Bose TriPort Consumer Headphones

Pros: Outstanding sound quality
Cons: For me, $125 is a lot to pay for headphones.

I’m working on a CD project, consisting of the best of two live festival recordings in June of 2007 and 2008. I did the 2007 recording sort of by accident, as the band before me recorded and the engineer and I cut a deal for him to stick around. ...

Pros: Bose replaced broken headphones at no charge, superb sound and comfort
Cons: Frame is somewhat flimsy and broke when removing them from my head

I picked these up for a sound class I took back in 2003 that required "good, ear covering" headphones thinking I'd use them for the few weeks the class ran and then pack them away somewhere. Whoaaaa baby, was I was wrong about that! These quickly ...

Pros: Superior sound quality too good for words.
Cons: Headphones become too uncomfortable to wear for any real length of time.

Because I have small children, I have to watch movies after they've gone to sleep. I also have to wear headphones so I don't wake them up. Being a snob for letterbox formatted movies, one can imagine my desire for superior sound to go with it. I was ...

Pros: Bass, Clear Rich sound, does good job blocking noise
Cons: I havent seen them in orange

I just purchased a pair of the Triports and when I finally got them I plugged them into my laptop. The results were absoluteley AMAZING! Even the manual tells you not to turn on any artificial bass boost, since they do a great job at providing rich deep ...

Pros: Good sound, excellent bass, good clarity, lightweight and portable
Cons: Very sensitive treble and clarity picks out poor recordings or MP3 compressions. Expensive.

Comfort Simply - Amazing. They fit so nicely, warm and I can wear them for hours without feeling I need to get them off. Infact they become transparent, and forget they are there. I would say these are the most comfortable pair of cans I've ...

Pros: Light-Weight, Comfortable, Stylish
Cons: Sound can be better for the price. The Price

Before I start my review I would like you to know that I try not to focus on the features, capabilities, etc. of the object I am reviewing since it can be readily found in other reviews or in the details tab of the object. For example, if I review a ...

Pros: Full range sound, light, very well made
Cons: Tight on my head, unconfortable after hour our or so

For many years I had enjoyed Koss, Sony and Stax headphones, then I stuck with Sony for a while since their studio monitors where light, comfortable and sounded "right". I tried Sennheisers, AKGs, Bang and Olufsen's and only the Sony's endured. I ...

Pros: Fit and finish, sturdy, sound is OK
Cons: Price to quality ratio is too high. Lousy cord. Made in China

I bought these a few months ago. They sound OK, but I'm not overly impressed with them. They have a good feel to them, and the pads are nice and soft. The sound though leaves something to be desired, I feel. I consider myself a Hi-Fi nut, and own and ...

Pros: Great style, comfortable, isolate some sounds
Cons: Questionable build quality, distorted/bassy sound, not a very good value, utterly trounced by lesser-known-brand headphones

I have to give a disclaimer: I don't actually own a Triport, but I've listened to them extensively through friends, store fronts, etc. Therefore, I'm a little qualified to say that these headphones are good...to an extent. Let me explain. Bose has ...

Pros: Good bass, lightweight, good sound qulity all around
Cons: Mid high sounds bad without EQ

I recenetly picked up a pair of the Bose Tri port's. I have to say, they are probably the best headphones I have ever used. I also have pair of quietcomfert 2's, and I think this has better sound quility. The Quietcomfert's have better bass, but ...

Pros: Amazing sound, comfort. Bose has a great warrantee policy.
Cons: Breaks too easily

When I first bought my Bose TriPort headphones, I was so thrilled to be privileged enough to listen to music in the way it was meant to be listened to. Sheer perfection of sound. Amazing comfort on the ears, and ability to trap yourself in a world of ...

Pros: Great sound. No noise gets in to disrupt the music
Cons: Construction is good except at the band to speaker connection

I've got ears like an elephant. Big and floppy. I tried buds. No luck. They just fall out. Over the ear. Not to bad, but still the sound suffers. Then I found the Bose Triport. Kinda big. Kinda bulky. Kinda fragile? We all have seen the ...

Pros: Comfortable On Head. Good for acoustic music. Good return policy.
Cons: Very distant sound. Distortion. Price.

I got a pair of these headphones at best buy last weekend, to use with my new Creative Zen Micro. I really was expecting more for the price tag. The phones make good natural tones, pretty decent bass response at low volumes, and ok highs. The sound ...

Pros: Excellent sound reproduction Ergonomic and Comfortable earcup design
Cons: Badly designed adjustment assembly Badly designed wiring

I'm sure everyone has at one point frowned at the ubiquitous label - "Made in China" that appears on practically everything you own. Sometimes even if there may be nothing wrong with it (or may ever go wrong). On this particular occasion I was amused and ...

Pros: Comfort and good, natural sound.
Cons: I hear some hiss on some recordings.

I didn't spend a lot of time shopping and comparing headphones but did read up on available models, mostly to narrow the down the field in terms of features, price point, etc. Here's what I decided I was looking for: 1)clean, natural, and unaffected ...
