    Recommendation for open back headphones for gaming (similar to Bose QC)

    Hello all, I am in need of open back headphones for gaming since my current headphones (Bose QC25) are no longer good for my current environment. I adore the comfort in the Bose (although not a fan of having to replace the ear cushions almost annually) since I do wear them for usually 12 hours...

    Best short headphones extension cable?

    I am looking for a very short (no more than 1ft and even 6" would do) 3.5 male to female extension cable. I use Bose QC25 for PC use and it is a pain to constantly remove and attach the headphones to the rear PC audio port. The front don't work well, so I am only using the back. I used to use a...

    Confused between AKG K550 and Bose QC15

    I prefer closed headphones to limit ambient noise from the street. So far, my daily drivers have been the QC15. I have them plugged into an adapter like this and that goes into an Asus Xonar DG sound card into my PC. I use the adapter because previously (years ago, when I first started to...

    Resale Value for Bose QC15 vs Limited Edition QC15

    I'm currently in possession of the traditional silver QC15 headphones from Bose, but I've been eyeing the limited edition blue one because they look nicer, imo. When I traded in the QC2 (the "champagne" color) I was originally told that the color does have an impact on trade in value to Bose (if...

    Headphones Noob. Need advice for NC for $200

    Hi all, I've recently purchased a Sony Playstation Pulse wireless headset on a whim (paid about $130 after tax) and I regret my decision now that I've realized that 7.1 only works with a PS3 (I sold my PS3) and that I really should be getting something for noise cancelling. I have about...
