Bose QuietComfort
The first noise-cancelling headphones for ordinary travellers.
Amar Bose got the idea for noise-cancelling headphones on a flight in 1978. After many years of research the QuietComfort came in 2000 as a headphone for travellers.
Microphones in the headphones listen to the noise and send out a sound that cancels it. The headphones made it possible to hear music on aircraft without raising the volume.
Materials: Plastic, foam and fabric, microphones and electronics for noise cancelling
Manufacture: Made by Bose in the USA from 2000.
