I have had this Bose Triport Headphones for over 2 years now and its by far the best sounding headphones there is. I also own a Bose Companion 5 Speakers system for my custom built computer and they work perfectly like these headphones. from Amazon.com They are fairly robust IMO as my cats have knocked them off the desk at least 3 times and no problems whatsoever. Cons: Price, got these as a gift for Christmas and did not realize how much my wife paid for them until I heppened to see them on Newegg. But they are Bose and there is a certain amount of price you have to absorb just for name alone. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: I've owned a variety of headphones over the years and these headphones are by far the best in sound. Unfortunately, the mechanical quality of the headphones needs some work in that the earcups broke off shortly after a year of use. BOSE replaced it (outside of warranty) for $60; that is still a good deal. from Newegg.com Only comes with a cloth bag, not a sturdy case. Both sides of the headphone have cable. Other Thoughts: I tested this and the supra aural bose model which cost $180 and this one is far more better. The other model only covers the ear so when you are outside you can easily hear the noise around you, unlike this model which covers over the ear and helps eliminate the noise. from Newegg.com plus it has a 6' cord so you can get up and move in a decent radius. Cons: on songs with a lot of symbols, the symbols cover the rest of the music at high volumes, soundwise thats my only real complaint. obviously like everyone has said before me, they are somewhat fragile, but bose will replace, just be careful with them or get a case of some sort. Other Thoughts: a serious bargain for a product that truly enriches appreciation for music. from Newegg.com I have owned a wide variety of headphones and speaker systems, from dirt cheap to high end. I bought the Triports about three years ago and I have used them almost daily since. I have had no problems with cracking or anything else - they have proved themselves to be real workhorses. from Amazon.com I BOUGHT A NEW $50 SET WITH VOLUME CONTROL AND THEY SOUND JUST AS GOOD THE ONLY THING YOUR GETTING IS THE NAME WITH THIS JUNK IT DOESN'T SAY MUCH ANY MORE Other Thoughts: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED SAVE YOUR MONEY THERE ARE ALOT BETTER BRANDS FOR ALOT LESS I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE $50 ONES IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS THERE STILL LIKE NEW I ONLY GAVE ONE STAR BECAUSE THAT'S AS LOW AS I CAN GO.. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY .. SAME ON YOU BOSE YOU LOST A CUSTOMER FOR EVER I DON'T LIKE TO BE RIPPED OFF from Newegg.com The area where it broke was relatively thin (1/8 inch) plastic shaped in a crescent. Examination of the break indicated the plastic had fatigued. Bose should have cast the arm/forks of thicker or solid plastic or tough nylon. I called Bose Customer service and discovered the warranty for a free exchange expires after 1 year from date of manufacture – not the date of purchase. from Newegg.com I purchased a pair of these Bose Triport Around the Ear headphones, and used them very little (maybe 30 times). When I went to use them a few days ago, the plastic just above the Y swivel on the right side broke apart. from Amazon.com Great customer service. After owning these for 18 months (six months past the warranty) the piece that holds the earpiece to the headband broke. I called Bose customer service and they said they'd exchange my broken set for a new pair with a full 12 month warranty for $60. Pretty amazing service for a company that had no obligation since my warranty expired 6 months earlier. from Newegg.com
