Bose headphones are product line sold by Bose Corporation. Bose headphones wee very first headphones that came with noise cancellation technology. Bose Headphones were first introduced in 1989 and since then they have come along way in enhancing the audio experience of millions of people who use them. Bose headphones are technologically superior to almost all the other headphones available in the market. They are also used by military and aviation across the world.

Bose headphones are extremely well suited to frequent fliers, people in homes and offices. Some of the Bose headphones are specifically used for aviation, while others can be used by a variety of users. The quite comfort range of Bose headphones are stylish in design and come with noise cancellation technology, single chord attachments, better bass and treble, increased battery life and improved headband quality. The Bose headphones give better frequency response at high bass also.
Bose headphones are a trifle more expensive then their counterparts. The new line of Bose Headphones is much more street friendly then earlier ones. Most of the Bose Aviation headphone line can be upgraded as and when required. On long flight or in an extremely noisy environment, Bose Headphones are a prized possession.
There are certain designs of Bose Headphones that are not available to consumers and are solely used by military. In 1993, Bose Corp became the first company to sell active noise reduction system for use in armored vehicles to U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force also uses Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones as well. At noise levels of 115dBA SPL, Bose headphones improve the speech intelligibility scores to 95%, as compared to 80% for other conventional headphones available in market. This is due to the use of noise cancellation technology.
At low frequencies, Bose headphones are far more effective in attenuating noise than passive noise reduction headsets. The headsets are extremely comfortable to use and can be worn for long periods. Another feature is the binaural talk-through feature, which allows crewmen to talk to each other directly, without removing their headsets, and while continuing to protect against loud noises.
Bose headphones are sometimes criticised as they are quite expensive. Also, some of the Bose headphones cannot work when they are not on power, unlike other headphones which work without batteries also.
Some of these issues have been taken care of in the recent line up of Bose Headphones.
