I wouldn't even buy them for that price. They are terrible in comparison to headphones in the same price range.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I think the bad reviews they get are just because they retail at $100. There's no way I would pay that much for them or really any headphones for that matter.

But I did compare them side to side with my $50 skullcandys, and then the "Beats by Dre" ones and the Bose were far superior. And for only $40? That's a damn good deal. Comes with a case too.

[AppleBonker]

You'd have to pay me (probably more than $40) to use and bose product. There isn't a single thing I like about that company.

[Otto.]

As much as I dislike them, the Beats are definitely better.

Bose is like the Toyota of audio equipment.

Why all the hate for Bose? Lol, they're just headphones.

Why don't you like them? I think they're surround sound stuff sounds decent, but I'm no expert or anything.

They are worthless. They made some good sounding stuff years ago but then they got big and started selling mass-produced garbage.

[AppleBonker]

Probably not the venue to get into it. People with bose gear get very defensive. If it sounds good to you, go for it. That's really all that matters.

Basic explanation, bose products tend to not reproduce sound accurately. For the most part, sound can be measured and quantified (simple physics behind it) even though some people claim to hear nuances that are more difficult to detect. Either way, actually discovering the specifications (one must do their own testing) proves out how poorly they perform. There is a reason bose doesn't supply any data about their products. Look at it this way, would you buy a Nissan if the only thing you knew about it was the name, size and weight (crude analogy, but it works)? None of the rest of the data would be published, so if you wanted to know performance numbers/hp/torque/fuel economy/etc you'd have to actually test it yourself. I'm going with no.

Because they market their product as "the best sounding" when in fact they are close to the bottom of the barrel Koss/Boss products.

At retail price they are anally raping you with no lube.

At $40 they are Anally raping you with a little bit of lube.

This set of Sennheisers will destroy them still... http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-EH-150 ... B00067OF80

SHURE FTW.

Amazon had a deal of the day yesterday on headphones that would blow these POS out of the water.

BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment. There is aboslutely nothing good about BOSE or what they make (aside from asthetics maybe...) Otherwise, I agree with 100% with Adam's post. He just said it before me :-p

Bose is right up there with Apple in terms of the garbage they churn out and how they are just super effective marketing machines.

Whoa, dude. Not cool. There's a lot about Apple I dislike. But I still own four (currently) Apple products. Apple is no where NEAR the bose level. If anything, Monster Cable might be closing in.

Yeah, that was a little far fetched.

The comparison I would make is that Apple is known for making items that cost a lot more then other products that can perform the same functions.

Look at the Zune HD compared to the Apple video thing.

Midget, you wanna-be LBC btich. lol

Leave the deals to the experts.

+1, back in the day they would put crossovers in their speakers that would drop the mid and boost the lows and highs giving it that "boomy" sound. What they were really doing is limiting the range and you weren't hearing what the artist/composer intended you to hear.

I think most will agree that this is a completely ignorant statement. Maybe I should pull out my 8 year old Powerbook and make a load of cash editing off of it.

[King Ranzo]

I have $10 headphones from Office Depot and they are pretty damn good quality and they are durable. I ain't payin' 40 bucks for no Bose headphones.

good looks man

[Empty V]

I've got a set of Creative Aurvana X-Fi's but I fly a lot and can justify the price. After testing 10 different noise canceling sets these sounded the best.

[Jesda]

I'd rather put aids in my ear.

Which speakers, all of them or were you talking about their infamous 901's and all their built in sound processing?

[PoorManQ45]

The 901s didn't have have a built in crossover.

They had an external "crossover" that was designed to act as an equalizer. IIRC it had a treble and bass slider on it. It was horrible...

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I have a set of Bose Tri-ports, and while they aren't the best thing I've heard... holy crap are they comfy.

That being said, I think Bose stereo/speaker systems are retardedly overpriced, and don't sound very good at all.

[Mitchum]

My buddy has had a few pair of those bose, i was interested in buying a pair, but after a little research was put off. I ended up picking up a pair of Monster Turbines for 150. I recently cut them in half with my car door and called up monster and they sent me out a brand new box no questions asked.

My buddy on the other hand blew one of his bose and has had quite a problem warrenty on them, bose isnt really into giving him a free pair, but they dont sound awful, theyre pretty bassy for being an out of ear headphone.

[Otto.]

Oh, if only I had the money...

i use the headphones that came with my bb. they fill my ears with music while i cut my grass. good enough for me.

Those aren't the worst things in the world. I like them more than some $250 pairs I've tried. If you remove the rubber surrounds you get a bit more sound.

I think i wrote my sentence wrong...

I meant to say that BOSE and Apple are right up there with being able to sell anything...both are highly effective marketing compaines that can push just about anything on anyone.

The BOSE/Monster comparison is right on though....$200 for a 6ft HDMI cable? Seriously?

Again...I am not saying Apple makes crappy products...

A side note on the BOSE in-ear's....these things are horribly disproportioned in terms of bass/treble leveling...the things sound like you put 10'' woofers in your ears and forgot all about tweeters and midrange...hell, even setting my iPod to treble boost couldn't even these things out and give a decent soundstage.

[MinisterofDOOM]

$200 for a 6ft HDMI cable? Seriously?

Oh, man. I had to endure a Best Buy employee trying to convince me that the $15 Mad Catz HDMI cable I bought wouldn't allow my 360 to reach it's true potential. My favorite part of that whole bowl of stupid is that the cable was really a non-issue. The 360 doesn't even render most games in high-def, it just upscales. Nothing to hold back. And my TV's so cheap I could probably output the 360's signal over UHF and still get the same picture quality. The only reason I bothered going to HDMI is that it handles audio, too, considerably reducing cable clutter.

Anyway, HDMI cables are HDMI cables. Digital signals don't benefit from gold contacts or any of that shiz.
