Great Bose sound, fragile construction.

These headphones are very lightweight for their size, but this comes at the cost of being easily damaged if you aren't careful, especially when using an MP3 player at the gym. The sound is well balanced and clean as you would expect from Bose without either highs or lows dominant over the other. I love them but then I'm also careful.

Nice headphones, but not too comfortable but it's pricey

These are a decent pair of headphones. The sound quality is much better than average, as you would expect from a BOSE, but I wouldn't say that these are very comfortable headphones because they fit a little too tight. They are adjustable in terms of fitting them over your ears, but there isn't a way to make them fit less snugly. They are lightweight, though. There are no volume controls on this pair

I don't like wearing these for more than 30 minutes or an hour because it feels like I need to give my ears 'a rest.' Circuit City allows you to try on a pair so look for the them and see what you think. They also have an 'on-ear' version as well. This model is referred to as the 'around-ear' model.

Great quality sound, bad design...

I had one for about 2 years and it was the best headphones I ever put my money into. It captures the deep bass that many headphones don't do and it sound better than some of the noise cancel headphones I came across. Which is great because I don't have tobuy batteries for it.

Fits comfortably although a bit big. The problem is the durability. It seems the plastic headband could break very easily which what happen to my headphones. Just like any electronics, if you take good care of it enough, it shouldlast.

Pros: Great quality sound, fits comfortably but might be a bit big for some people.
Cons: Durability, price(but this is debatable/or how you look at it because I believe the quality of the sound you get out of this is worth it but not so much forits fragile design.)
