All Im sayin is, dont dog on B&O speakers. They are expensive and concentrate alot of efforts on aesthetics. But they still have proper engineering and publish good specs. There headphones I heard are sadly, a different story...

B&O headphones are not heard, they are felt, and it doesn't feel good

but the speakers, the speakers rule.

I understand what you're saying, but society as a whole takes a collective and the opinion of whihc is often stated as a truth (eg: bose bieng over-priced is one such example for this community). Afterall everyhting in life is subjective and in all honesty a crap shot. Can anyone trully quantitativly tell me how the move Godfather is better then House of Dead, and how you would measure that. In the end you get to something that is subjective, and there's no escaping it. Therfore is it wrong to say Godfather is a better movie then House of the Dead? In my opinion no, but to get further into this you really have to start talking about pseudo-philsophy that I don't really care for, and doesn't get you anywhere but asking yourself more questions

I hope you enjoyed my semi-rant.

So hey if we are gonna talk about bose speakers, are the 901/802s any good? I heard both of them a long time ago, back when I didn't know what good sound was. :\

did they sound good at the time? if so, then they're good

honestly they aren't "bad" as far as speakers go, just a very unique presentation design (you either hate it love it, from differeing opinions I've heard (they're like "direct reflection stereo loudspeakers" or something, basically its the "use a hella lot of drivers" approach to "omni" presentation

))

 

[KONAKONA]

Well I thought they sounded good because they had a very nice amount of bass, and volume. One of the main reasons why my hearing ain't so nice anymore.

Gotta remember I was only 11 or so at the time. Like I said, I didn't know what good sound was.

well then, they're fine

tastes do change over time, so you might not like the amount of bass or voicing presentation now, but if you like them, what the problem is?

see 4

 

[KONAKONA]

Well I liked them back then, but I haven't had them in a long time and I wanted to see what you audiophiles thought of it.

opinions will likely vary wildly, popular line being "forget Bose, its crap", unpopular line being anything else

 

[KONAKONA]

Well have you listened to them?

 

[obobskivich]

the 8--'s, surely not, the 901's, I don't believe I have (who knows anymore), regardless, my opinion isn't really relevant, as it isn't taken with your ears and tastes

 

[KONAKONA]

Maybe so, but I am fishing for others opinions here (regardless of if the match mine or not), so it is completely relevant.

This is the part where some other guy pops in and gives impressions of them.

Bose 901 Series VI Reviews

ah, just looking for impressions, go for it

(my point is that nobody can tell you if they're "good" or "bad", but if you're just curious how either people found them to be, no harm there)

 

[Suntory_Times]

Okay obobskivich, i'll answer to you, like you do with little to no explanation (and for the record I never tried to be philosopical, and can't imagine many people who would think someone using the words "crap shot" would be trying to be philisopical).

At the end of the day what is the point of posts like this. It just comes across as rude and condescending, and to say anymore would be in breach of the rules of the forum. (I can't wait for you to post, "see point three/one" etc...) And yes I see the irony of the point of this post and the post, so don't bother pointing it out.

my point was twofold:

A) not everything is subjective
B) if everything were subjective, the irony of point 3 (and point 3 is entirely ironic,

)
