OE isolates better and is more comfortable. If you really wanted one of those than the OE is better. Read my review of two cheaper but very capable headphones that should still be on the front page of this foru.

Active noise cancellation is a good excuse to look at the ATH-ANC7, anyway.

If you want good bass in a small size, try the Bose IE. People here will point you to other brands but none of them will have the "Bose bass" nor will they come in the same size.

Whether or not the triports are "good" depends on your ears, your music, and your equipment. The triports lack resolution compared to other "hi-fi" headphones but you may not be able to differentiate nor care -- just as some people don't care between 128 kbps mp3 and 320 kbps mp3 as long as you're listening to your favorite song.

While I think this thread is probably a joke, you should look for the Audio Technica ES7s. Sonically, much better then Bose and very good looking.

The OEs sound worse than the AEs. As suggested by nearly everyone else, I'd try something else.

 

[Davesrose]

If you like Bose Triports, just stick with the ones you have....the OEs are the worst sounding headphones I've ever heard

No bass at all, and very limited dynamic range. If you stay on this site, you'll be endlessly hounded for even owning Bose

Get on Audiocubes.com, I'm sure you can find a nicer looking set of phones, that sound worlds better, for less money.

middlemaniac, what's your real username?

I just cancelled my Alessandro order. I didn't know my headphones needed to look cool!
Wait a minute! I don't look cool , so what difference does it make. Bring on the uncool MS1's.

BTW - this has to be a joke. I also hang out at DPREVIEW and this sound like one of those "Whats better the D50 or a toaster?" threads.

The Triport AE though has a reputation, deservedly so, for breaking easily, especially the headband. For the same money that an AE costs though, you can get a pair of headphones which will perform much better. Or there are ones which perform the same, and which are cheaper. Bose is not a well favoured product in these parts, although I personally have nothing against the Triport other than its high pricing, which in the UK, is still more competitive than Grado pricing. What about the Triport look is that that you like so much? If you definitely want either the AE or the OE, I'd say stick with the AE.

Jecklin Floats and Senn Surrounders are sure to attract the ladies. I have no doubt Duggeh's swooned many a fine lass walking the streets with this combo.

they dont need to look amazing, just not huge and stupid. i want good bass like the triports i have now, but cheaper, smaller, and better sounding.
