I was at the mall today and decided to stop by the Bose store, I will say that the new bose quiet comfort are easily one of the worst headphones I have ever heard. I also heard the V700 at the apple store and they are even worse than the Bose. The V700 just plain and simply suck. Dont bother with the Bose quiet comfort, go for the etys, they also cancel much more sound.

I like the silver koss clip-ons! They're a helluva lot of headphone for $12 (on Amazon), and very musical. Definitely a better deal than the Bose.

Valentin,

The ER-4S phones are fully burned in. You can believe those words.

Just checked the temperature in Hell and it appears to still be above freezing.

It's nice to see that the hatred for Bose even extends to the head-fi community

Maybe some day, the powers that be will unite, and make Consumer Reports see the light!

When I hear the word "Bose", I always remember a test made by a local magazine. There was a 1000€ home-theather-system and a 5000€ "Bose" home-theather-system. Just guess which one was better?

It just seems that all that Bose manufacturers is pure crap... nothing more, nothing less.

bose would be fine if they were x1/4 the price.

I dunno. maybe bose thinks that by selling over priced equipment, the consumer will make themselves believe that they actually bought some good shiat... *operative word shiat*

I mean honestly walk up to a average joe on ur street and ask em if they think the hd600 is better than the v700.. chances are they'll What? and walk off.. so if u can dazzle a person with flashy designs big price tags and huge marketting, of course they'll be brainwashed

heck if u were a company out to make as much money as possible wouldn't u do that?

Every non-informed consumer out there are really proud of their Bose speakers. They have reached the pinnacle of sound. That being said, I own some Bose outdoor speakers. Not having a tweeter actually kind of works for outdoors. I also felt that since I was getting them for $78 a pair it wasn't a huge risk.

No, wait! You have to burn them in first!
