The QuietComfort 3 headphones offer exceptional noise cancelling, and while they may not provide the best sound quality on the market, they are extremely appealing for frequent travelers.
If you are weighing up the choice between these and the now more affordable (well by £50) Bose QuietComfort 2 it’s a tough choice. The sound on both is exceptional and you aren't going to notice much between them. Where you will notice the difference is in the aesthetics; the QuietComfort 3s are smaller and come with the rechargeable battery. Whether it's sound reproduction or just to use them as noise cancelling headphones to drown out the ambient noise on the plane the QuietComfort 3 are very very good. The catch? Well at £275 they're are unlikely to fit everyone's budget, but if you are a frequent flyer and you do want to knock out some of that ambient noise then these are hard to resist.
