    I'll say that the Bose active noise cancellation is among the best I've ever seen....even moreso than my Sennheiser buds that were twice as expensive. For as much as I travel, giving up audiophile quality on a 6-14hr flight is worth not hearing engine noise and having babies and loudtalkers muted.

    I am lucky, though, that I can afford multiple pair of headphones that are >$200.

    Id choose any jbl product over bose anyday. Jbl certaintly isnt the best but they make decent stuff. All that said i have a shitty bose system in my truck but the air conditioned seats were more important than sound quality to me.

    The noise cancellation on them is pretty damn good. Can't hear the music at the gym at all. And that shit would make me stop going.

    Free stuff? I don't even want it if it's free and I don't even know what we're talking about.

    I added another Sonos speaker out on my deck last week. I now have one system with four speakers in three rooms and each room can play its own music, or it can play the same in all rooms. Very cool. And the audio quality is excellent.

    Do you like yours?

    We absolutely love ours. Family uses them everyday. Brought one outside for when we are in the backyard. They just sound amazing. Can’t wait to get more.

    I have two ears, but multiple scenarios and utilization factors. You have only two feet...how many pair of shoes do you own? ;)

    I own one pair 'cause I ain't no alien, although I've been accused by some of my victims of being, err strike that, associates of being akin to out of this world.

    Aha, suspicion confirmed, yet another creepy alien with more than two ears.

    I owned some Bose that were great. Wanted to upgrade and got a pricy pair of Bang & Olfsen headphones. Do not like them at all. Groovy looking, but a pain to use.

    I like old school over-ear. What would you recommend?
