Comment: I purchased these headphones last week for $94. For this price I was ready to take a chance on the triports. I tried several sennheiser headphones, but the higher end ones where too expensive. I like the triports very much, and have heard no complains or returns at the store I got them. They have never heard of them breaking either. They do feel fragile, but at the same time they are so light and comfortable. I mainly use them at home to listen to music or to watch DVDs. They are acceptable to watch movies (not same experience as of a 5.1 setup). Overall they perform nicely... a bit exaggerated on the base, but I like the feeling of a filled background on music and movies... In my Home Theater setup I crank up the base anyway. I do recommend these headphones if you are going to be careful with them... Hopefully Bose will pay some attention on the construction of the next generation of Triports, at least to make them less 'Mickey Mouse' looking.

Summary: Poor durability / quality

Comment: I have owned a number (I think a total of SIX units) of Bose TriPort AND QuietComfort2 headsets. They work as advertised, and do eliminate some background noise. The QuietComfort2 has a low hissing sound when used. Overfall audio quality is superb..
However the plastic used in manufacturing is not durable. The headsets repeatedly break. Using the TriPort, I had to exchange the headsets (under warranty) five or six times. Finally I told Bose I did not want to have any more replacement TriPort units.... they offered a 'deal' at $99 for upgrading to the QuietComfort2 headset.
Ten months later I discover the QuietComfort2 alslo has weak plastic parts and break apart in essentially the same location.
Although Bose has backed up their product with replacements, it is irritating to have a product constantly falling apart, and then have to ship back the old unit and wait for a replacement (about ten days).
I was surprised when the headsets starting breaking. Bose is a quality product (I also have their home theater speaker system). Perhaps the Chinese plastic manufacturing has some quality control problems. (Yeah another point--- made in China and still priced at $299.00???? Does not compute!)
