I have a pair of HD-555s, but that's out of the price range a bit. I just re-saftey chained a room today at work with 15 bose ceiling magnets in them, and they sound amazing. Seriously, unless you know the reason of bose, don't go out and say they suck cause they ask for a lot of money. The fact is, Bose is in the business, for businesses and major productions, not little ol headphones for itunes and games. get your facts straight, Bose is better than most companies listed for headphone so far, just not for headphones. |

We have a Bose sound system in my dad's car and in our living room. I love the things, they sound great. Headphones are not my thing, though. | ||

If you ask any audiophile, over half of them will tell you that Bose's sound is inferior to a lot of less known sound companies' products. Bose is the number 1 selling brand of sound equipment, mainly because of their hip advertising and sleek and minimal look. They also don't allow sellers to compare their products with competing companys' in store displays. Quoted... 'Vinod Christie David of the Lifestyle store in Sydney's West says, "We do not sell Bose systems. The sound is inferior, and there are too many marketing restrictions associated with the product.' More quotes 'BOSE PROS: - BOSE sounds good (but not great) - Innovative designs (high WAF) - Easy to use - Have an aura to them such that your friends who don't know a lot about hi-fi will think you have a really great system. BOSE CONS: - Expensive for what you get. - Leave a lot to be desired in the low range - Leave a lot to be desired in the midrange - Your audiophile friends will scold you for buying them Many people buy BOSE because they are BOSE. These folks rarely listen to other brands. I think BOSE is the "safe bet" (and I don't mean that in a nice way) I think it is fun to look around and definitely think that you should. You can find a system that is much better for what you'll spend on BOSE.' Sry bout your thread boom, hope you end up getting something good, or have already. |
