Pocket-lint - Bose Audio https://www.pocket-lint.com Welcome to Pocket-lint, for the latest product reviews, including news on gadgets, digital cameras, home cinema, audio, cars and mobile phones. Thu, 30 Nov 2023 22:49:36 GMT en-US hourly 60 <![CDATA[Some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds I've ever listened to are still on sale after Cyber Monday]]> Having tested quite a few earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort II Buds are the benchmark to which I compare every in-ear device. True to their name, they're comfortable, making it extra-tempting to keep them in all-day and listen to the incredible noise they deliver and benefit from the noise they more than effectively cancel out. If you're still looking for the perfect holiday gift for yourself or a fellow sound snob, I can't recommend these enough - especially when they're still at an $80 Cyber Monday discount.

<![CDATA[The best noise-cancelling earbuds I've heard are at their lowest price for Cyber Monday]]> While the actual event might be over, Black Friday deals are still in full swing as we head into Cyber Monday and we're still thrilled to see that the newly released Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are still seeing a great discount. I reviewed them just a month ago (and gave them a near-perfect score too), so I was expecting them to hold their price for a little longer before we saw any kind of price drop.

<![CDATA[Our favorite noise-cancelling earbuds just hit a new all-time low ahead of Black Friday]]> After testing out Bose earbuds earlier this year, I've turned into a Bose convert. Not only do they offer a great balance of price and features, but the noise-canceling you get from them are some of the best on the market. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II usually cost a pretty penny - often nearly $300. However, ahead of the holiday season and Black Friday, these small but mighty earbuds just dropped in price in a surprise sale. Originally $280, you can now get them for only $200.

<![CDATA[Bose Bluetooth Headset hands-on]]>

It's remarkable to consider, but Bose has never had a Bluetooth headset in its range until now. You'd think that the audio specialist would have jumped onto the bandwagon a while back. After all, the brand in synonymous with the business set, having offered high-end headphones and music systems to that demographic almost since its inception.

<![CDATA[Bose AE2]]>

If you've got yourself an iPod or other MP3 player then chances are that you'll want to upgrade to some decent headphones. Of course, you could go for some earphones, but for the best sound quality possible you're better off investing in some cans. And if you're planning on taking them on the daily commute then they need to be lightweight and durable as well as offering some decent audio. On paper, Bose's AE2 headphones fit the bill perfectly, but do they deliver?

Like most Bose products, the headphones sport a minimalist black and silver design that looks slick without appearing too ostentatious. Each ear cushion measures 9.6cm x 7.4cm and overall, the headphones measure 19.1cm x 15.2cm x 3.8cm while the whole package weighs in at a manageable 140g. The earcups fold flat for easy storage and transport so they don't take up too much room when not in use.

<![CDATA[Bose TriPort IE headphones]]>

Bose has long been the purveyor of good headphone can that sit on your noggin and give great sound. So when the company announced that it was launching a new in ear variety we were sceptical. Could Bose create that great sound in half the size and more importantly half the prize? We took a closer look.

Small and compact the Bose TriPort IE are very, and we mean very, comfortable to wear. Fitting in the well of your ear rather than having to ram the thing down your ear canal the headphones feature soft silicone tips shaped to rest gently and securely in the outer bowl of your ear.

Bose has also included two further removable tips bringing the total you get in the box to three; small, medium and large meaning you can adjust the size for a more accurate fit.

It might sound strange but at times we almost forgot we were wearing them.

But comfort is only one element to a good pair of headphones, more importantly what about the sound?

Sound overall was perfect and even better than the eShure's we've got. Sound was crisp and clear if not a little bassy.

We tested the TriPort IEs on a number of tracks from Massive Attack, Everything But The Girl, Dave Matthews Band, The Kooks and some classical music. We were impressed on all accounts.

The only track that caused concern was "When You Were Young" by The Killers, but this sounded flat no matter what headphones or device we tested it on.

BOSE says that its "in-ear headphones are engineered specifically for portable audio devices like MP3 players, and CD and DVD players".

Wanting to make sure no device caused adverse affects we tested the headphones on a Apple iPod Shuffle (both 1st and 2nd generation), the Creative Zen Vision:M, the Sony Ericsson W810i mobile phone and a Apple laptop just for good measure all bar the laptop (as expected) were excellent raising the quality of sound produced over that of the headphone supplied in the box in all cases.
