    I bought Sennheiser PXC 450 after years of replacing parts on the Bose. Bose materials are as cheap as you can find on any sound canceling headphones. For such a premium price you'd think they could provide a cord better than a $19.95 pair of cheap headphones. Don't waste your money.

    Noise Cancelling Always On; No Audio Without Battery

    This is one really comfortable headphone but they come with a few drawbacks that really break the experience for me. If you don't have a charged battery your headphones are just dead weight. You cannot turn off the noise cancelling. It's either on or you can't hear anything at all. It's a shame really.

    My wife and I are planning a trip to Thailand soon so I figured these headphones would be a great thing to get for the trip. After buying my wife the new I pad and myself getting the Mac book air I added 2 pairs of these headphones to the order.

    I will admit the sound is very good in these headphones. However when you turn them on I got a uncomfortable feeling in my ears. It almost felt like when you are high up in a plane and your ears are about to pop. I figured okay maybe its just a one time thing and I will try them again. Every time I turned the headphones on I got a uncomfortable feeling. What makes matters worse is that you have to buy batteries for them in order for them to work. So whatever they are using to make the noise reduction it had a bad side effect for my ears.

    I have a lot of products from Bose(computer speakers, wave radio) but this is the first time I was not happy with one of their products. So after about a week of denial and trying to talk myself into keeping them I brought them back.

    I use these ONLY for air travel. So I have used them 10 Times over 1 1/2 years.
    The wire that attaches to the battery opening device came off. Now I have to pay $90 for a replacement pair! I think it is outrageous. Nothing should break after 10 times and cost $90. to replace.

    I will NEVER buy any BOSE product again. I have been a long time BOSE buyer.

    Have you people tried the noise-cancelling earbuds from Apple? SOOO much better sound quality, more convenient, and one heck of a lot cheaper.
