The Bose® QuietComfort® 3 headphones follow on from the legendary QC®15 but are even more compact and come with a rechargeable battery.

As before, what really makes these headphones special is one of the best active noise suppression systems on the market. Using powered microphones inside the headphones, the QuietComfort® 3 monitor sound all around and then uses processors to 'cancel' the sound. The result is you're able to listen to your music undisturbed by aircraft/train noise or the sound of fellow passengers! Furthermore, the QuietComfort® 3 headphones work effectively without even having to play music - letting you get some peace and quiet in frenetic conditions. In addition to the active noise equalisation, the QuietComfort® 3 headphones use soft cushions and a closed back design to cut more noise out; passively. They'll also comfortable to wear over long periods of time. Using a rechargeable battery, the QuietComfort® 3 headphones give an exceptional 25 hours average life - ample even for the longest hauls. They also come complete with a battery charger and a 500 recharge claim, making these headphones more cost effective in terms of running costs than their bigger brother.

Yet, superior noise suppression is just half the story with these headphones. That aside, they also happen to sound superb. Bose's unique TriPort® system provides a tonally balanced sound with a deep bass and detailed, yet refined treble response.

The QC®3's don't just sound great and work well on the move, every detail you'd want in a pair of portable headphones has been addressed. For example, the ear cups fold flat, allowing for easy storage in their own, slim, carry case. The cable is detachable for ease of replacement and there's also an optional communications cable available for using the headphones with your mobile phone. Finally, as you'd expect from the world's best frequent flyers, the QC®3s come with an airline adapter plug!

For portable headphones with all the benefits of Bose® noise deduction and quality sound, the QuietComfort® 3 lead their class.
