I have the Bose IE and they sound excellent when amplified through my Companion 2 speakers but sound weak when playing directly out of an iPod. I was hoping the Bose Quiet Comforts would take care of some of that amplification for me. I don't feel like lugging around an external amp everywhere I...

Does the Bose Quiet Comfort incorporate a headphone amp? I know they don't work without a battery. I am seriously considering these vice seperate headphone and amp. While I believe I could do better than Bose I am overwhelmed by the numerous choices. My dad has Ultrasone's and they are real...

People who compare bose to akg, grado, ue, blah,... completely miss the point. btw, I would take the dull triports over the metallic sr-60 any time... Well said and I agree. I think most are unhappy with Bose because they are not accurate monitors. That said they sound great w all types of...
