Bose(R) TriPort(R) headphones answer the call for smooth, high-performance sound in a very lightweight package. Hear a greater range of 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. Our unique TriPort(R) acoustic headphone structure 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 hours of 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 for an eye-catching, ear-pleasing audio experience.

TriPort(R) acoustic headphone structure
Enjoy deeper, richer lows from a compact headphone design. TriPort acoustic headphone structure features small ports in each earcup to produce a rich audio performance remarkable for headphones this size.

Acoustic equalization
Innovative Bose technology that fine-tunes the frequency response of the headphones so you can experience rich, clear sound.

Adjustable headband
Up to three inches of adjustment in headband length.

TriPort ear cushions
Ergonomic design ensures maximum audio performance and comfortable fit.

5-ft extension cord
Additional cable for more freedom of movement and increased accessibility to audio sources.

Carrying bag
Provides an easy way to bring your headphones wherever you go.

Terrible sound

"Got these as a present. I used to work in a recording studio and still do some music editing on the side. If you do not know music and electronic quality, and have no way to do direct A/B comparison of similar products, you may think these are OK... However, I still have a few Sennheiser and AKG phones and the BOSE just sound TERRIBLE. There is a lot of boost in pseudo bass and highs and colored mids to fool..." Read Full Review »

The headpiece will/did snap/break; even after being very 'delicate' as I removed them from my head/ears. Bose "upgraded" a set (Aco …"  Read Full Review »
