Wow, fuck you Bose headphones.
    #6642627 - 03/06/07 06:34 PM (17 years, 17 days ago)

So I have a pair of $180 Bose TriPort OE headphones.

Got these around December.

Been frickin' excelent to me.

Until now.

Highs still sound nice and crisp. Mids good.

But the fucking lows are starting to get crackly and distort.

Fuck.

Where did I put that product registration and receipt.

..............

My girlfriend was trying to convince me that bose is the absolute, without a doubt, best at everything audio. I admit they're very good, but nobody's perfect. She wanted to buy me a pair of bose headphones for my ipod, I told her not to because they're waaaaaaay too expensive for something that's not that much better than its competitors at less than half the price. Plus I'd probably break them/lose them/ they break on their own in 6 months or so. Instead she bought me a different brand for $30-$50 and they sound awesome. Sorry to hear you're out $180. They probably wont give you a refund either because its been 3 months. You pay a lot for the bose brand name. I suggest just buying another set for $50-$100 and see how they compare. If you really hate'm you can bring'm back in a couple days and try something else out. Good luck though, I hope you get at least some money back for your headphones.

Mine fell apart. Personally I think bose messes with the sound too much. Those Tri-Ports have hardly any low mids, and they're not good with straight lows either. I'd rather use flat frequency responce headphones.

there is NO point in pouring all your money into headphones with a really high range for an iPod. iPod's output range is very small.


read any audiophile article. bose, though not bad, sounds very artificial when compared to better headphones. Expensive doesnt always mean best. Theyre the equivalent to that 'Bass Boost' button you find on cheap boom-boxes.

Look up Grado Labs headphones. Those are the best for your money. Specifically the SR60 and SR80 models. hands down. period. end of story. and under a hundred bucks.

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones right now so if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Although I'm pretty rough on my head phones (I tend to fall asleep with them on)

I totally regret this impulse purchase.

The little prick at best buy had me totally convinced this tri port bull shit would without doubt compare to, if not blow out of the water, a pair of high end sennheisers.

Fuck.

Grado's are good, but personally, If you want closed headphones, (Grado's are open, so sound can come in) then get AKG's.

Let me say that again.
GET AKG'S. Theyre great, I have a portable pair which I like much better than my buddy's Grados. Grados are great for the Hi's, but AKG's IMO are great overall.

Should I be able to blow out headphones that advertise some of the best lows.....

Blown without even using EQ?

Fuck. Should you even be able to blow good headphones with a shitty PC sound card?

Thats all ive been using these fucks for. Granted 50% of use was with very hard, low bass music(hip hop, electronic, some metal, etc.).

Fuck you Bose. Just in case you missed that before :finger:

Just go to the store, put the same headphones on your card....switch them out and take it back.

Problem solved.

Bose make the best shit on your typical wally world shelf, but no way it's the best in the audiophile world. I've known people with $100,000 stereos!!!

No, youre not going to find them at Best Buy. :rolleyes:




+10000000000  Grado's are simply THE BEST you're going to find.  For home listening i wouldn't use anything else, perfect balance, crisp highs, meaty bass, solid mids, lightweight construction, overall just an awesome set of cans.

I use sennheisers when i spin, i highly reccomend the hd or the sp 25 models.  The best part about sennies is every single piece is replaceable.  Blow a speaker it can be replaced, break a wire, it can be replaced, it's perfect for spinning because i don't have to go out and buy a new set if i fuck em up.  It got expensive spending 150 bucks on a new set of mdr's when they broke, i bought a set of hd-25's 3 years ago and haven't had to buy a new set since :smile:
