CNET takes a hard-hitting look at the only 2 portable cans that matter; Beats Solo from Monster and On-Ears from Bose.

CNET Prizefight: Beats Solo by Dr. Dre vs. Bose On-Ear Headphones - CNET.com

What a joke.

Someone should tell them to compare some real headphones against those two, to show the utter beatdown.

The comments are even worse.
One gem: "Most people listen to 128k music, which is CD quality"

"Bose headphone throne"

I stopped there.

I like to make doodie in thrones.

I wish monster would just make their Turbine Pros into like, fullsize turbine pros or something(lol now THAT would be an odd looking headphone). Their IEMs that aren't associated with a famous person are actually very well regarded.

Haha, it's funny how they combine "Sound" with "Science" in the same score. Possibly because they can't even think of giving these headphones a 4 or 5 based on sound alone?

He does have a point, Bose systems in stores always feature extremely well mastered songs. Yet, calling 128k "CD quality" is stupid and it does show the knowledge of the comment reviewer

.

It´s just so sad to read the comments...

"The so called true audiophile kills me when reviewing these products..."

Those teens praising these products is killing me. Bose doesn´t even tell the technical specs of their products, not even after asking twice via e-mail. (I´ve tried. xD)

It's strange that they only compared 2 headphones. : /

"the only 2 portable cans that matter"

hahahahahaha cnet should review some real 'phones and then compare them back to the solo's and bose.

i survived on triports for 4 years. They were fine since i didnt know any better. For christmas I got a pair of qc15s that made me feel funny when listening to them. So I found headfi and found out about grados. So I guess if you dont know any better bose are great. They are still comfortable as hell though.

 

[nealric]

I think I figured it out...

CNET was doing a prizefight in the mini flyweight division.

 

[crapback]

More like a pair of dung beetles dukin' it out over the best lump of poo.
