Bose - QuietComfort 2 Consumer Headphones Review

I love these headphones!!!!  I use them on the plane, in the gym, in my car, at my computer, and plug them in to my flat screen.  Wonderful sound, or glorious silence at the flick of a switch.  I can't even think of a down side to them other than they're a bit on the spendy side. 

One of my favorite aspects of these head phones is the noise reduction feature.  Glorious white noise, that while it won't block out everything, quiets the noise considerably from the screaming little ones on a crowded airplane you were lucky enough to get seated next to, and can all but erase the constant drone of jet engines.  For the sound aspect, you need to be plugged into whatever you wish to listen to as they aren't wireless, but for noise reduction, all you need to do is flick the switch on the side of your headphones and you needn't be plugged into anything. 

The sound quality is superb, comes with adapters for virtually any type of inflight entertainment system, and works with all of your home entertainment or communication devices, (i.e. phone, ipod, computer, etc).  While the headphones compact nicely, the case that comes with the headphones is a bit larger than neccessary, but does make it easy to carry your accessories for the headphones.  The upside to this, is you could probably fit other things, (like an Ipod), into this case for more secure travel as it is quite sturdy and well made.
