New headphones (pictures attached)

[ThinkPad]

After doing my research, I decided to go for the Bose QuietComfort 2 Noise Canceling headphones, I have never used a noise canceling device, but I do a lot of travel, so I wanted to try it out.

I purchased these used, because I did not feel like paying the $300+ retail on a new price. Got it for about 1/3rd the price and I must say these are probably the best headphones I’ve ever used. Music has never sounded better. Even without audio input, the noise canceling device is amazing
I am currently listening to the theme from 'Zorba the Greek' and for those who do not know, it’s an instrumental piece. These headphones really bring the strumming to life. I will probably be testing these out in flight within a couple weeks.

I take it you are using these with your T42P? How is the volume level? Do they use batteries?

Do they use batteries?

I use the aviation version headset and it lasts up to 40 hours on 2 AAs.

Yes its hooked up to the T. Volume is great when I have it half way up or half way down. Depends if you think the glass is half full or half empty

It takes one AAA, not sure how long it lasts, but I should know soon.

Those must sound excellent; for travel, I just have my earbuds...pretty much the standard $9.99 fair you can get from Sony or Philips, they still sound better than my old iPod earbuds though.

I might get to try them out one day too....

I have one of those, pretty good for overall usage, music, movie, games etc.

Meanwhile I got shure E3c in-ear monitors because I needed portability. I think the noise "blockage" rather is pretty good, but it takes sometime to get used to.

it is a steal if you got it for 1/3 price. It is hard to get on e-bay for under $250.
