The squirrel has been off bike and working a lot recently … chatty colleagues have made me use my headphones more with my iPod (- they’re lovely though … colleagues, that is!).
Currently have Bose QC3s … no lectures on price, please, they were substantially subbed. Sound is good but no more (- this may be a reflection on Apple rather than Bose). I’m not sure I’m getting my money’s worth though, as I don’t travel as much as I used to, and I think these come into their own on flights, train journeys with the active noise reduction. I have pretty sensitive hearing and am not sold on the “white noise hiss” you can get with this type of noise isolation.
I’ve seen the B&W P5s and the rave reviews they get … could sell the Bose and buy these. Reviews reckon there is even less noise leakeage with these. Cost not too much of an issue (for once). Does anyone have these and could advise? I realise audio appreciation is very personal, but any advice gratefully received. I like the iPhone mic aspect and also the looks too (although neither are my main reasons for wanting to buy!).
I’m going to test drive tomorrow at the Trafford Centre … 😀
