Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones
Since Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by then Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Dr. Amar G. Bose, the original philosophies and founding principles have not changed.
Bose maintains an exceptionally strong commitment to research, for it is within the discipline of research that yesterday’s fiction becomes tomorrow’s reality. We strive to identify things which, when made better, improve people’s lives.
But it’s more than just research. We aim for excellence in everything we do. From the way we run our business to our customer service. From the products to the owner’s manuals you’ll use to set them up. In everything we do, we truly believe that “good enough” is merely a starting point.
We’ve taken our commitment and our passion for innovation and applied them to developing unique sound solutions to meet virtually any audio challenge in any application, even the space program. While many of our products are designed for entertainment and home audio solutions, you’ll find Bose sound is prevalent in both the aviation and automotive industries, too.
We’ve also designed professional sound systems for many applications, including stadiums and auditoriums, houses of worship, retail businesses, department stores and restaurants.
Our commitment has served us well. Today, Bose has operations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia and South America.
The Bose QuietComfort 3s are indeed significantly smaller their predecessors, and they feature an on-ear (supra-aural) rather than the over-the-ear (circumaural) design of the QuietComfort 2s. Impressively, the earpieces employ a cushy memory foam that conforms to your ears nicely, and they do a better job than you’d think of passively shutting out noise, unlike most on-ear models, which tend to let in–and leak out–a fair amount of sound. The headphones are very comfortable, but because the deliciously soft leather pads are pressed right up against your ears, the newer models are going to feel steamier if you wear them in warmer environments. They’re probably not the best choice for workouts.
Perfect traveling companions
Wear QuietComfort 3 headphones when you fly, and you’ll notice a dramatic reduction in engine noise the moment you turn them on. They also fold flat into a small, slim carrying case for easy storage.
Superior audio and comfort
Thanks to proprietary signal processing and the TriPort® acoustic headphone structure, you get rich, clear audio that reveals nuances you might have missed from your favorite music. And the lightweight design means hours of comfortable listening.
Unique technology to cancel noise
Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone technology electronically identifies, then dramatically reduces noise, while preserving the audio or tranquility you desire.

THE GOOD: Its headphones are a smaller and more compact follow-up to the QuietComfort 2s. They offer a more compact design, extracomfortable cushy foam earpieces, a rechargeable battery, full sound, and effective noise-canceling circuitry, and they fold up for storage in the included carrying case. Additionally, Bose offers a 30-day home trial.
THE BAD: QuietComfort 3s are even more expensive than their predecessors. And when the battery dies, so does the music.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Bose has done a remarkable job of shrinking its popular noise-canceling headphones while achieving similarly impressive sound quality–but that engineering feat doesn’t come cheap.
