Product Description
Bose on-ear headphones deliver clean, rich sound in a small, light, on-ear design. Just slip them on and enjoy high-performance audioengineered exclusively by Bose. You'll hear deep lows. Clear mids. Sweet highs. Distinct separation of instruments. Try them with your favorite tracks and you just may find nuances you never heard before. You may also find yourself forgetting you have them on. Bose on-ear headphones weigh less than five ounces. Their earcups are softly padded with memory foam that gently conforms to the shape of your ears. And they're designed to rotate from front-to-back and top-to-bottomfor enhanced fit that reduces pressure points. You can wear them comfortably for hours on end. Bose on-ear headphones feature proprietary Bose technologies that produce high-quality audio in this compact on-ear design. The unique TriPort(R) acoustic headphone structure provides excellent low-frequency output and helps create a wide range of audio from such small, lightweight earcups. There's no need to push buttons or adjust knobs, and no batteries are required. You just plug in and experience full-bodied, well-balanced audio that brings out the details in your music. These headphones make great commuting partners. They include two detachable audio cables of different lengths. Use the shorter 16" cable with armband or shirt-pocket connections, or link it to the standard 43" cable when you need added reach. Both cables attach to just one earcup, so there's less tangling than with conventional Y-cables. Bose on-ear headphones also feature a collapsible headband and fold-flat earcups. To pack them away, simply fold the cups flat, pivot them into the center of the headband and tuck them into their compact carrying case. Whatever your listening pleasure, we think Bose on-ear headphones will make it even more pleasurable. Use them with portable media players, at the office and at home. One listen is all it takes to hear the difference Bose technologies make.

 AMAZING! January 4, 2009
I have an ipod, and the earbuds that are supplied with it are terrible. So I decide to do justice to my music and search for a better set of headphones. Not only are these headphones attractive, but they sound great and are very comfortable! Yes, they are a bit on the expensive side, but they are worth so much more than you pay. I have had mine for around 6 months and they have held up very well. A great set for any music lover!
P.S. The cable provided with the headphones is not very durable. I recommend replacing it with a thicker one.
 Great sound. Bad price. January 1, 2009
I love these headphones. I don't, however, believe that they are worth $150+, but I snagged them for $140 off of retailslashers, so I guess I caught a break. The sound of these headphones are phenomenal (at least in my limited experience). They have great potential for all sorts of music of different varieties, which is perfect for me because I listen to a lot of classical music, as well as heavy bass hip-hop and rap, and they sound great for metal or rock too!
The mid range of these headphones are GREAT, reproducing subtle sounds and nuances that increase the quality of the sound a lot compared to cheaper headphones. The high range is pretty good, and the bass thumps pretty nicely on hip hop and adds depth to classical and rock. I also have about a $40-$50 pair of "AKG K 26 P" which I am comparing to these headphones. The main different between these great portable headphones is the strength and quality of materials, because they sound pretty good too. There are definitely differences in the mid and high ranges, but the bass is very good on the AKG's. I guess if you're willing to dish out an extra $100 for brand, materials, and better mid and high range, then these headphones are for you.
The best feature, in my opinion, is the comfortableness of the padded ear cups. Not only do they create a GREAT seal which blocks out a lot of ambient noise, but they can rest on my ears for hours without me feeling to least bit uncomfortable. I usually use them on my computer at night, and sometimes I forget I have them on and think my speakers are playing. They do tend to get a bit warm, but that's a small price to pay for the great comfort these headphones provide. The AKG's I have are painful to wear sometimes, because they are very tight and have hard foam ear cups.
In conclusion, I would say that this was a good purchase because I find myself constantly using them, even when not necessary, and they look and feel like they'll last me a long time. I did not test any headphones in this price range, so as far as I know there could be much better headphones for $150, but these ones sound great to me.
Great Quality and Price December 29, 2008
I bought these Bose on-ear headphons for my son and he absolutely loves them. The sound quality is excellent. Also comes with a high quality case.
What are you Waiting For? PERFECT set of Headphones! November 25, 2008
Nothing compares to the quality of these headphone! They are extremely comfortable, have INCREDIBLE sound quality, and are very durable. I use in combination with my IPOD, or laptop when watching movies while traveling.
A few additional observations:
1. Sound BETTER than the Bose "Around-Ear" model.
2. Great zippered - professional case
3. Not sound deadening - but completely blocks out background airplane noise!
4. Headphones have a "Jack" feature - and includes a short & long wire.
5. Wires are VERY durable - rubber like quality.
EASY Recommendation - ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
OK October 10, 2008
Im completely satisifed with my purchase. Rate i still feel to be bit high when compared to other brands. But the Brand Bose made me to take this aside. It is very light and don feel like wearing it even after long hours. It reduces noise by almost 50 percentage by jst wearing it. Awesome design and sound quality. Nothing to complain abt.
