Re: BOSE noise cancelling headphones

[Guest guest]

I wear Bose noise cancelling earphones all day at work. They are very comfortable since they mostly rest on top of your head with minimal sideways pressure. You want the Quietcomfort 15 model (bigger and $50 less) since it wraps around the ear and reduces noise better. Sleeping in earphones would be tough but it sounds like you already do that.

They reduce a lot of the noise, but I wear Hearos Ultimate Softness Series earplugs inside them, also comfortable. One of my co-workers clears their throat quite loudly, so I have to play brown noise on the headphones. The earplugs prevent hearing damage and make the brown noise quiet enough for sleep I’d say.

My day is virtually trigger-free unless I have to talk to someone.

Hope this helps,

So I've known about them for some time, but have been trying other (less expensive) options. Does anyone on here use them? Just how quiet are they? I don't need the fancy techie features it comes with - I have no intention of necessarily using them to listen to music or take calls. I just need to be able to wear them around the house and to sleep. Also, I noticed there's two different kinds, ones are a bit smaller and $50 more. Does anyone recommend one type over another?Thanks!

Sounds great, thanks ! I just need to be able to fall asleep, for the most

part, and I can do that on my back.... but how durable are they? Would the

headphones break if I were to toss and turn with them on at night?

Did you get your Bose headphones and the Heros earplugs at a specific store, or

did you find them online?

Thanks! It does help.

Their 30 day return policy says “any reasonâ€, if that helps. Bose is the

same price everywhere †" no discounts except shipping and taxes. Hearos are at

Walgreens or Amazon.

I bought these and took them back. It felt like my brain was being sucked out of

my ears! Weird!

I have these, the less expensive larger ones. They work great for intense

situations. I can handle all the noise in an airplane by using them alone or

with listening to music with them. I would give them a try.

I have the Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling earphones. They are made for listening to music while flying, and that's what they do the best. They block out the roar of the airplane engine so you can hear your music clearly. As an added benefit, they take the edge off of screaming babies and other assorted annoying loud people who might be seated near you. They come in a nice hard case which I slip into my backpack next to my iPod. Now I get on the plane and retreat into my own little world of sounds that I have chosen. They are expensive, but worth it. I wouldn't travel without them.
