 Does not even approach the Bose QC2 in terms of sound quality January 6, 2009
Dan Eppinger (Danbury, Connecticut)

After owning the Bose QC2's for about two years, I decided to spring for the Audio Technicas. I did so because I wanted another pair of headphones that I could keep in my car, which were not that expensive.
Yes, The Audio Technica cans seem sturdier than the Bose. However, they are definitely less comfortable.
Noise reduction seems just as good as QC2's.
Now for the reason that one buys headphones: The Sound
The Audio Technicas don't even come close! The bass is muddy and the highs are brittle. After doing about an hour's worth of comparison at home, utilizing different genres of music, i.e. Country, Jazz, and Classical, I rededicated myself to the QC2's. I used an IPOD Touch as the music source.
I am a musician, and am very particular about sound. The balance of the AT's just isn't there.
I agree with others that call the AT a good compromise alternative to the Bose. The key word here is "compromise." They cost less than 1/3 the price and sound pretty decent....but much inferior to the Bose. The only headphones that approach the Bose at this price point (IMHO) are the Sennheiser 595's and they are not noise cancelling and too bulky to bring with me. If you love your music, spring for the Bose QC2's.
 Everything they advertise January 6, 2009

I looked at several different Noise Cancelling Headphones before choosing the Audio-Technica brand. Most noise cancelling headphones work for steady rumbling noises (such as jet engine noise), but have a more difficult time with ambient noises (such as office or home background noises). These work great for blocking the home noises and allowing me to work uninterupted. I have not yet tried them on a airplane, but I expect they will perform well. They are everything they advertise on their website. In addition, they come with a nice carrying case which fits nicely in a briefcase.
great product January 6, 2009

It is a great product. I bought at as a gift for my husband. He loves it, and will not travel without it.
Headphone review January 6, 2009
Book Worm (Hockley, TX USA)
Good product for the price. Bleeds a little but not much. Not as good as Bose but they are 1/3 the price. My grandson is very happy with them.
Really like these headphones! January 6, 2009
JimmyC (Greenville, SC)
This is the first noise cancelling headphones I have owned, so I really have nothing to compare them to. However I do like the sound qualty from them, the bass response is pretty good and the highs are crisp and clean. Mid range and vocals come through clear. The best part is the noise cancelling or as I like to call it wife cancelling. The only negative thing about these is if you turn on the N.C. with out music you get a faint humming or buzzing sound.
