    May be worth it if you ARE NOT tough on your headphones...
    4 Stars
    May be worth it if you ARE NOT tough on your headphones...
    I don't often write product reviews, but in this particular case I wanted to try and write something pertinent for people deciding if this product is worth the money. A few notes before I dive into this review.1) I am extremely tough on headphones. The most durable headphones I ever owned were actually Beats headphones (the $100 in-ears) and they lasted me 2 years. Every other pair I've owned have typically died within 1 year of purchase.2) I am not an audiophile. I love a good balance of lows, mids and highs, but don't necessarily have an acute sense of when something is too "bassy" or too "tinny". I just know when I like what I hear.That said, here are the pro's and cons of these headphones.ProsGreat noise cancellation (when the headset is charged)Great sound (when the noise cancellation is on)Very comfortable fit with the right size ear piecesConsNoise cancellation is mediocre when the active cancellation feature is offThe balance of sound is sub-par when noise cancellation isn't onThe active noise cancellation "box" at the end of the cable is HORRIBLE (see inconvenient)As I mentioned in my notes above, I am extremely tough on my headphones. It's not that I don't try to take care of them, but with as often as I travel and am active (working in the yard on projects, working out, etc...) I have a tendency to not want to care about my headphones and instead focus on the activity I'm doing. That said, I was extremely disappointed that after spending $300 on a pair of headphones, they last less than 18 months. After the amount of usage they got, a few things went wrong.1) The tip of the headphones (the piece that inserts into the phone / player) bent.2) The microphone stopped working altogetherNow, I feel that it's absolutely worth mentioning (and hence the 4 star rating), is that my experience with Bose customer service was fantastic. I called the support line to get a replacement pair sent (at a highly discounted rate I might add), and while on the phone, I was given an additional percentage off because of the experience I had with the headphones not lasting. The support person I talked to was top notch, and made the experience very pleasant. That is what being a world-class company is all about.OVERALL EXPERIENCEIf you are as tough on headphones as I am, it MAY be worth looking elsewhere as some of the design flaws (active noise placement) can significantly reduce the life of these headphones. But, not many companies out there take care of their customers like Bose did for me, so IF you have issues, you can be assured you will be taken care of.
