Is it as good as Bose Soundock Series II?

I was able to listen to my new IPOD on both the Sony ($199) and two Bose systems ($299 and $399) at our local Best Buy. I played the same music at low, medium and high volumes on all of them (which brought store management immediately). Both Bose systems sounded extremely good and could achieve slightly higher volume than the Sony. That said, the difference was almost undetectable in sound quality, and the Sony was louder than you could comfortably listen to in a normal room at home. The decision was a no brainer. I bought the Sony without hesitation because of price and additional features, and excellent sound quality and volume.

It does pretty good. I must say that my altec Lansing has better quality sound. Better clarity and bass. Much louder than the bose.

I have the Bose QC15, IMHO, not worth the money. More hype than anything. At least with the Beats, you get bass.

Bose is superior but it depends on where you are using Philips Fidelio. I use it in my office and it sounds great, and the price is very reasonable. I would recommend it.

This is an opinion question. I think the Bose products are highly overrated. I have done directly comparison listening tests on Bose vs little-known competitors of similar price, and the competitor has always sounded better. Better definition, sharper and crisper, more balanced fidelity to the sound of live music. Bose spends a lot of money on advertising, whereas some of the competitors concentrate of product quality. In addition, I have used Bose speakers in the past that were passed down when my son upgraded, and I was not impressed. The Audioengine A2+ really sounds better.

I own a Bose noise canceling headset similar to the set in question (ATH-ANC27). Bose is by far the best. For the money and size the ATH-ANC23 (in the ear) that I bought has surprising abilities. I was very impressed.

No. I would compare the quality to my Bose headphones. Very clear and well worth it!

I don't have personal experience with the Bose, but online reviews rate both units very close. I CAN say this. The sound quality of the TDK A33 is excellent. I have not run into any battery issues but I have only used the unit around the house a bit. I do recommend the TDK A33, especially at this price point. I don't think you will be disappointed!

I owned the Bose and now own the MAU2s. The Bose blocks out noise and is quieter. The M4U2s provides more in-depth, clearer sound and I could hear more details when listening to everthing.

The sound is about the same in a small room (office/bedroom/den). I'm not sure about the sound difference in larger rooms. Bose units do a relatively good job of producing sound in all their units - at least in the ones I have. GNC

I think these sound better than the Bose AE2s but are not as comfortable (the comparison is based on sale price since both are within the same range). These are pretty easy to drive using a portable device and the Bose will need a portable amp to get the sound quality comparable to these (but with lesser pronounced bass). The build quality of this far superior-the AE2s are plagued with cheap touches, down to the carrying pouch.

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

Sorry I have not compared them.I was not as impressed as I expected to be. There are nice features like talk through button so if a flight attendant asks a question dont Ned to take headphone off. And the fact that if batery goes flat it still works as regular headphone but the Bose QC 15 us actually better on noise reduction

Though you have likely made your decision, I upgraded from a 3602 (a model that's superior to the 3080 on paper) and could tell the difference with the 3908. It was night and day. I would even wager that this system is superior to a more expensive setup, like a Bose Companion 3 (from what I've heard in person) for instance. Though some would tell you Bose is overpriced/average quality, it's one of the few premium sets I have listened to.

Thanks for the reply. I purchased a Series 6 pair(three years old) with eq on Craigs for little over a third of the Bose price as I couldn't justify paying $1400 for them. I don't have an amp with pre-out and am buying the HK 3490 to run them. I hope they sound better together.

Superior to Bose. Louder and better quality. If you have the space get the klipsch. If space is an issue get the Bose

I'm unsure. I'm not an avid audiophile. Sorry I couldn't help you, I don't know how those p2's compare.
