Bose Triport Stereo Headphone - Digital sound offers superior frequency response and accuracy. Most headphones can't reproduce all those sounds. Bose has developed a headphone that can deliver all those sounds and you can use it at home or with your portable stereo or MP3 player. Bose delivers excellent sound and Triport technology offers no compromise in comfort and quality whether you're listening indoors or outdoors. Carrying bag (included) is a convenient way to carry your headphones wherever you go Overall dimensions - 7.5H x 6W Ear cushion outside dimensions - 3.8H x 2.9W Weight with cable - 5 Ounces Color - Blue Grey

Bose's most affordable headphones are designed to prove that high-performance sound can come in a lightweight package (just five-ounces, including ear cords). The Bose TriPort glacier-blue headphones deliver the full spectrum of your music, whether you're plugged into a computer or on the go with a portable media player. Their ergonomic design keeps them remarkably comfortable and lightweight, even as proprietary Bose headphone technology conveys the rich acoustical landscape of your music.

Bose's acoustic equalization techniques aim to deliver the rich nuances of your music--details that conventional headphones often lose. The TriPort headphone technology faithfully reproduces deep, full low notes without requiring the artificial bass-boost function found on many portable players.

Based on the results of decades of audio research and headphone acoustical study, Bose identified ways in which normal listener sound perception changes when people wear headphones. That led to the development of Bose's proprietary acoustic equalization techniques, which have fine-tuned the frequency response of the TriPort headphones for exceptional performance.

The headphones' soft ear cushions gently fit around your ear for comfortable listening. A thin, adjustable headband offers several head-size settings, and the earcups swivel for a better fit. The headphones include a generous, five-foot extension cable and a handy carrying pouch.

I've tried for a while to found a good pair of over-ear headphones and have been consistently disappointed. The bose triports however, were just what I was looking for. Above all, they are comfortable: really lightweight and soft on the ears which was a huge relief compared to some of the HEAVY pairs that I've used before. They feel pretty good even when worn for long periods at a time. The sound quality is flawless and the over-ear design seems to do a very good job of keeping out a lot of outside noise.

I have been using the Bose Triport headphones for several months. I carry them in a laptop bag every day between the office and home and use them heavily. It seems that some of the earlier reported quality issues have been fixed.

I have compared my Triport to some Sennheisers, and am pleased with the performance. The difference between many high quality headphones is a matter of preference. Each seems to focus on different sound qualities. The Sennheisers were a great set with strong lower frequency bass definition, but seemed to reshape some mid range sounds. The Triport maintains a great quality and clear definition throughout its full range.

The Bose Triport headphones are the most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever worn. They are light weight and fit comfortably around the ear. Maybe it's just the shape of my head, but I can wear these for hours without discomfort.

The Triport sounds good at low volume. You don't have to crank it up to get a full, pleasing sound. They also block out a lot of external noise so you don't have to turn up the volume to overpower other sounds.

I researched and over-analyzed before settling on the Bose Triport. I was a little nervous about my choice when I made the order, but now I am very pleased with my purchase.

Bough this item for my son-in-law for Christmas and he loved it. Was delivered within 4 days of purchase and was exactly what I ordered.

I have a Ipod and I was using the Ipod furnished product when I got the bose head phones. There is no dought that the Bose head phones are far superior the Ipods head phones.

I am not an audiophile - I do not have the precision hearing of a bat so I can echo-locate my breakfast. I know some folks are far more particular and can hear nuances in sound that are apparently not within my range of hearing. If you're like me - this review is for you.

Like shoes, it's hard to review something as a comfortable fit for everyone. I can only review something as being a comfy fit for me. Everyone's head and ears are designed differently. If you have a mammoth head or large ears, these may not fit you as well as they fit me. I'd recommend trying a pair on - they are sold at fine electronic stores and they usually have a pair you can try on and listen to.

First, I would try wearing them with no audio at all. Just stand there for 5 minutes with these things on. Do they bug you? If so, they're not for you.

Personally, I find the soft cups that pivot for the precise shape of my head to be very comfy. The cups envelope my ears without scrunching them - just surrounding them with the music or audio I want to listen to. The bass is deep - even with the volume cranked way up, I don't feel like either the treble or bass is cracking.

They're not as trendy looking as the miniscule ear buds everyone wears these days - but for complete solitude in listening to an audio book, mowing the lawn while listening to music, or just tuning out white noise while listing to something relaxing, these are nice.

My less than perfect rating is for the kinda cheesy-looking plastic and foamy headband. The headband is a magnet for dog hair (guess how I found that out?) and the plastic components just look cheap. It doesn't matter how good the sound is - when you spend this kind of money, it's nice to know you can enjoy looking at an item, too. This is why Sony & Apple do so well with their products - they work AND they are sexy to look at. These are just - eh. They're ok, but nothing to write home about in the appearance department. I know from their full-page print ads and infomercials that sound engineers and all kinds of research and rocket science goes into their audio equipment - but they seriously need to work with an award winning designer to come up with a better look. If they canned half their ad campaign and devoted some of that money to design, they could lower the price and these things would sell like hotcakes.
