My friend is now raving about his Quietcomfort 2 now... Now he challenges the Sound of the Q2 to the Shure E4C's. Please Share your thoughts. Don't hold back...

Hello again,  I have two options and the most important goal is a clear sound that I can hear each instruments sound. I wanna start to compose and mix with my new MIDI controller. It should be mentioned that you can not have live performance with MIDI signal while using Bluetooth headphone.  ...

I have been looking at the Sennhesier PXC 250's and the Bose QuietConfort2 for the best noice cancelling headphones. I tried the Bose in the Bose store a couple days ago and I was extremely impressed at how much it drowns out the outter noise. I want to know what people think of the Senn PXC...

I've recently purchased some new cans and thought I'd share my impressions.    Gear:   15" Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro (10.8.2) Kawai CA95 Digital Piano   DACPort FiiO E09K Onkyo SR607   Beyer T1 (600 Ohm) Beyer DT-990 Premium (32 Ohm) Sony MDR-V900 (24 Ohm) Bose QC2...

Hello, you. I've bought a pair of refurbished Sennheiser HD 598 headphones and they're pretty good, but when I compared them to my dad's Bose QC2... The HD 598 didn't sound, but felt tinny, if you know what I mean. I think the clarity of it is... not that great. Vocals don't sound as real...

hi guys... i'm new here...   i need a AMP for my bose qc2 to improve the sound ... I already have asus xonar dx, which you could recommend me ?   for use 50% music / 50% games...   thanks !

Hello all,   I am going to be making a headphone purchase soon. I will be replacing my bose QC2. I have been reading posts on this website about headphones and I think I narrowed it down to these three:   AKG K550 Denon AHD2000 Ultrasone Pro 750   Any comments or other...

hi! im confused with buying the right IEMs for my genre of music. i love classical music, like andrea bochilli and most christian songs out there. ive tried bose ie2 for 4 days now with about 40 hours burn in. i noticed that though it can handle a good amount of bass, yet i dont feel the highs...

I currently own a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2s and I'v e been looking at maybe upgrading my cans.  Have been looking at the Denon AH-D5000.  I love Denon receivers and that is why I have been looking at their headphones but I have not heard anything other than my Bose.  I have around 300 - 400...

So, I've gotten tired of sticking the Shures into my ears, and my Grados are out on loan. I've borrowed my dad's QC2s and just wanted to share a few points: They're very comfortable, and the sound is definitely not fatiguing. Wearable for hours. Leather pads may get warm in the summer, but...

Please, please don't turn this into a Bose bashing thread. Okay, maybe this thread will sink like a rock, but..... I have some Bose Quiet Comfort 2s I am trying for 90 days. They are expensive, $300. I have tried many high isolation headphones and will opine right out of the box that these...

I've recently started getting into headphones.   My first pair were the ATH-M50's and I sold them because they were too neutral for more, although, they did sound great.   I was about to order the Sony XB500's when I found these Bose QuietComfort 2's lying around, dusty, in father's...

Hi all,   After a good 5-year run with my Bose QuietComfort2 headphones, an x-mas gift, they seem to have finally died for good. Nothing happens when I try to turn the power on on the side, and they were pretty beat up already (one side held together with electrical tape). I am thinking now...

I'm making my first foray into the world of higher quality audio. I've decided on the HD600, and am trying to decide what amp to get. I've read a ton on this forum, and of course there is lots of great and conflicting info. :)   So here's what I'm looking for:   Needed: USB DAC/amp...

Hello everyone!   I am going to doing some air travel this spring and summer and I am in the market for a set of new headphones or earbuds that I can use while I am on the plane.   I have a cheap Sandisk Sansa MP3 player and in the past I used the ear buds that came with it. Needless to...

So i have recently been into the HD audio scene. I currently have a set of the Bose QC2 and QC3 headphones (gifts from grandma). But i know i can do better. So i have had a growing interest in other HD sets mainly Grado and Sennheiser. But i have a few questions regarding things i have seen/read...

Need help selecting an upgrade from Apple Earbuds. I currently use two sets of earphones: Apple earbuds and Bose Quietcomfort 2. I would like to replace the earbuds with some kind of in-ear headphones that have the sound quality close to or equal to the Bose. I'm willing to spend up to $100 or...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones as my Bose QC2 lead frayed, and I can't be bothered to ship a new one in from America when most people's opinion on the company and the phones are less than stellar.   Boiled down, I'm looking for a pair of over-ear noise cancelling headphones that...

Just as the thread title says.    I got this idea after seeing quite a few pictures of people's collections and set ups. I realized that there was no way everyone will put out a review on every single one they own, but if it's small like this, it could give others good ideas on what they...

Are there any kind good of earplugs out there that don't amplify all the noises within your body?  The ones in the store work great for blocking noise but then my breathing sounds like title waves which is just as bad.   If there are earphones even better, or just regular ear plugs, or...

Hello, new to this forum, same old problem & appreciate any advice! Sorry if this is a bit long... or the wrong place to post it!   First, background: I listen to rock/pop/electronica on an iPod Classic. I usually use Senn CX300s which I find - if I lick them first (!) - make a great ear...

Hai everyone   So I recently got hooked onto Hi-def audio and am looking to upgrade my gear. So far I have a pair of Bose QC2's (I know Bose is bashed a lot around here, so don't get me wrong I got these for free)   I have around 200-300 USD to spend on this upgrade. Now my question...

Hi everyone, I've just joined Head Fi not long ago and have been trying to search for reviews and opinions on the differences between the PXC 450, PXC 350, and QC2. I've found some lose threads and posts here and there, but nothing of great detail. I guess when it comes down to...
