QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones deliver acclaimed Bose performance in a new on-ear design. Just slip them on and experience the difference our proprietary technologies make. Enjoy full-spectrum noise reduction that fades background distractions. Rich, clear audio that reveals nuances you might have missed. And a compact, lightweight, easy fit for hours of comfortable listening.

It’s a unique combination of benefits available only from Bose, and now yours with QC3 on-ear headphones.

Wear QC3 headphones when you fly, and you’ll notice a dramatic decrease in engine roar the moment you turn them on. The cabin becomes more peaceful; you can hear yourself think. Use the detachable cord to connect your iPod, DVD or CD player, or to listen to the in-flight movie. You’ll hear audio detail and clarity you may have never experienced before.

Wear QC3 headphones at home or at the office and notice distractions fading softly into the background. No headphones will eliminate all noise. But proprietary Bose noise reduction and audio technologies work together to make almost any listening experience more rewarding.
