Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of BoseŽ Around-Ear Headphones for Personal and Portable ListeningCustomer Review: Face it, you'll look like a dork Summary: 5 Stars
But that's ok.
These headphones fit my massive skull with ease and comfort. I have worn these headphones everywhere - and I have even fallen asleep with them on - they are that comfortable. I've had them for almost two plus years without issue. In fact, despite the comments made by other reviewers, if anything, the wires are too long. I've swung them around in a lasso like fashion (don't ask) and smashed them under lead plates. They have withstood all of my abuse.
I predominately wear the headphones while pressing lead in the gym. The great thunderclaps caused when I drop the 700 pounds I use to warm up on the bench press go unheard. My grunts and screams of hedonistic strain are completely muffled. In fact I cannot even hear those who are less muscled at all. Often times it is brought to my attention only after I have removed the Bose headphones that someone was waiting for me to finish using a piece of equipment. I'm not well versed in body language or semantic expressions of envy, but I know when they say, "What's with all the grunting, are you some kind of ape?" they really mean, "I wish my abs were as carefully chiseled as your ab*".
I should note that sweat does not absorb into the padding material. Two plus years of blood, sweat, and tears and they smell like new. Well, maybe not new, but not like blood or sweat. Maybe tears...
These headphones will drown out almost everything. From the huffing and puffing that goes along with running to the loud clatter of a lawnmower. Well, almost... If I'm listening to my favorite band, Alestorm, I usually can't hear anything, save for a faint ringing in my ears that only goes away hours later...
The one downside is that when you wear the headphones you will look like that kid no one talked to in gym class. The kid with the doctor's note that said Jimmy can't shower with the rest of the class because of a rare soap allergy. The kid who routinely got his lunch money stolen from the bully Todd. Todd was such a jerk. He was held back at least two times and he smelled like two day old butt. I hated Todd. So what if I had contact dermatitis? I just wanted to be left alone to listen to my heavy metal pirate music...
*That's not a typo.
