been here before Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Whilst I sort of agree with the sentiment of the OP I find that its more generally the case that using the word douchebag (or baggery) is a symbol of an out and out bawbag. I think this instance more than illustrates that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expensive but their noise cancelling ability and sound imo is second to none. If you fly a lot and don’t invest in a pair of nose noise cancelleing (or similar quality) your the sort person i8 should be faux seething about! Quite frankly, if you love music and don't buy Bose, you're a demented deviant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 1 minute ago, Lord BJ said: I have never had a pair of beats over my ears. Are they that bad? i recently watched the defiant ones on Netflix which has a fair bit about beats came into existence and where from. I’ll be honest I assumed dre and Levine would have a great ear for sound. I get there is a huge fashion element but just assumed the sound would be decent particulary considering price and apples involvement. That is exactly what they are, a fashion brand, aimed at younger people and their parents pockets. The sound quality is tinny, the fit ain't great and the price is mental. Ear candy. Nothing more than ear candy. Dre played a blinder with the Apple link up. They paid for the popularity rather than the quality. Sakes, Technics, which are a decent to average brand have better sound quality than Beats. Once you've put your favorite song on at full blast on your Bose and marveled just in the base quality, you should be handing over your money at that point.

trotter Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I've heard great things about Bose products, but when it comes to audio stuff (home, DJ, car, headphones) my first choice is and always has been Pioneer. I've never had any quality issues with anything I've bought. I will readily admit that there are 'better' products on the market, but if you compare those of similar cost, the Pioneer kit is generally better in my opinion.

Not comfortable, questionable noise cancelling and poor sound and even more expensive than Bose or the like. Each to their own though. ****ing deviant ? You got a pair BJ? I love them man, once they are set up properly and you have the bass dialed into what suits you there is no other headphone I have had that comes close to the sound quality and I have spent a fair whack over the years.

Dia Liom Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) over ear ones ftw. More comfy, no fiddling about with tangled cable, and much harder to lose. They are the best option for sound recording at home, so usually close to hand - though I'll get round to buying proper decent ones at some point. Don't dislike the in ear ones, other than the converse of the above, and will use them when it's more practical but I'd prefer over ear 90% of the time. Honestly never worried about what weird fashionistas thought of my attire.

Dunks Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Another for Team Bose!

Each to their own as I say but not comfortable, noise cancelling poor and sounds not for me. Though sound is a personal preference I guess. Genuinely surprised you even think they are close to Bose. I currently using 3 pairs of headphones. Bose qc 25 for flying, (probably should upgrade) qc 20 if I have to catch public transport, which is rare, (mainly so I don’t look like someone i8 hates) and AirPods for the stupid amount of time on phone calls. You like them fair play, for me one of the worst headphones experienced, in terms of value for money, I’m not having a pop just thing they’re poor quality for cost. Nah it's cool man we all have our preferences, I never really need noise cancelling. They are certainly not headphones for jogging Might have somebody interested in buying them from you if the price is right. Ps. Have you tried them since the firmware update with the social mode and active noise cancelling? Social mode is a god send, activates stereo sound from the outside of the headphones using the 6 in ear nice which allows you to speak to people at any time with the headphones still on.
