I would not usually buy this style of headphones for myself, I usually prefer the headphones that loop round the ear so they stay in place. So when I got these headphones as a gift I was a little bit unsure as to whether they would be useful or not.

The main concern when trying out a new pair of headphones is how good the sound quality is. Let me tell you the quality of the sound produced by these headphones certainly lives up to the Bose name. It is superb, at high volumes there is little 'hiss' which is impressive. When using this set of headphones in a busy street or area background noise is almost completely eliminated which is a plus point.

As a runner i get annoyed when my headphones continually fall out when running, why i prefer wrap round the ear style, however this set of head phones does a great job of staying in the ear even when the are exerted to some extreme forces.

Over all i believe that these bose headphones are a great set of headphones and would recommend them to anybody
