I've never really had what I would call 'expensive' headphones before. £30 a pair was probably the most that I'd spent, but I knew that I wasn't really getting the best out of my music. I use headphones in one of two ways, either through an iPod or through my laptop and in either case I like to be completely immersed in the sound. I want to shut the world out and enjoy the detail of what it is that I'm listening to. I also want, if possible, to ensure that when I'm in public, I don't irritate anybody at the same time. These Bose on-ear headphones will set you back around £120. That's probably quite a lot of money to the average listener but given that it's not ...  Read the complete review

THE BASICS: Being a music lover and a commuter/terrace dweller is not always easy (mainly for those in your vicinity). Having neighbours who like to play their music very loudly (keeping me awake at night) and being the sort of person who finds myself tutting at fellow commuters when I can hear every word of what they're listening to, I didn't want to repeat these supposed 'crimes'!! Though retailing at £115 ish these were highly rated by Which? and being not as clunky as cheaper alternatives I decided to give these a bash. THE LOOK: As I've already said, many headphones offering this amount of sound-nulling tend to be very ...  Read the complete review

These headphones are simply fantastic and I have had them since christmas. I orginally tried them in the Apple store where they had all of their iPod's lined up with a Bose On-Ear pair of headphones. When I first tried them I just found them umbelivable. Never have I head such good quality, Apple's slogan for them is "Hear what you've been missing" and I really did. The quality really is fantastic and far better than any other pair of headphones that I have tried. The price may be the only factor that puts you off, but it shoudln't because I got these for £120 from the Apple store and have never regretted it since. The Bose On-Ear headphones even ...  Read the complete review

I bought this headphone at the Apple store , the same time I bought my iPhone 4. It was my wife who came up with the idea to buy a headphone. She knew my lifetime habit to hear music while doing my homework or studying until late. But since we have our lovely one years old daughter, I simply have to tolerate not to play music loudly or else it will wake the baby up. I don't like to use earphones because I can't stand the feeling of having something plugged in to my ear and also the awkward feeling of always adjusting the earpiece position. So the headphone idea seems to be a win win solution for everyone. I have to admit that never before in my life I have ...  Read the complete review

Bose has fantastic brand equity; unfortunately this often means brands stops innovating and start concerning themselves with profit margins. I am happy to report in particular instance this is simply not true, the product has an unmistakable feel of quality about it. The headphones come in a Bose carry case, which is a thoughtful consideration (it allows you to take your headphones anywhere without worrying about damage). The Headphones are light weight, but just heavy enough to be reassuring! The quality of plastic used in the construction is fantastic and the hinges feel sturdy. The design of the 'on ear' headphones is far superior to the ...  Read the complete review
