Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I first used these headphones I was thrilled. They were very comfortable and the noise cancelling was the absolute best. I was very happy and looking forward to the next flight about a month later. My wife had a set from another manufacturer but these were so superior I was going to buy her a pair as well. When I put them on for the second flight however, the on-off switch was intermittent and the right earphone was dead. I changed to a new battery and tried a different set of phones to see if the connection was at fault. Unfortunately after trying everything I had to conclude that it was my brand new $300.00 headphones that were at fault. They were always kept in their (very nice) case and never banged around or abused. I might have thought this pair was just a "lemon" but too many others have run into these sorts of hardware problems. This is not an acceptable failure rate for a $300.00 pair of earphones from a company with Bose's reputation. I would not buy them again and would advise that if you choose to do so, you might get lucky but you should be aware that it is a crap shoot.
