3. Bose On-Ear Headphones (black)
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: The Bose On-Ear headphones have a compact design, extra-comfortable cushy foam earpieces, full sound, and they fold up for compact storage in their included carrying case. Additionally, Bose offers a 30-day home trial.
The bad: While they're cheaper than Bose's noise-canceling models, they're still pretty pricey.
The bottom line: If you're looking for the best value in Bose headphones, the company's On-Ear models makes a strong case--even if they're not cheap.
