I really like the sound quality and light-weightedness of the Bose Triports. I am not crazy, however, about the price. Someone who I used to work with at a computer store said that when people pay money for Bose products they are paying most of the money just because it has the Bose name written on it and that there are far less pricey alternatives from other brands. So, I want to ask you guys what you think. I want a pair that is lightweight and has a sound quality in the same range as the triport... MUST BE LESS THAN $125--preferably not higher than $75 or so unless its really worth it. I have been looking at the following based on a thread that wanted the same thing for a third of the price, and from that thread I liked the looks of the Sony MDR-710LP; the Sennheiser PX 200 and PX 100 (I'd exclude the 100 in favor of the 200 except I heard on Macworld Playlist's ratings that the cup around the ear can make the sound less clear since it pushes the driver from your ear); and finally the AKG K26P. However, this person was only willing to spend half of my available budget for this purchase so I was wondering if some one knew of something that is still light ie not huge and clunky like my Altec-Lansing 712i's or my Sennheiser HD500A's yet still moderately durable. And, furthermore, I hate active noise cancellation... it sucks batteries. THNX!
