Now you have a choice.
Most people who purchase Bose products appreciate the pleasure
that listening to music undisturbed can bring. If you sometimes find
that distractions prevent you from enjoying your music as you'd like,
why not consider QuietComfbrt® headphones from Bose? Choose
QuietComfort 2 headphones for an around-ear style or the
new QuietComfort 3 headphones if you prefer a smaller,
on-ear alternative.
With
either, you'll enjoy an unmatched combination of quality
audio performance, acclaimed noise reduction technology and
lightweight, comfortable fit. And you'll experience a unique
listening environment that no other headphones can offer.
Acclaimed noise reduction - and Bose quality sound.
Unwanted noise is everywhere. The engine roar inside an airplane
cabin. The bustle of the city. The distractions in the office. QC2
and QC3 headphones help them fade softly into the background -
all at the flick of a switch. And because they're so comfortable,
you may even forget you're wearing them.

Our QC™ headphones were designed primarily for airplane travelers.
Owners soon started telling us how much they enjoy using them in
other places to listen to music or work on their computers -whether
on the go, at home or in the office. QuietComfort® headphones
incorporate patented technology that electronically identifies
unwanted noise and fades it into the background, while faithfully
preserving the music, movie dialogue or tranquility you desire.
Here's what Technologyreview.com had to say
about Ge2 headphones:
"It's as if someone...found the volume control for
the world,;and turned it way, way, down."
Hear the difference Bose® technology makes.
We began researching noise reduction more than 25 years ago. Now,
our decades of research and experience combine with our proprietary
technologies in these advanced noise reducing headphones from
Bose. Experience them for yourself.
Smaller OC3 headphones OC2 headphones
rest on your ears. surround your ears.
Each folds flat for easy storage in its slim carrying case.
