' frequency response, enabling outstanding audio performance.
TriPort Acoustic Headphone Structure: As mentioned features tiny vents in the earcups delivering tonally balanced audio performance.
Critical Acoustical Seal: Further reduces noise whilst providing comfortable fit.
Microphones Inside and Outside Each Earcup: Helps sense and reduce more of sounds around you.
Negatives:
Would have to say the price, I doubt as customer reviews suggest there is an equivalent set of acoustic noise cancelling headphones available, however, cheaper and still respected versions do exist.
Do we Recommend it?
Sure if you can afford it. Any man or women for that matter who is a frequent flyer will get a tonne of use out of this gift. If you're after a cheaper set however, then shop around on Amazon. Unlikely to find them cheaper elsewhere and always check user reviews.
