Bose Headphones?

[Justin]

Anyone used them? The in ear ones? I have had the shure ones before, and they broke, and now have the Seinheisser (sp) ones, but the left one has stopped working.

So quite fancy these? Though its an expensive buy if they aren't any good!

I use headphones quite a lot, but want to make sure what I'm buying is worth while..

I have them, wasnt impressed to begin with but they seem to have loosened up abit over time and give a much better sound so I'm happy with them now. Cant compare them to the other brands though as I've never used them.

They're well made though and are comfy to use.

I had a set, hated them. The sound quality wasn't great and the bud fit was rubbish no matter which bud I used. Try the Skullcandy earphones, read good things about them.

Thanks guys. I'll have a look into the SC ones.

I have never listened to Skullcandy headphones, however - i get the feeling, for what they cost that they are more form over function. It's all about the look etc.

My dad had a pair of there on-ear headphones, quiet-comfort 3. They fell apart in just under a year, even with not much use. And the sound wasn't even as good as my Pioneer ones. Not great for £300 tbh. Cant comment on the in ear ones tho

I know exactly what you mean, mine look pants tbh *goes to find link*

these are designed to be used on busy commuter transport, planes, trains busses.... with no music playing you cn hear the out side world in an electric form ie voices are more prominent over engine noise....when the music is on you cant hear anything of the outside world

image is slightly wrong as there is no volume control included, the volume and power button is on the left phone..... you can just see the white writing that says volume, on-off and power...

i means for what i paid for them (about 40 notes from a SC dealer) they are great, and am a purve for clarity with decent base... i some times forget to turn then on too so with out power they still are really good

I have these Awesome headphones can't fault them at all tbh! Also use them when drumming thats how good the Noise Canceling is.

I've got a set I bought for a flight to south america last year.. You can have them for a tenner posted... only used once... PM me

i've used a lot of headphones...if you want a decent set of basic cans with fantastic range and a fair bit of bass, i'd recommend beyerdynamics... dt770's perhaps 80ohms. Skull candys are cool but too bassy for my liking. Sennheiser do fantastic sets and go all the way up to proper audiophile stuff. HD550+ etc

Depends on your budget and whether you want earphones or headphones tbqh

Personally would'nt go for Bose..

i've got a set of the new Sony Digital noise cancelling ones, used them on a flight yesterday and they were great, it was nearly silent. I can never normally sleep on flights but this was the middle of the day and i must have got 4 hrs in, was great, highly recommend them.

Earphones I meant, got a semi decent set of Technics for Headphones

 

[Dyewitness]

I am on my 3rd pair of bose, last two both failed, i mainly use shure se110 and while it may lack bass i do prefer them over bose

As far as I can tell my Sennheiser CX300 earphones are nigh on indestructable, so fair play to you on killing a set if they're what you owned! The sound quality in them is very good, but you'll already know that I suppose. The only time I don't like them is when changing from my Grado headphones back to the Sennheisers for a commute etc.

Tbh pal, I'd pick up a set of CX300, they're half the price they were a few years back and you won't do all that much better in terms of in-ear earphones, unless you want the noise cancelling.

 

[Justin]

Aye, I think the reason one of them is gone is I put them in after a shower and got water into one of them! Lol

 

[D1CKY]

What did you go for in the end ?

The wife bought me a pair of over the ear ones
