You get this same dramatic listening experience whether playing an audio CD or MP3-encoded CD. The acoustic structure of the Triport headphone system faithfully reproduces deep, full low notes for a performance worthy of the original recording.

MyMix helps you create your own custom playlist with the touch of a single button.

And the sleek metallic finish matches the new silver TriPort headphones. With just one listen you'll see this system offers beauty and brains.
Amazing sound, amazing quality.
These headphones are amazing. The sound quality is great, the headphones are surprisingly light, and the CD player works flawlessly. The speakers in the headphones sound like a 5-speaker surround sound Bose system in a regular room. Each aspect of the music, from classical to rock and roll, is enhanced to perfection. The headphones feel like they aren't even there after a song, and fit outstandingly with the contour of any head. Finally, this Bose package comes with a portable Bose CD player. It plays CDs and MP3s. If one plays an MP3 disc, the title and artist show on the easy to read, extra-large display. The CD player also has an easy set playlist that can be set up at any time.
Overall, this package from Bose is an outstanding buy.
Bose provides all you need for superb, personal music
I've previously posted that these headphones are some of the best I've ever heard. A bit pricey, yes, but super-lightweight, and so lush in their fidelity that "bass boost" tricks aren't needed. With this set, Bose adds a CD player which on first glance is pretty pedestrian, not worth the extra $70 or so. The "Bose special" features are a large display that display artist, title, and CD title when opening a CD-R full of MP3s. (See the images I've uploaded, the display is that for the retailer demo disc.) A "Browser" feature lets you find other tracks to play, without interrupting the track currently playing. You can add tracks to "MyMix," a far simpler method of "program play," and YES you can do this while playing. Buttons are large and easy to press, "spin noise" is pretty quiet, and in all this is a nice player. Not as portable as others, but perhaps not as easily disposable.
If you're shopping for the headphones, consider finding this set for a few dollars more. Comes with a handy carrying bag and 5' extension. Does NOT come with a stereo phone/2.5mm plug converter, which is an oversight considering the base Triport 'Phones come with one (hence the 3-star rating).
