It's a unique combination of benefits available only from Bose, and now yours with QuietComfort® 3 on-ear headphones. 

Hear the difference for yourself 

Wear QuietComfort® 3 headphones when you fly, and you'll notice a dramatic decrease in engine roar the moment you turn them on. The cabin becomes more peaceful; you can hear yourself think. Use the detachable cord to connect your MP3, DVD or CD player, or to listen to the in-flight film. You'll hear audio detail and clarity you may have never experienced before. 

Wear QuietComfort® 3 headphones at home or at the office and notice unwanted sound fading softly into the background. No headphones will eliminate all noise. But proprietary BOSE® noise reduction and audio technologies work together to make almost any listening experience more rewarding. 

A new choice in headphone design 

Many people prefer the fit of on-ear headphones. But conventional technology can compromise the performance of smaller ear cups. Bose engineers began exploring something we weren't sure was even possible: overcoming the performance limitations of smaller-sized, on-ear headphone design. The result is our new QuietComfort® 3 on-ear headphones. With their introduction, you finally have the option of BOSE® on-ear headphones that match the noise reduction and audio quality benefits of our around-ear QuietComfort® 2 headphones. The same level of outstanding performance. With a smaller, on-ear design. 

Greater convenience and portability 

QuietComfort® 3 headphones can be paired with a selection of music-enabled mobile phones through our optional Mobile Phone Connect cable. And when you're done listening, the ear cups fold flat for compact storage in a slim carrying case. For added convenience, QuietComfort® 3 headphones are powered by a rechargeable battery with approximately 20 hours of run time. 2 batteries and an international AC charger kit with 6 removable adapters are included with purchase. 

An optional mobile communications kit lets you use QC®3 headphones with MP3 phones. You enjoy quality audio for your phone conversations, and you can switch seamlessly between music and calls.

From the leader in noise reducing headphones 

For over 25 years, our Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones and headsets have defined and led the active noise reducing category. And now you can enjoy the latest advance: QuietComfort® 3 headphones with on-ear design. Engineered exclusively by Bose, one of the most respected names in sound.
