{mosgoogle}The Bose QuietComfort 2 headphone is one of the most unique headphones I ever had the pleasure of using. Not only do these headphone sound great but they also help to keep out / cancel unwanted outside noise; hence the QuietComfort name. Standard headphones are designed only to deliver audio and are not intended for use in loud environments. They do little to diminish background noise.

The original QuietComfort headphones were designed for airplane travel, but proved effective at wherever noise was a problem; on buses, trains, office, etc. Bose enhanced the convenience and portability features of the QuietComfort 2 headphones to make them even more easier to enjoy in a variety of environments.

Bose noise-reducing headphones may look like ordinary headphones on the outside, but that's where the similarity ends. The technologies inside is what sets it apart of other headphones. This technology is also used by the U.S. military and private pilots. A microphone in each earcup "hears" sounds an instant before they can reach the ears. Advanced electronics recognize what the listener wants to hear—a message from the control tower, music, an in-flight movie or silence—and compares it to noise the listener doesn't want to experience. Bose patented electronics then calculate and generate a signal opposite to the unwanted noise, dramatically reducing it while preserving the desired music, speech or silence.
