Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones

[simongr]

They are just very bulky - probably no moreso than Bose. Also my ears get quite hot.

The bluetooth is great for me as I use them on the train mostly whilst watching tv/movies on the iPad.

I would prefer to use Jaybird Freedom but my previous set wouldnt fit my ears. I have Backbeat 906 as well but not only did they not really fit but the train noise was overpowering.

I have tried Shure and Ultimate ears but don't seem to get the noise blocking that others do.

I actually think I was planning to buy the bluetooth 450s but they only had the 550s at HKG and I had had quite a lot of wine on board...

Jimmy boy- I have the QC2 headphones and find they're very good, even on crying baby noise (I have one myself). Worth looking into further.

Went into Melbourne store enquiring
about replacement earpads, price quoted was $89 for the earpads.

Said thank you very much and moved onto ebay for $20.

Yes. I do Hope the Bose shop isn't complaining about the retailing slump or the move to online shopping, cause they certainly ain't doing anything to prevent the exodus!

I have just renovated my QC3's as well, new plugs and ear things reasonable on eBay for around twenty bucks.
