Bose QuietComfort2 Review, Part 2

This is part 2 of a several part review of the Bose QuietComfort2 headphones. [Go to Part 1, Part 3, Part 4].

One of the few features that I don't like about the headphones is the long cord. The cord is around 6' long. When I am wearing a portable media player and walking around the house, I have to wrap the cord around my body to prevent it from snagging doorknobs and other things as I walk by. People who mostly use it at a desk will probably like the length.

Speaking of snagging doorknobs with the cord, this set of headphones has a connector at both ends of the cord (see below pictures).


This means that if the cord does snag on something, there is a good chance that the cord will just pop out of the socket (instead of breaking a really expensive piece of electronics). This is a nice feature that none of my previous headphones have ever had.

The headphones do work well, but (like most over-the-ear units) are not comfortable to wear when it is hot. The weight isn't objectionable to me, but you really feel the weight when you might sweat. These will definitely motivate you to turn on the A/C.
