Luxury means not having to hear other people talk, unless you actually want to and Bose's new QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones are the perfect way to do just that. They offer full-spectrum noise reduction, along with Bose's usual commitment to quality and performance, very much like their older models. Unlike those models, however, the QuietComfort 3 has a much smaller, sleeker headset design. In fact, they are nearly half the size of the QuietComfort 2!

This also means that, since I have the QC2, the QC3 users might be talking about the size of my headphones behind my back - and not in a good way. Fortunately, the Bose headphones work so well that I won't be able to hear them.

If you want to upgrade your pair, the new headphones are $349.

I'm sure that the Bose headphones are decent, but to any potential buyers out there, I would recommened shopping around a bit. Sennheiser makes very high quality (audiophile grade)audio products that beat Bose hands down, in both audio quality and value. I have been into audio equipment for quite a few years now, and Bose tends to have an overblown reputation for 'cutting edge' products, when in fact they are mediocre at best. As an example, my Definitive Technology speakers (2004TL's) are far and away better sounding, looking, and better performing than any speaker Bose has ever released, AND they cost less. Be wary of the built up reputation that Bose has developed, you are paying for the name, rather than the craftsmanship or the audio quality that they produce.
