It's all so quiet...shhhh....shhhh

My new Bose QuietComfort 3 headphones have arrived! Sound quality is fantastic. It has great clarity and udles of bass. The noise canceling also does a great job of dumbing down most ambient noise. As with all noise canceling headphones that I have used, it doesn't cut any sharp or clanging noise. A clap of a hand is easily audible (if slightly quieter) while the drone of a car is almost completely gone.

I have one complaint. It does not work without the noise canceling on. This means that if the battery is drained the headphones no longer work and so you must carry the charger with you. A carry case is included which fits all of the necessary components and the charger plugs straight into the power socket and negates the need for extra wires.

I am happy with them and am looking forward to testing them out on a flight. I find that the loud in-flight humming of a plane is the best test for noise cancellation tech. That sounds like a great excuse to go away for a weekend ;)
