That’s the wrong crowd to listen to TBH. Bose products are far from perfect and are expensive, but I’ve also found them to be extremely comfortable and have certainly adequate sound quality for every day use. Im no audiophile but i mixed live music for ten years and do pay attention to details.
For example, I just compared Bose’s qc 35 ear buds to Sony’s new wf1000xm4 budd. The latter gets a lot of rave reviews, but i found them to be terrible. The high center of gravity with no support causes them to bounce loudly if you move around with them in, and the noise cancellation is constantly ringing with artifacts regardless of ambient sound level. The Bose have a pretty disappointing battery life, but beyond that are rocksolid compared to the Sonys.
If you want to really lose faith in those circles, try some Beats by Dr. Dre. They clown them but IMHO the Solo 3 was an excellent product for ~$100. Good sound, fantastic battery life and Bluetooth range.
- jimmaswell 5y agoMy understanding is that Beats sound good right away through the way they boost the bass and such, but they have a wonky response curve that misses a lot and you can generally get better for the same money. But nothing in the $100 range is going to be outstanding anyway. I recently finally decided to try spending some more, did some research, and landed at the MMX 300 for around $270. It's been amazing how much I was missing out on with all the cheaper stuff I'd previously had, from $20 to $90. Just all the stuff I'm hearing (hearing at all or more clearly) for the first time in very familiar tracks.
