Just remember - no batteries no sound.

Only just had dispatch email should be here thursday

Mine is waiting for me at home! Cheers OP!

Has anybody's been dispatched yet

Well the starting point for cost effective noise cancelling is just to use buds that passively attenuate external sound. You don't need to plug them in and they don't need batteries. All they are doing is making a good seal to your ear. For more comfort you can get custom moulded in-ear monitors (IEMs) that are shaped to fit your ear. Because these are designed to your ears they provide a very good fit and block sound very effectively.

If you want active cancellation then for similar money to the Bose you should certainly listen to the AKG N60. For around £100 Phillips Fidelio NC1s are rated and for less than then there are products from Sony, JVC and Audio Technica - all respected audio companies.

I agree i too thought they produced a pretty good sound lots of definition and natural sounding especially on vocals, plus noise canceling i dont think you'l get much better for the price.

Sorry if my sarcasm confused you - i just get fed up with the Bose naysayers on this forum who for what ever reason decry something, when the ultimate test of this stuff is in the listening. Please note I don't think every bose product is the canines dangles cos i don't. They have made some stuff that doesn't work well, but these headphones and the 901's are not one of them.

Ok, so for the discounted price of these at £169, which Noise Cancelling headphones are better?

I've listened to stuff through these and i thought they were pretty amazing. I couldnt justify a spend of £269 on headphones at the time, however they'd have been fantastic for my weekly flights.

Just curious at what you think is better, for less?

Since the beginning of time Bose has put huge resources behind clever marketing of mediocre products. Exactly the same can be said of their attempts to make professional PA systems; they tell a good story but the products don't actually perform and so are rarely used by those in the know.

Because the brand is so well looked after by their marketing efforts it has a positive image for those that don't appreciate, or want, higher quality audio engineering. This product has always been over-priced and there are many better alternatives. However you can't catch a plane without seeing Bose adverts in the in-flight magazine so many will think these are right for them and if that is you then good luck.

So it's a hot vote from me because this is cheap for Bose, but I would recommend you look at the alternatives before you buy.

Is this better than Sony MDR-ZX770BN ? Thanks

And those are the same price are they?

The deal now shows €263.81 when I go to add it to my basket and checkout, yet the main product page remains at €215,10! Anybody else having this issue... ?

Not showing this price to me

Expire please

Good sound quality every time.

Thank OP ordered. Anyone know if I'll incur any charges from my bank by paying in Euro?

Shame its only for the Apple version at that price so it not what i want.
But adding heat cos its a great deal.

I was more than sceptical about these until I bought the android pair last year.

I was going to buy another pair for this price for the Mrs, she bought a cheaper brand of NC headphones by another brand and they're no where near as good. she keeps nicking mine... great price, hot. Shame it's just the apple ones though.

Overpriced to start with but if you like Bose's artificial sound then a bargain.

Good price for these.
Personally I could not justify an average sounding headphone at this price. NC is very good but a good set of iems will do it for me.

Wouldn't be without them on a long haul flight...no drone from the engines makes them worth it

I wouldn't say the sound quality is poor on these, it just may not be to everyone's taste. The high and low end appear exaggerated on the whole, and there is colouring which some people will enjoy, others won't. Definitely worth a try before you consider buying. The noise cancelling is impressive indeed.

I waited two years to buy these as the cost was so high and I only use them on the plane, but now I have them I cannot do without them, they shut out all the drone of the jet and put me in my own little world whilst on the plane, I would rate these 9/10 easily and if you fly especially more than twice a year then a must! I also wear them 12 hours at a time with no discomfort!

Unless you're catching planes every week, it's not even worth it for that. Even with a decent set of IEMs I hear nothing from the outside on a bus or the tube.

There is absolutely no justification for poor audio quality on some alleged "high-end" headphones like these, and even less at their normal UK asking price.

Third party cable claims to be switch-able for: Andriod, Apple, Other, ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microphone-QC25-OE2-SoundTrue-Around-Ear-Black/dp/B0143N6EYK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=31fbJYTFQOL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0YQ6WJF20MJCE7V7XD7K (Price: £12.95 Prime)

:sunglasses: just ordered mine. use google translate if your Spanishhhh isn't too bright! For what it is worth this is the best price I have ever seen for these. Just what I need for long-haul... Amazon reckon 2 day delivery to uk mainland. To anyone confused about the Apple Vs. Android version - the main difference is the integrated volume control on the cable. However all the features work fine on any device including noise suppression and it turns out the cable can be ordered independently (for between £10-£25 depending on new or used) if you really must have the cable based volume controller.

I have these and bought from Amazon.es great headphones! Got the camel on watch for the bluetooth version to drop and will be purchasing them!! Heat!!

you mean in your own car or on the bus?

Anyone ordered from Amazon Spain before? And Would you still get Bose' 30 day trial?

I chose best sound quality with a bit noise. Ie. Beyerdynamic T5P, Ether closed back

Noise cancelling on these is excellent. Shame the sound quality isn't that good...

Bose QC25 just £168. it is very hot !!!!
if you are looking for a noise cancelling headphone, take it. it wont let you down.

pls, dont vote cold. it is not cheap but worth the money.

Ordered cheers

Best active noise cancelling headphone u can get in the market. Just the SQ is not that good compare to other non noise cancelling in similar price range...

£100 cheaper than Amazon UK and John Lewis,brilliant price.I bought these several months ago,excellent headphones.

good price, great noise cancelling headphones

How is anyone voting this cold?
