Bose Headphones - The Superior Choice

Bose headphones are manufactured and sold by Bose Corporation.

Bose headphones were the first headphones introduced with noise cancellation technology.

Since their first introduction in 1989, Bose Headphones have significantly advanced in their ability to enhance the music or audio experience.

The technology employed in Bose headphones is superior to almost all the other headphones in the market. This is the reason they are also used by military and aviation across the world.

In fact, it was the aviation environment that propelled Dr. Bose to develop the headset. He came up with the idea of developing better headphones when he could not enjoy the audio on a flight to Europe in 1978.

The Bose Headphone range includes:

• 1989 Bose QuietComfort Headphones

Features of Bose Headphones

Bose headphones are typically:

• stylish in design
• come with noise cancellation technology
• single chord attachments
• better bass and treble
• increased battery life
• improved headband quality.
• give better frequency response at high bass also.

Overally, the Bose headphones are not only better is sound quality, the offer a comfort that many other headphones fail to deliver. Naturally, this superior quality comes at a slightly higher cost. However, Bose is making its way from the affordability of the elite, to offer a more street friendly range - and that includes price.

Most of the Bose Aviation headphone range can be upgraded as and when required. On long flight or in an extremely noisy environment, Bose Headphones are a 'quiet comfort luxury'.

Bose Military Range

Certain designs of Bose Headphones are not available to consumers; these are solely used by military. The Bose active noise reduction system is ideally suited for use in armored vehicles of the U.S. Army. The U.S. Air Force also uses Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones. The mititary prefer Bose headphones due to:

• At noise levels of 115dBA SPL, Bose headphones improve the speech intelligibility scores to 95%, as compared to 80% for other conventional headphones. This is due to the use of noise cancellation technology.
• At low frequencies, Bose headphones are far more effective in attenuating noise than passive noise reduction headsets.
• The Bose headsets are extremely comfortable to use and can be worn for long periods.
• The binaural talk-through feature allows crewmen to talk to each other directly, without removing their headsets, and while continuing to protect against loud noises.

Crtics of Bose headphones are mostly about their cost and the fact that some of the Bose headphones cannot work without power, unlike other headphones which work without batteries also. Recent Bose Headphones have rectified most of these claims.
