Bose OE review

 

With a potent blend of quality products and what seems like an almost ubiquitous marketing campaign, Bose had managed to persuade thousands of people to spend large sums of money on the company's QuietComfort 3 and QuietComfort 2 noise-canceling...

The Bose OE headphones have a compact design, extra-comfortable cushy foam earpieces, full sound, and they fold up for compact storage in their included carrying case. Additionally, Bose offers a 30-day home trial.

While they're cheaper than Bose's noise-canceling models, they're still fairly pricey.

If you're looking for a good value in Bose headphones, the company's OE (On-Ear) models makes a strong case--even if they're not cheap.

Not without merit, but we'd like a bit more vigour and a bit more detail

Comfortable, light and fold-away portable; unflappable, balanced sound

Relatively short on detail; prone to noise through the frame

I have had this headphone for about 3 years.

 

would recommend to people investing in a pair of good headphones truly amazing pair of headphone.

great headphone would keep buying this headphone sound quality is amazing, takes a while for the speakers to break in,so you get the best quality, comfortable fit, cable is strong.

after a long time the ear cushions begin to deteriorate due to the leather, but are worth replacing ear cushion.
