Bose Over Ear Headphones Models

I have used the Bose over the head models and several in the ear models by various manufacturers. This 1000m3 is the best on my opinion. Audio is A , not A , however it sounds great. The Noise cancelling is the best I have seen. If you fly and you want great audio and the best noise control these are the go to phones.

I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.

The design and features of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones are an improvement from the previous models. These headphones are modern, sleek, and aesthetically pleasing. The headphones are lightweight and portable, so it's comfortable to wear for long periods of time. As a graduate student, I rely on the noise cancellation feature of my headphones so I can study in any environment. I mainly use the Quiet mode when I am in loud environments like a coffee shop, but I am able to navigate to the other two modes with ease when needed. I especially enjoy the immersive audio mode when I am listening to music or watching videos/movies on my phone or laptop. It truly has a long lasting battery life compared to the QC 35 or 45. With the Bose Music app, pairing the headphones with devices and making adjustments is easy. The call quality is quite clear with no voice distortions. The only thing I had to get used to was swiping along the volume strip to control the volume as there is no physical button like the previous models. Based on the design, sound quality, functionality, and features of the Ultra headphones, I would highly recommend this pair of Bose headphones.

Aesthetics: 5/5 Sound Quality: 4.5/5 Comfort: 4/5 Sustainability: 4.5/5 Awesome looking, great sounding headphones. Sound quality is close to higher end models — probably the best you could expect for this style and price point. Very comfortable when first put on. Somewhat less comfortable, though still pretty good, after a couple hours of use. I attribute this drop in comfort to a smaller ear cup size and less padding than larger over-the-ear models. Probably an inevitable trade off in trying to make a smaller, less bulky product. Like the use of fsc wood and recycled aluminum, both in terms of style and sustainability. The headphones definitely appear to have some plastic/synthetic materials too though (headband cover, ear pads, etc.). The HOM website says they use some recycled plastic/silicone, which is okay-ish but comes with its own set of environmental and social issues. Hopefully they will eventually find a way to entirely eliminate plastics/synthetics from their products. Another thing that could be improved upon in terms of sustainability is the battery. There should ideally be a way to easily replace and recycle it when it eventually wears out. For that matter, it would be great if HOM would take back all its products at the end of their life and recycle all the components to the extent possible. Aluminum, steel and batteries can be recycled indefinitely. All in all, a solid effort to make a quality, eco friendlier product.

My previous headphones were in-ear models that blocked out all sounds. Couldn't hear bikes or cars coming from behind me. Feel safer being able to do that with these headphones. Also better around the house on calls that I can hear my wife and kids to let them know I'm tied up.Only downside is if you are a true audophile. The sound reproduction isn't as good via the bone conduction vs traditional in/over ear headphones. But for listening to music while running or taking calls, the sound quality is more than adequate.
