Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones are a rip-off
August 5thWant some nice headphones, but don’t want to feel like a sucker? Check out these Denon AH-D1000K cans. They’re amazingly comfortable and provide a MUCH better sound. Seriously.
I’m pretty sure “noise cancellation technology” isn’t worth $250 to the average iPod owner. Check out this review at headphone.com for a more qualified opinion than mine.

I grabbed some Bose triports for $125 and even at full price ($150ish) I would still be satisfied. Those headphones look pretty sweet though.

Not only are they expensive, after four years the pair I own are starting to physically deteriorate. The sound quality is excellent, as is the noise canceling. I used these in an office cubicle environment and later in a computer room, and the performance on my iPod is outstanding. But at this point the plastic upright on each earphone has broken and needs to be held together with wire ties, and the rubber cover on one of the ear pieces has worn through. Granted, I use them almost every day, but they don’t see rough use – and this isn’t the type of endurance I’d expect from a $300 product. The two year warranty isn’t long enough to address these issues.
