- codex_irl 14y agoare you happy with the construction quality? I was originally leaning towards a pair of Bose but was a little put off by some of the Amazon reviewers who complained that they felt a little flimsy & that they are a little tight fitting.
- mapt 14y agoBose inspires an active hate-dom in the audiophile community for manipulative sales tactics (they disallow A/B comparison as a stipulation of retail distributorship, for example), units reliably over-priced by a significant margin versus competitors, and spending so much on marketing its R&D and so little on its R&D.
- apgwoz 14y agoI have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 which I've had for quite some time. Comfortable as hell--can wear them all day. The only big problem is the AAA battery that they require. When the juice runs out, no more sound, which sucks.
- codex_irl 14y agoFor me, the battery issue is a deal-breaker, I have a Logitech "darkfield" bluetooth mouse & the thing goes through 1 AA battery every 3-ish days (heavy usage) which drives me a little nuts sometimes...two devices to feed with batteries is to much. Good to hear that they are comfortable to wear all day though!
- kayman 14y agoWith the Bose, the battery drains if you keep forgetting to turn the button on your headphones off. Now its a habit to turn off my bose when i'm not using it.
- kayman 14y ago+1 for Bose Quiet Comfrot. The AAA battery requirement sucks, but it's a small price to pay for sound proof, comfort and solid construction.
