Well as in my sig I have the bose around ear, and I have yet to find ANY headphone which delivers that sound quality with barely any sound leakage. A headphone that sounds pretty good, and you can literilly use while sitting next to one without bothering her

But my friend actually LIKES the sound that BOSE creates, so i'm trying to find for him a set of headphones that sound just as crap as BOSE (with the muddy bass etc) but at a cheaper price so he doesnt need to fork out a load of cash. Any suggestions guys?

well i got him to listen to my Audio Technica ath-a900s and he still said he prefered BOSE's 'bigger' bass. So yeah.. I've lost hope on him getting some proper headphones.

There is no hope for some peeps, just accept that.

Bose are turd phones in the audiophile world and even if they were comfortable, which I'll admit they are really comfy, I'd never be caught dead wearing them.

I'm actually surprised they even sound as decent as they do from those little cups....although they don't have deep bass, just the typical 75-100hz type bass known with BOSE. It sounds good on many songs, but it's simply misleading.

Have him listen to the DT770's then.....have him hear real headphone bass.

Depending what is the model of BOSE your friend is on, what you can best (or worse) do is to buy a set of headphones for the same price

Leave him be.

If he is happy with the sound and happy to pay the price then find more productive things to do with your time that trying to persuade him to buy different cans.

Some people actually think that Bose is the way music should sound. It sad what some poeple will accept. Like when I try to talk money with my wife.

If someone truly likes the way Bose products sound, who's to say that they are 'wrong'? The OP did get his friend to try a 'better' set of cans but for him, they weren't (better).

Let the guy buy his Bose headphones and be happy with them, and focus your concerns on making YOU happy.

even though we think bose sounds bad, some ppl think they don't. you have to remember that sound is a preference, some people like the sound produced by AKG, others by Sennheiser. all these headphones have stronger points than the other.

sound is purely preference
