Bose’s noise canceling headphones have long been a favorite of travelers and audiophiles. Now in its third generation, the Bose QuietComfort 3 features a smaller and slimmer design. The QC3 earcups rest comfortable on the ear instead of surrounding it and include a soft memory foam to cushion against the ear. It also features a rechargeable lithium-ion batter that lasts for 20 hours on a full charge and is foldable for storage and travel. In the box you’ll find an AC battery recharger, a dual-plug adapter, a 5′ extension cord, and a travel case.

If you purchase the Bose QuietComfort 3 prior to 1/31/07, you will receive a free Lexar MP3 player. The Hammacher Schlemmer deal comes with a 1 GB player while the Amazon deal features a 256 MB player.
