Bose has become well known for their unique selection of noise canceling headphones and the Bose Quietcomfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones are no different. Bose has combined the very best noise reducing technology and the best audio for headphones with the Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones. These are everything you would want in a pair of headphones. They reduce unwanted sound to where it is almost nonexistent. The advances in these headphones make the sound you are listening to close to perfection.

The human engineering design allows for a very cozy fit and the fold-flat feature makes it easy for you when you need to put your headphones away. When you put on a pair of the Bose Quietcomfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones your music will sound better than you have ever heard it. Years and years of Bose Research added together with the Noise Cancelling headphone technology delivers to you the best audio sound there is. This technology recognizes and eliminates the unwanted noises that you don’t want to hear. So, you will hear more of the music that you want to hear and less of the noise around you.

Unlike the regular run of the mill, big and bulky noise cancelling headphones, QuietComfort 2 headphones are really comfortable around your ears and lightweight. The Proprietary TriPort headphone technology also helps to give the listener the best audio sound you can find for the money while holding true to the design.

Review by A. Wirtanen

First, I am going to discuss the options for noise canceling headphones. Then, I am going to go into detail about the Bose QC2 headphones.

If you are looking for a great pair of high-end traditional headphones that cup your ear, you are looking in the right place; the Bose QuietComfort 2s are for you! If you are an audiophile (probably not if you are considering buying something from Bose) then look at the Sennheiser HD 650s ($400). If you don’t have a large budget and want reasonable noise-canceling, then look at the Sony MDR-NC6s ($35). If you like the supra-aural style of the Sony MDR-NC6s, but want a higher quality headphone, then wait for the Bose QuietComfort 3s ($349, release date June 15, 2006). If you are looking for noise canceling while operating landscaping equipment and OK audio performance, then look at John Deere’s Noise Canceling Headset ($89). If you are looking for a really lightweight supra-aural noise canceling headset, then consider the Sennheiser PXC 300 ($150). Finally, if you want noise-caneling ear canal headphones, then the Etymotic Research ER6i’s ($85) are for you.
