Any opinions on the Bose noise-cancelling headphones? The newer model
("QuietComfort 2"). They would be used primarily with a portable CD
player (on an airplane), but occasionally with a good home audio
system. They will also be used with a professional keyboard (Yamaha
P-250) while creating MIDI files.


I hated them. For 300 bucks you can do so much better with AKG, or Grado. That
noise cancelation is amazinglu irritating. It's hard to describe but it would
make a fine torture device. It's more like shoving your fingers in your ears
than a natural quite.
