Bose QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones

 (5 customer reviews)

HOW USED: primarily for flying, but also at my desk w/ my laptop. COMPARISONS: Before settling on the Bose QC-2's, I tested (on flights) the following noise-cancelling headphones: Bose QC-3's, Sennheiser PX-250's, and Solitudes (LINX, ver. 3). All had good-to-excellent sound, plus individual pros & cons. CONCLUSION: which headphone is "best" depends on your tastes, physique, and priorities. PROS (vs. other models): more comfortable for long periods than on-the-ear phones; have the deepest (more comfortable) over-the-ear cups; use normal batteries--you're not compelled to use expensive, proprietary batteries; noise-cancelling component is built-into headset (vs. awkward capsule on wire). CONS: clunky when turning head to side or trying to sleep; ears may sweat in sealed-off cups. Though not perfect, the Bose QC-2's are the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market (for me). Though pricey, they're worth it, making frequent flying far more pleasant!

The Quiet Comfort Headphones (QC2) them selves are an excellent quality product. I purchaced these headphones to replace a pair I had lost while vacatonaing recently.

These QC2's were advdertised as refurbishes which is why I purchaced them in the first place. After purchacing these headphones from the seller on Amazon, I clicked on the link in an email I received from the seller and Amazon to check the status and delivery date and discovered they were coming from Hong Kong, China. I'm not nocking China but, had I known prior to ordering, I would have at the very least given a second thought to ordering from another country. Afterall, what recourse do I have when the item arrives and there is something wrong with it?

The headphones came with no accessories which was not stated on the website. I contacted Bose to purchace the accessories and I found out that the headphones did not have the equipment decal which contained the serial number which Bose requested...Read more

The headphones were received in great condition and very fast. Would purchase from this seller again. Plus you made me look like a hero!!!
