Bose Headphones

[GameMaster]

Does anyone here have Bose Headphones? If so, were they the noise cancelling model or the normal triport model? I'm thinking about buying a pair but I don't know if I really need the noise cancelling ones, the triport are probably good enough. Both models are pretty expensive so I'm watching for cheap deals on eBay. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever had a pair of either model, if they could tell me their experience with them. Thanks.

Well apparently, I was near investing in a scam, thanks Stonecutter. With that aside, can you guys now reccomend to me brands/models for good headphones?

For awhile I used headphones very similar to these (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005N9D3/qid=1058920641/sr=-3/ref=sr__3_etk-audio-video/002-4538638-0216867?v=glance&s=electronics&n=1065836) they were exactly the same but they could be collapsed. Unfortunatly the plug on the end ended up breaking (I think it was my fault, I had them plugged into the back of my computer and bent around at some nasty angles) I'm not an audiophile so I can't really compair the sound quality to anything else and tell you it was better or worse, but I can tell you that I was very happy with them. They're not nearly as heavy as they look, and are very comfortable. The outside noise cancellation was awesome, even with music playing softly I had to take them off to talk to people and that works both ways. I was able to listen to the radio on my discman (which is much louder than the cd player in the discman) at full volume and people who were 6 feet away couldn't make out what I was listing to.The only real downside is that they do look a bit goofy when you've got them on.

Here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008RS97/qid=1058920641/sr=-6/ref=sr__6_etk-accessories/002-4538638-0216867?v=glance&s=electronics&n=281407) is another pair that is collapsible and they've got an in line volume control. If you were willing to drop the cash on the bose, $20 for these shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know about the headphones, though.
