Who is Bose trying to trick

Advantages: good feel, comfortable, good mid-range, and treble
Disadvantages: Terrible garbage base that drowns out midrange and treble

There are some good things and some bad things with these headphones.First off, they are amazingly comfortable and you could wear them all day. There is very little sound leak meaning they provide very good sound insulation reducing the need for noise cancelling technology. Great because you don't need to fool around with batteries.The soundThe treble and mid range are great, it's just too bad that they are almost completely overwhelmed by a terrible ...
...base as opposed to actually playing the correct frequency. This base blasts out a range of low frequencies in an attempt to hit the one it's looking for. I beleive that phono experts refer to this as garbage base.The base and the quality and whether it hurts your head or not depends on the song you play. If you catch a bad song you end up reducing the volume to avoid spilling your brains and then find yourself straining to hear the music.This overbearing ...

Review of Bose ON-EAR

Bose Quietcomfort 3, very much true

Advantages: Price, read the review
Disadvantages: Might get trampled

...come and says that why Bose QuietComfort 3 and not Sennheiser, they are tinier and still cheaper even their noise-canceling technology is not bad. That is the crux of Bose’s pride and arrogance. In fact these guys has excellent customer feedback network and they have assimilated the massage and has come out with Bose QuietComfort 3 to establish that they can do it even better and proved beyond doubt that people who look for quality are prepared to ...
...you want hear music with this gear has to have itself charged. The juice goes and the music dies. Damn annoying. But I will always be with it. I think Bose has done the pricing in such a way that it has become an advantage rather than a disadvantage. ...

Review of Bose IN-EAR

Bose Triport Around-EAR

Advantages: Great sound quality, blocks out background noise
Disadvantages: They are bulky to carry around

I personally believe they are great headphones as they do what they need to do, they cut out the background noise completely so your music is more clearer and better to listen to. They also are good in helping other people not able to listen to what i am listening to so they are not noisy to others close by. This is due to the pads and this is good because it helps me listen to my music wherever i want. The music quality is very high on these headphones ...

Review of Bose Around-EAR

Devastation!!

Advantages: They do exactly what it says on the tin!
Disadvantages: None

...2005 (and an excellent free Bose CD player was part of the deal). I'd first discovered the brilliant sound cancelling effect when I tried my colleague's set in the Business Club lounge in San Francisco airport - a quiet room went almost completely silent when I flicked the switch. I was seriously impressed! They're excellent for air travel as they do massively reduce the background noise - although sadly, whilst well muted, screaming kids still ...
...got brand new replacements from Bose which were relatively easy to fit and made them like new again. Why the devastation? Two days ago the joint to the headband broke and is effectively unfixable - I tried super-glue to no avail. Perhaps I can write to Santa.... By the way, although there is some reference to not using rechargeable batteries they work absolutely fine - the red light just keeps flashing even though they're fully charged - if you ...
