Hi everyone! I just need some quick advice as I've been searching the internet for reviews of on/around the ear headphones (preferrably noise cancelling), which cost NO greater than $300, that look stylish and I'm stumped. EVERY set I come across has its' negative reviews and they are almost ALL...

Hello.  New to Head-fi.  I've come here once or twice randomly before and tended to use this site for any information I could scrounge up about headphones.  I feel kinda like an idjit just registering now so I could ask something.   The gist of this is that I have $150 in store credit at...

So like the title states, i want one of those three headphones. They are pretty much in the same price range except the bose being the cheapest right now since they are on sale at best buy and monster turbine being the most expensive. The only on i have tried on in person was the klipsch image...

Hi guys, I know I should not mention the forbidden vendors name here on head-fi, but while I was trying the K701 and a few other phones at a local hifi store I tried the Bose AE2 as well. SQ wise they are probably overpriced, I can't tell because of the few mins I was using them and the...

As we all know, regardless of how awesome a pair of headphones, certain social situations require a headphone where the people next to you (family members, small children etc.) can't hear what's playing.   For example, I've a pair of Denon AH-D5000s, which I love, but can't really take them...

Alright headfi, you talk about how bose is so horribly overpriced and there are things that sound the same for cheaper. Well, i'm looking for over ears that sound just as good or better than the bose ae2s for a much cheaper price. Lets see how low you can go with prices (under $50 maybe?).   ...

I run 3-5 times per week on my treadmill for 1-2 miles.  I sweat moderately.   I love listening to religious music and am wanting to upgrade from simple sony sport headphones to Bose AE2 vs Sennheiser HD 448   Bose AE2  lightweight, won't bother running   Sennheiser HD 448...

Hi. I listen to a lot of house music (crookers, justice, mightyfools, zodiac cartal, boys noize, bloody beetroots, sound of stereo) and do some dj'ing. Im looking for something that sounds accurate rather than something that has a lot of messy bass. But I still do not want anything with weak...

My brother and a friend of mine have decided to pool their money together and buy me a headphone. Something under $200. But I have to choose it :)   Now, I have to say from the start that 1) I'm not an audiophile. 2) I'm not impressed with a loud bass. I listen to all kinds of music, but...

First off, I know Bose has a generally bad name on these forums... But every thread I find it just shows people bashing their larger speakers (which have nothing to do with their headphones), or they supply absolutely no reason as to WHY a certain pair of headphones isn't good. Bose just came...

  Hi, I'm looking to buy my first headphones for listening on my iphone and on my computer. I'm having an hard time choosing between Bose AE2, Sennheiser PX 360 or others Sennheiser headphones. My budget is around 150€ Can you help me with my choice ? Thanks by advance Edit : I'm...

I really know nothing about headphones. Feel free to bash me. I listen mainly to hip hop and alternative. I really am not even a huge connoisseur for sound, but I do want to invest in a great pair of over ear headphones that will last me a long time. I was looking mainly at the Bose AE2, but...

Greetings, forum.   Here's my situation: I work as a web developer in a busy office - 10 hour shifts. For focus and sanity's sake - i sport headphones 95% of the time. My Sony MDR-V500s just snapped at the weakpoint (again). After a couple days of crap earbuds, I went to the local Best Buy...

hi guy, I  tried a pair of bose ae2 and they were super comfortable. Are there any other headphones that are as comfortable as the bose, but still has good sound quality. Anything around $150 is fine. I will be using these on the bus so they should be closed. Thanks for all the help guys!

Forgive me for the vague and noob-ish nature of this request, but I've looked through old forum posts and have tried to find information online and have found more frustration than answers.    I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent headphone amp and source setup, or how I could...

  Yes, I know Bose is considered a joke among audiophiles, but I really love the comfort of these things. Bose is one of the few brands you can actually try on in a store somewhere which is a big advantage IMO. I previously bought the Denon D1000 based on recommendations from this board, but I...

I have never been too smart in the headphone arena but I am currently looking for headphones around the $100-200, I am a college student so I need to have something that can block out surrounding noises when I am using them, I had a pair of Bose Ae2's but somehow they got stolen and there are...

Hi. Bose AE2  do you recommend them as home/portable headphones? How is sound quality?   Thanks.

I'm liking the fold-flat feature. And since the AE has been a fixture for the last few years I've thought about upgrading it. Any notes of differences? Improvements?

The Bose AE2 is the next generation of Bose's famous Triport line, which was later renamed simply Around Ear, now retroactively referred to as AE1 in light of this new model, the AE2, i.e., Around Ear 2.    Now, before I get to the AE2s (which is in the 5th to the last paragraph, if you want...

looking for a nice set around $200. here are a few i looked at: Phiaton MS400 Audio Technica M50 Bose AE2 These will mostly be used for listening to music on my Droid., I have heard Studio monitor phones are the way to go for best sound.I dont want to have to use an amplifier either with...

Hi, I am not sure what to get, Bose Triport OE OR Bose AE2? any help here very much appreciated  

Well, first of all I do know that in the community the Bose products are low regarded, and I agree. This is just a quick review of AE2, and then will want recommendations of something else.   A little background;   I have a long history of music, not the classic audiophile type...

Hello everyone. Yep, i'm an idiot for liking Bose. Yep they sound rubbish. Yep, they're worth a third of their price. Yep, you wouldn't crap on them let alone wear them. Right, now that's out of the way, I'm trying to pinpoint people who have owned or do own the above headphones. Xmas money...

I know that some of you may find it odd when since they are so far apart from each other. Out of these, I have had a chance to try the Bose AE2 and the PX80. I found the sennheiser to be quite good actually compared to the Bose AE2, with the Bose having no bass. I litrally could not feel it...
