I bought these several years ago for a noisy work environment. I have tried ear bud style headphones in the past, but no matter how expensive or high quality, buds always make my ears hurt. I then used Bose Triports for a few years, but they didn't help in a noisy office. Enter the Bose...
Read the full review →I use these with a UFlyMic when I fly noisy jet aircraft. The noise cancelation is a HUGE factor in reducing fatigue from all the noise in the cockpit. When I'm riding in the back of an airplane on the way to my next assignment, these are a treat for listening to music. When I get home from work,...

Past the costs which are high you have to look a the product itself. I've owned this product for about 18 months now and I have no breakage issues...
Read the full review →I travel a lot and these earphones are the best thing to wear on airplanes and riding on the amtrak. Wear them while working at home, they are really comfortable and do not stress the ears at all.
