What do people say
Some Positive
By the way, many users of Bose (and other) noise-cancelling headphones complain , sometimes bitterly, about he sensation of “ear pressure” when the noise-cancelletion is activated. This is an illusion that arises because actual pressure on un-equalized eardrums (as when climbing or descending in an aircraft) has the effect of reducing the low frequency response of the eardrums. That loss of low-frequency sensitivity is read by the brain as pressure, which, in the case of altitude change, it actually is. Noise cancelling headphones drastically attenuate ambient low frequency sounds, many of which we register unconsciously. The brain interprets this as pressure on the eardrum, even though this is not actually the case.

So first thing Thursday morning I dropped by the local mall and tried out a pair. I was sold after five minutes of wearing them and went straight to work to put them to work. After installing the battery I turned them on without the cable connected and put them on. Ah, quiet – Even the high pitch whine of the server fans was reduced by 90%. I was able to play some background music at a very low level and I now I could hear no environmental noise what so ever. I was still feeling guilty about spending $300; however I fell ill on Friday and had to be hospitalized. I was placed in a room that was right next to the nurse’s station (great for service, awful for noise levels). Luckily I had brought along my Zune and my QC15′s. I spent most of my three day hospital stay listening to E-Books in blissful silence. No bells, whistles, intercom pages, visitors talking, next door neighbors coughing, etc. Needless to say, it’s the best $300 I have ever spent.

Some Negative
Thats biggest regret for me as i am a audiophile and like to listen muzik all the time. You have to take them off every 10 min. Your ears become so hot. Perhaps lack of ventilation. I guess this is not meant for regular use.

I stand by my initial assessment – sound quality is about equivalent to a typical fifty-buck set you might buy at your local audio store. Not terrible, not great, not memorable at all. There are two settings: hi and lo. Hi is good for aircraft apparently, providing volume boost and a pushy bass that would easily overwhelm most jet engine noise. Lo is easier on the ear (especially for older people) and yet I find myself strangely addicted to the unnatural bass… Accoustic feedback through the cheap casing material is probably to blame for much of the audio mediocrity.
