Which is better in terms of sound quality; the Bowers &amp; Wilkins MM-1 or the Bose Companion 5?

B&W in my opinion, I stream lossless audio from Tidal through these and couldn't be happier with the sound in my office.

I tried both. The Bose QC20 is definitely better, but it is also 2 1/2 times the price.

If you already have Companion 20 there is no point of returning them unless you need compact speakers for laptop or tablet. Music Monitor are much much smaller and do not produce a lot of bass compared to the Companion 20.

No, Cambridge Audio states that the 651P has higher quality internal components, enhancements to the circuit design & there is a 'rumble' (LF) filter. However, both of these units are for the casual enthusiast, and I doubt the 651 is worth the extra $$$ if you will be staying with a moving magnet cartridge. For a sophisticated playback system and discerning ears, I'd pass on both, for casual listening, the less expensive model should be fine.

I bought the Sony headset because I was disappointed with the Bose system that I had for years. The Sony is much quieter, more comfortable, and seems to have a much longer battery life, so I'm very pleased with it. The improvements are due to a much more modern technology, and it's really effective.

This might not be the answer you want since I have never heard either, but this Yamaha sounds better than the Bose wave iii , which I mentioned in my review. I also have a recent model Onkyo mini system, which sounds quite good, but the Yamaha beats it out also. I think the Yamaha is well worth the price!

Just glancing through the brief description of the product, you'll know this is a basic receiver for stereo music listening; it's meant for people who want the latest quality without paying for Home Audio features they'll never use. You should really get a 5.1 receiver at the very least if you plan on using it for movies or anything, so that you can build up your system into a surround format.P.S: I apologize if I wrongly assumed you are interested primarily in home theater audio.

You cannot compare this to the Bose. If you want to spend $200-300 buy the Bose, Beats Pill, or the new Soul one. This thing is worth $35 bucks, and the sound quality is good for what IT is worth. But there is no comparison to the Bose.

The Bose head phones are for people with discerning tastes in music who don't want to blow their heads off with sound. The sound imaging is superb. Way better than Sennheiser. The Beats are for people like me who want to blow their heads off. They still have excellent sound clarity. Between the two it's like a bottle of fine wine compared to 4 bottles of Boone's Farm. The Bose have noise cancelling that will mask a locomotive. I know thru experience. The noise cancelling on beats is marginal but with the music that loud, does it matter?

It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker. The klipsch are bigger, but the pack tremondous range in sound quality. From the lows, mid and highs. Excellent bass also. With the bose, you basically loose the midrange given that they pack small sound system in the tiny speakers for home theater. The bose excell in the highs and are loud. But at the highs you loose clarity, quality and the bose does not compare to the quality of these speakers. The klipsch are the best quality you get get for the money. I bought theses after I returned the theater in a box paclage form bose and costco. It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker.

I have a 5.1 setup, but for music I listen only in 2.1 stereo mode using direct mode and love it.

I tried both and took the M50 home with me. Half the price and a much more accurate sound profile. I don't really listen to rap but I do lot of everything else, more comfortable than the AKG K701 I owned previously too.

I have had both and prefer the Audio technica for comfort and noise reduction. The Bose are more streamlined and attractive.

The Bose L1 compact has one microphone input and one 1/4 instrument/balanced line input. Each of the inputs has separate volume control. it also has a 1/4 output. The Tone Match mixer that you can buy seperate from bose has 4 channels and individual DSP for each channel. The mixer is well worth the investment.

I've only used Bose for an ipod dock. So sorry I can't compare. I am actually back to listening to my skullcandi in ear buds and they sound better than Montster dna. Good luck

I looked over the specs and they appear to be the same. I'd recommend going with the lower price is this is the same deal I got on these. I love these headphones and feel they are a best value in this category based on the performance vs value. The Bluetooth connectivity is amazing and I use it all the time. You can use a cable as well which 90% of this style units do not offer. The Boses still have better noise canceling but no Bluetooth model is available.

There is a little but nothing too badIf you want little to no microphonics with much better isolation, I would go for the brainwavz s1. It sounds better overall tooBrainwavz S1 IEM Noise Isolating Earphones With Clearwavz Remote and Microphone for iPhone iPad iPod
