They feel pretty good even when worn for long periods at a time. Above all, they are comfortable: really lightweight and soft on the ears which was a huge relief compared to some of the HEAVY pairs that I've used before. The sound quality is flawless and the over-ear design seems to do a very good job of keeping out a lot of outside noise. I've tried for a while to found a good pair of over-ear headphones and have been consistently disappointed. The bose triports however, were just what I was looking for.
I have been using the Bose Triport headphones for several months. The Sennheisers were a great set with strong lower frequency bass definition, but seemed to reshape some mid range sounds. It seems that some of the earlier reported quality issues have been fixed. The difference between many high quality headphones is a matter of preference.
You don't have to crank it up to get a full, pleasing sound. The Triport maintains a great quality and clear definition throughout its full range. They are light weight and fit comfortably around the ear. They also block out a lot of external noise so you don't have to turn up the volume to overpower other sounds.I researched and over-analyzed before settling on the Bose Triport. Maybe it's just the shape of my head, but I can wear these for hours without discomfort.The Triport sounds good at low volume. I carry them in a laptop bag every day between the office and home and use them heavily.
The Bose Triport headphones are the most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever worn. I was a little nervous about my choice when I made the order, but now I am very pleased with my purchase. I have compared my Triport to some Sennheisers, and am pleased with the performance. Each seems to focus on different sound qualities.
Was delivered within 4 days of purchase and was exactly what I ordered. Bough this item for my son-in-law for Christmas and he loved it.
There is no dought that the Bose head phones are far superior the Ipods head phones. I have a Ipod and I was using the Ipod furnished product when I got the bose head phones.
The cups envelope my ears without scrunching them - just surrounding them with the music or audio I want to listen to. These are just - eh. The bass is deep - even with the volume cranked way up, I don't feel like either the treble or bass is cracking.They're not as trendy looking as the miniscule ear buds everyone wears these days - but for complete solitude in listening to an audio book, mowing the lawn while listening to music, or just tuning out white noise while listing to something relaxing, these are nice.My less than perfect rating is for the kinda cheesy-looking plastic and foamy headband. I know from their full-page print ads and infomercials that sound engineers and all kinds of research and rocket science goes into their audio equipment - but they seriously need to work with an award winning designer to come up with a better look. I can only review something as being a comfy fit for me. I am not an audiophile - I do not have the precision hearing of a bat so I can echo-locate my breakfast. I know some folks are far more particular and can hear nuances in sound that are apparently not within my range of hearing. If you have a mammoth head or large ears, these may not fit you as well as they fit me.
If so, they're not for you.Personally, I find the soft cups that pivot for the precise shape of my head to be very comfy. They're ok, but nothing to write home about in the appearance department. and the plastic components just look cheap. If they canned half their ad campaign and devoted some of that money to design, they could lower the price and these things would sell like hotcakes. This is why Sony & Apple do so well with their products - they work AND they are sexy to look at. I'd recommend trying a pair on - they are sold at fine electronic stores and they usually have a pair you can try on and listen to.First, I would try wearing them with no audio at all. It doesn't matter how good the sound is - when you spend this kind of money, it's nice to know you can enjoy looking at an item, too. If you're like me - this review is for you.Like shoes, it's hard to review something as a comfortable fit for everyone.
The headband is a magnet for dog hair (guess how I found that out). Do they bug you. Everyone's head and ears are designed differently. Just stand there for 5 minutes with these things on.
