Effective Noise Cancellation
Great sound quality
Well though-out accessory bundle
Good build quality
In case you lose the included accessories, replacements are very expensive.
The rush hour traffic noise makes it difficult to hear music on your mp3 player while traveling. To counter that, most of the times, you pump up the volume to a point where its playing at a maximum. In doing so, you may permanently damage your ears with prolonged exposure to loud noise. Besides, surrounding or ambient noise also ruins your listening experience—a problem faced by frequent air travelers.

Enter the new breed of noise cancellation headphones which block out the ambient noise thereby enhancing your listening experience. There are two types of noise cancellation—Passive and Active. Passive noise cancellation is basically achieved by using headphones that cover your ears or in-ear earphones that plug into your ear canal thereby blocking the outside noise.

Active noise cancellation is a little complex. There is a tiny microphone on each headphone that senses outside noise before it enters your ear. Then the noise cancellation circuitry inverts the captured signal and feeds it to whatever your are listening to, thereby canceling most of the ambient noise.

And while discussing this new technology, we are looking at Bose’s latest revision of their Noise Cancellation Headphones—the Quiet Comfort 3. The Quiet Comfort 3 comes with passive noise cancellation and also boasts of active noise cancellation. We review the headphones to see how well it copes up.

Maybe thats why this guy (Bose) went to US. Indian's don't recognize the price of good stuff. We compromise with substandard stuff, and it's not even the price issue. We are willing to pay for garbage like Windows in place of free good stuff like Linux. Maybe it's the indian government thats foolish in this case. People like Naidu giving demo to bill gates on his crappy system. Such brain damaged people.

Difference
-------------
If I buy a 100$ stuff in USA, I can be dead sure it's worth 100$. If I buy 100$ stuff in India (4000 Rs/-) I can be sure that it's either 100$ or 2$ or something in between.

Reality: We pay for garbage but not for good stuff. Believe me choice is not the problem the way of living is. We want everything in an easy way.

Hello Guys,
Its like this. You are paying not just for the head phone, but for your “Longer Hearing Power”. Its that simple because, you don’t crank up the voice limits just to over come the ambient noise. I have QC2 @ Rs.15000/-. Most of their money is going for their research. Any way it meant for premium segment, with golden ears. Not meant for ordinary consumers.
