I didn't buy new headphones today. I still want to, though.

  I bought some very recently.  The brand is called Skull Candy. :trollskull:

I gave in and bought them today. Mine are Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

  I'd like to get some to cancel out the noises that come out of my boss's mouth.  >:D

I love it that I can zone out while wearing them. I should have bought them a long time ago.

Someone brought this to work once; best cup of coffee ever.


Checked for this twice and they didn't have it....today it was there though. Just made coffee.

This is some seriously good shit.  :autism:

I gave in and bought them today. Mine are Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

I have tried many of these types of devices, various brands including three Bose varieties we sell at a big box consumer store.

The Bose are clearly the most effective at active noise canceling.

While a lot of ("snobs") people who are supposedly in the know about high quality sound would totally dis' Bose any time they have the chance and while I actually consider myself a bit of a "sound guy,"  I like these various offerings from Bose.

Oddly, when I bought the Chevy Traverse for my son to drive (which I mostly drive now, since he will not even get his license to drive and I am done trying to push him to do so) it was loaded up option-wise from the factory. It has a top notch Bose sound system built in. I like it.
Now, do not get me wrong. I know enough about high quality sound to know that an environment with a fifty or sixty decibel noise floor is not a good place to start, so having decent sound in a car is a kind of an oxymoron or a fool's errand.

But, the sound in this car rivals the mid eighties LTD, Crown Victoria with the top sounding JBL/Crown premium system I had in that old no holds barred beast of a giant car.

I hope you enjoy your new headphones for a long time.

It really is good. Never cared for the cold creamers as they cool the coffee too much, so have only bought it once. Have considered ordering the singles online since they're so hard to find in stores, but never got around to it.

They are awesome for their purpose, offering good-quality sound and a reasonably sound-proof bubble in a noisy environment. I have cans with better sound, of course, but nothing that so closely meets their respective targets. I am in awe of the engineering, of how Bose is able to produce such clean sound while eliminating most distractions.

I think Bose is at their best when doing this sort of thing.

Could find you a pair, one previous owner, some use, although only suitable as a trophy or ornament for the mantelpiece, floating in a jar of formaldehyde solution. Any particular color you had in mind, or from any age, gender preference.  They'd have to be NT eyes though, as of course I'd not go about removing a set from one of my own race.

I''d be careful not to damage them. For you, I'd even wash the melon-baller:P
