Everybody and anybody who is an audio fan hates bose...but why? My friend has the ridiculously expensive Bose radio, and while I think it's a waste of money, those two tiny speakers sound pretty good (maybe not worth the money good, but not bad). Am I wrong?

why do ppl hate beats and bose, when they're always recommended at best buy and apple stores? the reviews on cnet also show that beats and bose make very good headphones. i was just wondering why ppl hate them. 

Title says it all. What do you think are the worst sounding headphones above $100? What do you think are the worst (sounding + quality) headphones above $300? Just curious to see what comes up.

As title says. You can get the tips cheaply (knockoff or otherwise) and was wondering if they only fit Bose IEM's.

They're on sale right now at Staples. Thinking they might be okay for a bang around work phone or something. Anyone try them?

I'm looking for the right noise canceling headphones. I have Postural Orthostatic Tachyardia Syndrome, and I'm going to a clinic in Texas next month to try and get better. I'm going on amtrak, and one the affects of my condition is that my nervous system is very sensitive to sound such as...

Hi guys, I just bought the Bose QC15's yesterday after having trouble deciding between the Bose QC15's and the Audio Technica M50's Limited Edition. I know that the sound quality of the Audio Technica are superior to the Bose; however, the AT was too uncomfortable for me. So, I went with the...

I've been offered a pair of Bose OE's for around 50% original price. Are they a good headphone for long walks listening to the iPhone?

And it really hurts my ears. I don't like it so much.   Can anyone recommend earphone that costs about the same and sounds much better?   One thing that I liked about this earphone is that the sounds doesn't seem to leak too much...

As I understand it the SoundTrue's use 2.5mm connector on the headphone end.  I would like to use my BoomPro 3.5mm.  Anyone know a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female thin enough to fit?   Thanks!

I know these may not be the best value for their money, but I got these as a gift especially for the noise canceling feature, and I am not complaining!!   Is there anything I need to know before I go ahead and start using them? My ears are trained to iphone earbuds so I am no audiophile by...

Hello all I recently bought some AKG (K 240 MK II) headphones, and while the sound quality is extremely amazing, they're really big, so I don't feel comfortable taking them everywhere.  I saved up a bit, and my budget is around $100 to $120, and I'm looking for some Earphones or IEM. The AKG...

I heard this in a video and I thoughts its really funny. I thought I;d share it with my fellow head-fier's.    Post comments on what you think below.

So i bought some bose headphones for 100$ while i was out and about on a whim wasnt looking for them in particular but i saw them and happened to have the money...so i bought them and they are pretty nice... im not very well read on the subject of headphones and was linked here from another...

First off I will state that I am awful at decision making ahaah..    Took me a solid week to decide between SE215s and Westone 1s, and even longer to choose XB500s over anything. So now knowing that I will give you some context to help me make my next decision,   THE FIRST PURCHASE FROM...

hey guys,   i have been using apple dual driver in-ear headphones for 2 years now. i am on my 2nd pair (although the 1st pair works just fine) now. I am planning to buy new in-ear headphones. I looked around the market and the bose ie2 headphones and the monster ibeats stand out. i read a...

Although I have owned the ie2's before and i was pleased with them except with the lack of treble, I don't see anything wrong with them that is outright terrible.

Here is a short review of the Bose OE2 portable headphones. I pulled the trigger on these because I got a free $50 certificate from BestBuy and had to use it at the brick and mortar store.    First of all, let's take a look at what the Bose website says about their "OE2 audio headphones"...

    Believe it or not this made the front page from theage.com.au today ~ the most popular newspaper in Melbourne.   I love this quote though.     He admits that, like any status symbol, headphone wearers get judged on their brand - with homage paid to high-end cans.    ''I...

Okay so I'd like to buy some headphones but I don't even know where to start with all the choices that exist. I own a pair of Bose TriPorts (that I won) that are unfortunately the nicest pair of headphones I own. I'd like to change that though which is why I'm here. I only have the ability to...

Hello, very new to the world of headphones, I purchased a pair of Bose headphones a while back because I listened to some and they sounded amazing to my virgin ears.   Now I've always been big on electronic music, pref DnB, so I would like some advice on what to get. So my question is, what...
