In the past few years, I've "test drove" the QuietComfort 2 and the QuietComfort 3 headphones... they are fairly good at noise cancellation, but the sound quality and the price are horrendous.

I highly recomend also ordering the small soft sleeves - they don't come with the earphones, but you can buy a pack of 5 sets for a few bucks from Shure. For some reason, most people fit the smalls - the rest are too big. But the soft black rubber/plastic ones are the best for sound quality and fit.]]>Oct 7th 2006 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/The sound of these earphones is comparable to professional studio monitors.

I'm totally curious about these Bose ones though...]]>Oct 8th 2006 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Apr 25th 2007 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
Seriously, the E2C's are definitely worth the $70. Like I said, some complain of a "lack of bass", but they just need to get a better fit. If the fit isn't good, air pressure can escape, and thus that big wave of bass dissipates out of your ear rather than being driven inwards. Get the soft plastic sleeves and you'll see the difference. I listen to a lot of techno and hard rock, and I love bass, and these earphones definitely produce it. Sure you could spend some more on the E4Cs or whatever, and they'll sound a little better in all areas, but for a relatively inexpensive set of high-quality buds, these are a good pair.]]>Oct 8th 2006 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
Oh and the disses are silly. For one thing no one can ever agree on what they don't like about Bose. I have heard different versions of the same complaint "all highs no lows" "no highs no lows" "no highs all lows" etc. no one on the net can ever agree what they don't like about Bose. So try something other than a tag-line please :) And heck just try them out compare them to others and give your reasons why you like/dislike them. And if you dislike them let us know why the other headphones sounded better. Sound cool :)]]>Oct 8th 2006 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
Thanks for everyones input. I think I'm going to purchase the E2C instead of the E4C to save some money. As long as they better than the ipod standard earbuds. Has Anyone ever tried the Sony Ex91Lp?

Dumbass - the whole point of inner earphones are that they ARE sealed, if not there is no bass and terrible sound quality!]]>Oct 8th 2006 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
It's not like you'll get decent full-range from any other comparable speaker.]]>Oct 8th 2006 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
Surely you jest. Go to any A/V forum and ask. You'll find "overpriced, poor sound, and low quality components" to be the answer. Go to any custom A/V installer, read any A/V magazine - they'll tell you the same thing.

I've owned Shure E3s and E5s. These are not as clearly detailed, but a WHOLE lot cheaper and sound good enough. And I actually like the fact that they're not totally noise blocking. Makes them more comfortable, easier to insert & remove, and safer to walk around in. Higher on the microphonics (cord noise from bumping into your body) though.]]>Oct 8th 2006 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
haha I have a pair of Etymotice Er6i's and I would HIGHLY recommend them over both the Sure E2C's. Also, check out Ultimate-Ears offerings.

I'm waiting for these bitches to see if Blose turned the company around... doubt it :(]]>Oct 8th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/I'm curious because I'm not relaly an audiophile at all. I have a pair of Grado SR60's at home and they are nice, but I find I use my stock iPod earbuds more just because they travel better. But I realy can't tell the difference in sound quality aside from the Grado's having more bass because they are bigger. ]]>Oct 8th 2006 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 8th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/
Also, I agree with 128- bit being too low for good headphones, but I listen to 192 (or higher if I can find it) and it definitely sounds better when I use high quality headphones. Besides, lossless takes up too much space!]]>Oct 9th 2006 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/

Re: Bose arguments.

Ive read and looked through hours of arguments for and against Bose products being rubbish and very good, the best the worst etc.

With having seen all the evidence in arguments on Intellexual.net etc. ive found most of the arguments are contradictory. One bad thing will said, but later on something else will contradict it.

Example, one person will argue (intellexual.net being one of them) that these speakers are useless and horribly over priced, however later on yoy realise that these Bose speakers where actually tested against something thousands of pounds/dollars more expensive, thus rendering the argumant completely rubbish.

Other examples are testing an older Bose product (2-3 years) against something new that came out within the last few months. Again, old technology versus new technology. Of course other companies are going to have caught up in time.

What I do is I use test equipment, I go to a Hi-Fi store and I listen to systems where are cheaper, then I listen to the systems that I will consider buying, back to back, then I will listen to a few high end speakers to be able to guage price vs quality.

Then I take each product in turn and I use test equipment for all the response curves, impedance, wattage etc. and I then advise the Hi-Fi store on what I found so that they can advise customers properly on which system/speaker/headphone does what.

I have found that Bose systems are good. What people don't normally see is what goes on inside the system. There are PsychoAcoustics as mentioned before, the wave guide technology does work and is not an immitation of the other technology being used, it is just a different way of doing things. There are complex balancing electronics within some systems that are not found in other systems for either the same price or more. The magnets in the cones are 10x stronger than a lot of other systems I have seen which is what gives the smaller cones a 'bigger' sound. I could go on as im sure a lot of other people could.

I am not defending Bose or putting them down, but from what ive seen from tests (note, not what ive heard) they are a good system compared to other similarly priced systems. Their direct/reflecting technology works surprisingly well and their bass and highs cetainly do exist (Acoustimass has been from 35 hertz to 255 hertz, their tweeters go up to 21 KHz and why anyone needs speakers that can go higher I do not know as no one can hear about 19.5 KHz anyway - what you gonna do, pee off the local bat population???)

Bose do things differently that's all. If you like the sound then buy it, if you want something that does it differently then go and buy from B&O (please don't go down that argument route either) Shure, Sennheiser, B&W or whoever, they are all good in their own respect.

Jeez did I really write all that?

Oh and a virtual fiver to the first person that says I don't know what Im talking about. Ive seen it (note again, seen not heard) for myself, so im not going to bother taking one Iota of a note of what you go on about in defense.]]>Oct 15th 2006 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-ie-in-ear-headphones-revealed/Oct 19th 2006 7:26AM
