Bose QuietComfort 2 noise canceling headphones are generally considered the standard to beat, but they're big and bulky. If you seek something smaller and lighter, Bose has brought out the QuickComfort 3 headphones - which are still large but small for true noise canceling headphones. The question is, are they as good - and why has the price gone up?
Want something even smaller and lighter? Bose's in-ear TriPort IE headphones don't offer noise cancellation nor do they fit tightly enough for noise isolation - will they suit listeners who don't usually like ear buds and canal phones?
