Aw ye, another one of these, lets go. Two headphones around the same price point that don't need amps. Which is a better buy?
i've owned the bose AE2, and honestly was pretty disappointed with the bass. the headphones are very balanced, no range (highs/mids/lows) is really emphasized over any other. I listen to a lot of hip hop/rap/r&b, so i was looking for headphones with good bass, but these are not the answer. the mids and highs are great, very clear. However, after reading hundreds of reviews, i actually just purchased a pair of M50's a couple hours ago. hopefully they wont disappoint. according to a lot of people, they sound even clearer than bose and have excellent bass. Thats what i'm hoping for!
The AE's are definitely more portable and much more comfortable, but in regards to sound quality the M50 outclasses it in every way possible. I actually wouldn't mind having a pair of triports in the winter to keep my ears warm, but I'd be afraid to get attacked by an angry Head-fi'er.
