A choice in headphone design

Many people prefer the fit of on-ear headphones. But conventional technology can compromise the performance of smaller earcups. Bose® engineers began exploring something we weren't sure was even possible: overcoming the performance limitations of smaller-sized, on-ear headphone design. The result is our QC™3 on-ear headphones.

With their introduction, you finally have the option of Bose® on-ear headphones that match the noise reduction and audio quality benefits of our around-ear QC™2 headphones. The same level of outstanding performance. With a smaller, on-ear design.
