Product Description
Bose around-ear headphones answer the call for smooth, high-performance sound in a very lightweight package. Hear a greater range of music whether you're plugged into a computer or on the go with a portable media device. Their ergonomic design keeps them remarkably comfortable and lightweight, even as proprietary Bose headphone technology reveals the rich acoustical landscape of your music. With Bose technology, you don't have to compromise the quality of your audio just because you're listening through a pair of headphones. Our acoustic equalization techniques deliver the rich nuances of your music that conventional headphones often lose. You hear the intricate notes of an acoustic guitar, the full range of vocals and even the beat of a drum with greater clarity and impact. Our unique TriPort acoustic headphone structure faithfully reproduces deep, full low notes without requiring the artificial bass boost function found on many portable players.
Soft ear cushions gently fit around your ear for hours of comfortable listening. A thin, adjustable headband has several head size settings and the earcups swivel for a better fit. An additional benefit of Bose TriPort headphone technology is that it helps reduce headphone size without sacrificing performance, resulting in a total weight of only five ounces. Carrying bag - Provides an easy way to bring your headphones wherever you go Overall headphone dimensions - ? 7 1/2H x 6W ? (19.1 x 15.2 cm); Ear cushion outside dimensions - ? 3 4/5H x 2 9/10W ? (9.6 x 7.4 cm) Corded Includes Miniplug and Standard Plug Adapter

4 out of 5 stars Great Sound..but build flaws   September 29, 2008
While I read most people either have the cord break at the cups or the plastic piece holding the cups mine actually freyed off at the stereo plug.

The problem is the cord is simply too long, I used rubberbands to make the cord shorter but it'd still get caught on everything even though the cord was ran inside my shirt instead of outside. It took plenty of tugs and pulls before the end finally gave in.

Yes they are pricey but the sound is excellent. If they'd make one with a shorter cord I'd gladly buy another set..but until then I'm not spending so much on head phones.



1 out of 5 stars Overpriced...overpriced...overpriced...   September 22, 2008
Ok, I have had this pair of headphones for 2+ years. I have to disagree with some people saying the build quality is horrible. I havent had any problem with the headphones in that department. The only thing I replaced on it were the ear cushions. But i think the reason people buy this headphones is because "it sounds so nice." I was in the same boat and got suckered into buying this at the Bose store [...] Boy was I stupid. I bought another pair of sony dj monitor headphones (MDR-V700DJ) for my turntables and i found that the sony sounds WAY better than the bose and it is half the price. The sony has better bass, way better mids (bose doesnt have any) and good highs. I would not buy this pair of headphones for any reason or recommend anybody else to buy it. I would strongly recommend you to buy a good pair of sony.


3 out of 5 stars sound nice but flimsy   September 13, 2008
These sound great and are very comfortable. Unfortunately, they are kind of flimsy, especially around the ear pieces. Mine came apart and will not stay intact any more... every time I take them off, the left earcup falls out. still sound nice but a pain to "put together" every time I use them.
should come with a sticker: Some Re-Assembly required



2 out of 5 stars Great sound, but they broke   July 9, 2008
These are comfortable to wear and the sound is great, but they are not of high quality construction. Mine lasted approximately a year and a half before snapping near the ear cover. There are similar complaints all over the web. For a $130-140 price tag, I would expect them to last significantly longer. It is definitely disappointing as I remember the pain when I dished out the money. I would avoid these unless you are into disposable headsets.


5 out of 5 stars Come on!, These things sound amazing!   June 10, 2008
You get what you pay for, and these are worth every penny. Deep bass, and crisp highs!
