My Bose noise cancelling headphones came in really handy 2 weeks ago. We needed to take a trip from North Carolina to Philadelphia PA, but ran into some trouble when one of our airlines went belly-up and another was grounded ‘til further notice (it was all over the news). Neither my wife or I felt like driving so we decided to take our very first train ride.
We packed our stuff (clothes, my laptop, my ipod and my QuietComfort 2 Bose head phones) and headed to the train station.
Bose QuietComfort 2 Noise Cancelling Headphones
My daughter was extremely excited to be traveling by train, and I have to admit I was pretty excited myself. It didn’t take long for that excitement to dissipate though. Our bedroom was tiny, as in really tiny (did I mention it was tiny). The bathroom just big enough to take care of business. I didn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t shower in there.
I’m glad to report that I don’t get motion sickness, because if I did I could’ve single handedly redecorated our little cabin if you get what I’m saying. Besides the constant sway and occasional violent jerk, the train was just plain noisy. I ended up sleeping while wearing my Bose headphone set. I thank goodness for Bose noise cancelling technology.
Food on the ride was much better than expected. With the exception of my daughters excitement and happiness, I’d have to say the food was the highpoint of the ride. The dining cart felt roomy and open compared to our tiny bedroom quarters. The big picture windows and the skylights that ran along the roof of the train provided an interesting and constantly changing view. It was without a doubt the best part of the train ride experience.
While using my laptop in our cabin, I used my QuietComfort 2 Bose noise cancelling headphones to make the ride more bearable. One of my favorite features of the Bose head phones is the ability to use them to quiet background noise without having to plug in and listen to anything. I unplug my Bose headphone set right at the earcup, turn them on and.. tada, blissful quietness.
Anyway, that was my first train ride in a nutshell. Sorry it wasn’t more detailed but I’m stuck for time right now. More later. In the mean time, check out this review.
