I’m a lover of music, it drives away my depression. You could take my home, my clothes, and everything I won, but I’ll cut someone about my melodies, harmonies, and chord changes. Take away all I have and a song will remain in my heart, a hum, a whisper, or a shout will always escape me. So imagine my absolute delight when a client who I write for bought me a pair of Bose QuietComfort headphones, I suppose as a bonus. I get paid to review items on a regular basis, so I figured I’d say thank you, take the headphones, and see how they worked.
Talk about top quality, and for a whopping price of $330 after taxes, I’m sure my client must own his own pair. The sound from these headphones is so clean and crisp, and there’s a function on them that has noise-canceling circuitry and I must say it works very well, but without it, like most Bose headphone, the ear-cups have soft cushions that successfully seal off noisy outer environments from my ears. When I turned on the noise cancellation, the noise was drowned out even further. This is a plus for me when I’m working (writing) and just want to listen to my music and no other distractions to take up my time.
The major thing I loved about the Bose QuietComfort earphones is that the bass is so distinguished. With the cushioned ear-cups, I felt like I was in a sound-proof room listening to my favorite musical artists performing just for me. For every con there is a pro with these headphones, but I list a few of the cons as well. These headphones have a life-line of about 35 hours. When the batteries in the headphones go out, your musically experience is over. But don’t fret; you can pick up two AAA batteries that fit in one of the headphones. I used them while traveling from Ohio to Atlanta and they played beautifully with no problems. I did, however, have to get new AAA batteries before I left to come back home, but what a long time to wallow in silence, bordering on the edge of depression, huh?
It’s up to you whether you’d like to pay over $300 dollars for a pair of headphones. To speak for myself (that’s why I wrote this review), the earphones do irritate my ears after wearing them longer than an hour, but that- and the retail price- are small amounts to pay if you might listen to or write music for a living, or need to distinguish the sounds you’re hearing. Hey, if you just want it for pleasure, to drive away all of your depression, it’s well worth it.
Until the next post, much love, peace, and medicated hair grease.
