But they are certainly not 'audiophile' in any way. Note that the Bose approach is mainly bass at least for their lower-to-mid end products. So if you're looking for precision these 'phones may sound really unlistenable. But on the other hand, if you have 128kbps mp3s then I guess these are a good fit right? Reference level headphones like my K701 certainly kills alot of songs (reveals alot of distortions) and sometimes you cant even listen to some cds because the quality of the studio recording is just subpar. That said you're really paying for what you think it's worth. But truthfully Bose isnt all that "designer". For the price they could definately scale up on the build quality. But that could be said for alot of other manufacturers too, couldn't it. |

Bose fanboys are good for a few things, one of which is great laughter. The tri ports are among the worst sounding headphones that I have heard ever, or course you have to listen to them on something other than your 200 dollar Sony/Realistic amp. The set you get free with an ipod are worse in some aspects but surprisingly not all aspects either. Bose is just a joke, sorry man but it's true. They market **** and call it a gold bar and some people disregard the smell and the fact that it looks like a turd and just go, wow man, that is one sweet gold bar you have there and it smells nice too!!! |
