      Those are sweet.

      You see audio pro's talk highly about them. They are almost a well kept secret. There is an $80 pair, not all of them are $1.6K 🙂

            No, but you don't see them advertised heavily like you do other brands.

              Bose just cut a deal with the NFL that prevents NFL players from doing interviews or being seen on camera anymore with Beats headphones.

                Talk about the battle of the low end. Beats and Bose? It's bottom of the barrel time.

                  Beats are not nearly all that. Bose are actually pretty good, but are a lot like Cisco...way over-hyped and you're paying mostly for the name.

                    @ajstringham In the Audiophile world, Bose are considered the worst of the worst. Their fundamental design is to sound "cool" not to sound "accurate." They aren't a hi-fidelity maker, they are a low-fidelity maker. I've seen many a shop literally call them the worst audio product on the market at any price and I've seen comparisons of their high end stuff and $30 plastic Walmart gear and the cheap stuff blew the Bose away.

                    It's pure marketing.

                      These look awesome! After I get some cash I might find a way to justify to pick these up.

                      I'm being gifted these. I don't buy anything Plantronics, simply because I don't have to. LOL

                      You're being gifted a $1700 pair of headphones - who did you b***?

                        Not those. I wish! Nah, the Backbeat Pro, which retail at $250. 😄 Fedex Tracking says they'll be at my apartment Saturday.
