If you've passed on QC2s previously because you weren't impressed with the audio quality, you should give them another listen.
Bose never claimed that they managed to further reduce noise on the QC3s. They just reduced their size.
Myself, I have the "silver" QC2 ones for a about a year now. Can't complain. Very far from perfect when it comes to listening to music through an iPod.
PS Where is
ScottC? I want to hear that motto again without any noise cancellation please!
