Advantages: Great sound quality, blocks out background noise Disadvantages: They are bulky to carry around
I personally believe they are great headphones as they do what they need to do, they cut out the background noise completely so your music is more clearer and better to listen to.
They also are good in helping other people not able to listen to what i am listening to so they are not noisy to others close by. This is due to the pads and this is good because it helps me listen to my music wherever i want.
The music quality is very high on these headphones ...

...bought these after purchasing the Bose Wave stereo unit, as I was warned I would ! Having appreciated all the benefits of the Wave, it seemed miserly to scrimp on the headphones when I wanted to listen in privacy. They do cut out extraneous external noise so all you hear is what you are trying to listen to. This is true when listening via an MP3 player, a normal hi-fi, a TV or the Wave system itself. The standard supplied jack plug is the small one ...

Advantages: brilliant quality, require few batteries Disadvantages: expensive
I have had these earphones for some time now and if i had to some them up in a word it would be superb! I often take them on public transport and the difference from normal earphones is amazing. They really do block all sound (whe you have your music on) and even if you don't have them plugged into a mp3 or cd player they still dull the ambient noise to a level at which you can sleep. So therefore they also make a great pair of ear plugs albeit rather ... ...large and they are rather bulky, however i rarely go anywhere without a rucksack and they easily fit into that and personally i think that for anything more than an hour they are worth having. You do have to put a battery in them but i think in several years i have only had to replace this battery twice, so that doesn't really pose a problem. One downside i feel is the cost. Luckily they were a gift, but if i had to purchase them myself i would think ...

Advantages: Excellent Noise Cancellation, Good Sound Quality Disadvantages: Rather Big, Bass notes not pronounciated
...tri-port on ear headphones, that Bose offer for a small bit more, these are clearly distinguishable.
The size of these headphones could be considered the only significant downside, as you do tend to look like a DJ, but the noise insulation more than makes up for it. These headphones make ideal companions for long journeys, but probably best left alone, when going on a beach, etc.
Another point to note, is the presence of small vents, which after ...
