Against popular forum traditions I voted for Bose, for a number of reasons. Firstly I much prefer speakers and find it had to be able to sit with a pair of headphones for more than a few minutes. Most 'phones ive tried either feel awkward, loose, move when I do, sound awful with certain...

So not really rated then. Thought not.....

Any idea on what they are like? http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=45

Yes, I think that if they placed their products at a much cheaper price their reputation would go up. Ive found that they try to add in smaller features instead. A friends Wave clock/display gets brighter/darker depending on the light in the room. Most of the other competitors offer similar...

I agree the earlier stuff was good and they have been through a 'rough' patch, however I think they are comming out of that, albeit slowly.

Ive had a look at some of their stuff through work and to be honest, their professional stuff is ok. I listened to their stereo speakers (I was going to spend much, much more) and thought that for the price, compared to others they were good. However I was looking at the upper end of the market...

^^Amen to that^^ I was given a Bose iPod dock for christmas this year (I know this is a headphone forum but...) and to be honest, I think that judging by that, the QC2's and the Triport IE's Bose are turning things around and within the next 10 or so years they should have some bloody good...

Bose don't suck though. You all pay far too much, I don't.

Hi guys! Im currently in the EU at the moment. Firstly, there is so much fraud going on over here. It wouldn't surprise me if cat woman actually lived in the UK, had a second home in Italy or wherever and used that and someone elses name as faulse ID. ID 'theft' over here, someone can...

To be totally honest, you need to take full advantage of the 30 day trial that Bose offer. Give the IE's about 100 hours of use and if you don't notice a difference then return them as they are probably defective. They take longer than 100 hours to fully 'bed in' but most of that should be...

If you are going to modify them, keep the bass/mid range and trale ports otherwise you will loose some of the sound quality. Are you doing a custom chamber design for the driver or do you just do the ergonomics? Would be interesting to see how you do it.

Hello! First post, but not new to forums. I orderd a set of the triport IE's about 2 months before they where released and picked them up on November 15th when they came out (I live in the UK) At first they sounded muddy, bass heavy, mid range was all there but very distant. Top end...
