I have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 which I've had for quite some time. Comfortable as hell--can wear them all day. The only big problem is the AAA battery that they require. When the juice runs out, no more sound, which sucks.

For me, the battery issue is a deal-breaker, I have a Logitech "darkfield" bluetooth mouse & the thing goes through 1 AA battery every 3-ish days (heavy usage) which drives me a little nuts sometimes...two devices to feed with batteries is to much.

Good to hear that they are comfortable to wear all day though!

With the Bose, the battery drains if you keep forgetting to turn the button on your headphones off. Now its a habit to turn off my bose when i'm not using it.

+1 for Bose Quiet Comfrot. The AAA battery requirement sucks, but it's a small price to pay for sound proof, comfort and solid construction.
