Excellent Sound- Amazing Quality

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones give excellent sound quality by electronically identifying and dramatically reducing noise while preserving music and movie acoustics. Both quasi compact and lightweight, you might forget you have a pair on. You have an option of fading background noise by simply turning the headphones on. With a flick of a switch, instantly outside noise levels decrease. The new generation of headphones is supposed to provide greater clarity of high frequency sounds, however, I can't quite notice this feature. But then again it might be something that only the "pro listeners" can hear- if there are such people...

I have owned a pair of the Quietcomfort headphones for more than a year now. They are absolutely amazing on international flights.

Pros:
- Sound is fantastic, bass reproduction is amazing.
- Needs one AAA battery. But it lasts for between 24 - 30 hrs of use so it's not bad.
- Noise cancellation works great; great cushioning.

Cons:
- Pricey
- Bulky to transport. Cant be substituted for "workout" phones.
- Too much insulation on the earpiece. My ears start to sweat if I wear constantly for more than a few of hrs.
- Not great to sleep in (on flights) to block noise.

If you compare the quiet Bose QuietComfort Headphones to the Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones there isn't much of a difference in sound- both perform equally well. However, the Sony pair is much cheaper.
