Bose earphones - target to get robbed?

[richatnort]

I'm thinking of getting some bose over head noise cancelling headphones for my commute and to use at work. Am I asking to get robbed?

I know there about £250+ which is why I'm wondering if I should or not. I get a bus and a 20 minute walk through leeds city centre so it's not too bad but not too sure really!

Why not get a set of in ear sound isolation buds instead

I'm a sound engineer and you don't need to spend BOSE money.

Thanks for this! I'll have a read! I've got some in ear headphones at the minute but with my phone due an upgrade soon and the thought of getting an Iphone 7 means i might look at getting wireless headphones which is why i was looking at bose.

Thanks for the replies but the problem with wired is that being an iphone fan and will probably upgrade soon i'd like bluetooth instead of having to use the stupid adaptor that comes with it.

Sounds like i have a winner when I upgrade to the iphone 7 next year!

Thanks but slight issue is that cable thing coming down from the headphones.

After bluetooth!
