The Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones are around-ear headphones featuring noise cancelling abilities. The headphones include technology intended to cancel outside noises, clarifying the audio produced by the system. The earcups are designed to fold flat into a storage case for easier transport. The headphones come with a five-foot extension cable, an airplane adapter, and a 1/4-inch stereo plug adapter. A single AAA battery provides an average life of 40 hours. Those looking for a less expensive version of noise-cancelling headphones may want to inspect Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC7 QuietPoints, which have a retail price of $219.95, while the Bose system begins at $299.99.
