Get Dre Beats d00d. They go boom and stuff .

go cats

If you want crap tons of bass with poor quality sound, get Dre Beats.

That was clearly my point.

If you follow the credit card thread you will see that Stupid Fitz got his Bose Quiet Comforts free from an offer from Delta.

They are amazing btw.

I bought some ear buds that don't have active cancellation, but work extraordinarily well as noise reduction. I can put them in with no music playing and not be able to hear anyone in the same room talking. That and they are very light weight and very comfortable. Have not used on a plane yet, but use when mowing and the mower sounds like it is far down the street.

Love them.

I've never worn a pair of ear buds that I thought were comfortable.

Get foam replacement tips. The silicone ones get uncomfortable after a time.

ear buds are terrible, and are completely useless for more than 30 minutes because they're so uncomfortable. There are some IEM's that are better, but for something longer than an a couple of hours, an over-ear phone would probably be best.

You can tell who has never tried listening to something while flying on a plane in this thread.

Seems like many audiophiles act as is Bose isn't nearly as great as people think, you end up paying more for the name than actual quality. I would guess you would be able to find a pair of like Sonys for a more reasonable price. Out of curiousity, how much did they want for the Bose?

I have a pair of Sonys that cost about $50. No complaints....I mean they're effing headphones, no need to spend $300

I listened to pike. They are very decent.

Some 1st 24 observo's:

-Taking them off is slightly (very slightly) disorienting, ears/balance thing. (DARIS!!??)
- they don't go all the way around the outside of the ear so not a "seal" the way the bose or many other's work.
-powered, which is good supposedly
-like the "foldability"
-like the "hey, check it out, I'm DJamer'ing. one ear on possibilities."
-do NOT like the super thin/cheap cord. Just waiting to fray.

I got these for about $120. Worked pretty well, with the exception of the lectures I was listening to not covering the material on the rough ridin' test.

I would get the Audio Technicas. They make great stuff. I don't know about the Sony cans.

Trim · « **Reply #39 on:** August 24, 2011, 09:42:04 AM »

I have the Sonys. Sticking with my earlier review of them being good except for not making the correct study material come out of them.

I always buy Sennheiser. I had a pair that I busted up a couple of years ago, but the sound quality was as good as anything I've ever heard.

This is what I'd buy if I was in the market for them right now.

I usually only have Sennsheisers as well. I have 2 pairs of cans, one pair of buds, and IE-6 IEMs.
