Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Our most affordable headphones offer proof that high-performance sound can come in a very lightweight package. TriPort headphones deliver the full spectrum of your music whether you're plugged into a computer or on the go with a portable media device. Their ergonomic design keeps them remarkably comfortable and lightweight, even as proprietary Bose headphone technology reveals the rich acoustical landscape of your music.

Bose sound. To go

With Bose technology, you don’t have to compromise the quality of your audio just because you’re listening through a pair of headphones. Our acoustic equalization techniques deliver the rich nuances of your music that conventional headphones often lose. You hear the intricate notes of an acoustic guitar, the full range of vocals and even the beat of a drum with greater clarity and impact. TriPort® headphone technology faithfully reproduces deep, full low notes without requiring the artificial bass boost function found on many portable players.

Comfortable fit included

Advanced ergonomics and lightweight design define the stylish TriPort headphones. Soft ear cushions gently fit around your ear for comfortable listening. A thin, adjustable headband has several head size settings and the earcups swivel for a better fit. An additional benefit of Bose TriPort headphone technology is that it helps reduce headphone size without sacrificing performance, resulting in a total weight of only five ounces.

TriPort headphones put it all together: high-performance sound, comfortable fit and stylish design in one affordable audio experience.

What's in the box

1 pair of headphones, Extension cord, 1/4" stereo phone adapter, 1 headphone plug, Drawstring carry bag.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not bad...if they were 30-40 bucks, August 20, 2005

By	D. A. Deku "dekuda" (Hoffman Estates, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These dont sound bad...They just are not worth even close to 150 bucks. Trust me and all the last review, there are much better headphones for alot cheaper.
In the Under $50 range, Id get Koss KSC75, or Sennheiser HD-201
In the $50 range, id get the Sennheiser PX-100s, or koss PortaPros.
In the $50-$100 range, Id get Grado Sr-60s/80s, Sennheiser HD-280, Shure E2s, or Sony MDR-V6
$100-$150 range Id get Etymotic ER6is, Beyer DT770, and Grado 125.

The bose like I said have only ok sound, and not nearly good enough to spend 150 dollars on. You may go to Best Buy and hear these and say "Wow these sound great", but thats probably after you have had ipod, cd player, and other mp3 players stock buds that came with them. Trust me...Dont buy these.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont waste your money.... , August 18, 2005

By	Garrett S. Fong (san Jose, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just awful headphones for the money. Boomy one-note bass, mids are harsh and start to roll off towards the top of the spectrum. Treble is rolled off slightly too. Isolation is not as great as the marketed hype. My DT770 trounce them from an isolation standpoint, as do my Shure e2c. Fragile headband snaps after a week of delicate use.

For under $150 there are many better headphones:
AKG K240s-55 / K501
Koss KSC75
Sennheiser HD201, HD580, HD100, HD280
Grado SR60/80/125
Alessandro MS1
Shure e2c / e3c
Sony MDRV6, MDR-7506

Potential buyers... surf over to www.head-fi.com . Run a "Search" for "triport". 100's of disapointed user impressions there.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would have rated a zero if possible., August 9, 2005

By	Nan Yu "brass monster" (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Before you buy these phones, ask yourself, have you ever heard of the following companies? Grado, Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Etymotic, Shure. These companies are all mid to high-end headphone manufacturers that offer products that are significantly better (in sound and in durability) than anything Bose has and for less money as well. You have simply not heard of most of them because they have very few customers outside of professional sound engineers and serious audio enthusiasts. Do a google search for any of them and find more information for yourself. I made the mistake of puchasing Bose once and after I heard a pair of Grado SR-80, I sold the Bose on Ebay immediatly. Many people purchase Bose thinking they are the only options available for higher-end headphones and frankly, they sound terrible for the price. Please do your wallet a favor and do some sound research before purchasing.[...]
