Hi
After reading the comments on here and other reviews about the QC3, I was all ready to buy a pair, even had them in my hand in a Bose shop in Orlando last month.

However now I have found these Link and am unsure what to do, they are a fair wack cheaper than the QC3's and have very good reviews. They are also on Play.com so could use quidco to get cashback too.

Anyone has any experence of them?

Having played with Sony noise canceling headphones over the years I am more than happy to say, the Bose are superior, however I use the QC2's which I do feel, being a cover the ear type provide more insulation to noise by design.

Also worthy contender in the Noise canceling range & also better priced (chk out any online review, a tried and trusted model) - Audio-Technica QuietPoint

Been using for year or so, very good, travel case holds a ipod nano, best thing about them;
1. They're not Bose- the master of marketing spin.. and priced accordingly.
2. they work when the batteries run out, NB many don't..

Interesting - how does the NC work without power?

sorry, badly worded; Basically the headphones work as normal, the NC part does need power. But with many models, if no power to them, they don't work at all, nc or not..

Completely agree.
