How do these compare to other brands? (Bose)

Depends on what environment you are using them and the amount of money you want to spend

In my view they are not nearly as good as my Bose ear buds for sound quality under normal conditions, and they can be heard by others near you, especially if they are turned loud. However, for bike riding, they are awesome as I can hear them clearly without the wind effect that impact my bose and I can also hear traffic clearly.

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.

The ones i ordered from this site are from Bose.Where Bose gets them from? not my concern.

I think they did well, not as good as Bose, but for the price they really delivered performance to my expectations.

I've developed a distrust for name brands, so on that sentiment alone, I'd go with the Audioengines. I can say from experience, though, that the A2+'s are amazing. They lack a little bit of bass, but that's to be expected, and I'm sure the Bose's would suck in that regard as well. Go with the Audioengines.

Hi there, I bought the earphone/head-set for travel purposes (plane and rail) - in noisy environements the music quality is good, the ANC is good as well. But I do not have any experience ie with the Bose stuff since I was looking for something at resonable price. The mechanical quality is fair - the head-set function seems to be broken already- maybe a loose contact. kind regards, Dieter

I have owned Bose which were a little better at cancelling noise but not near as good on the sound reproduction side. I'de rate the Bose an 8 and the PSBs a 7. I do not hear much once I put them on.

They're great at noise reduction, but I only have other in ear headphones as a point of reference, so I don't know they compare to something like bose.

I have no idea how it compares to Bose products; I haven't used Bose headphones. I do feel it isn't quite as soft as the one that come with Sony MDR 7506, but it is still very comfortable. Two of our DJ's have used these as replacements for the OEM pads on Sony MDR7506's and they have been very satisfied with them.

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

I haven't tried bose but I believe the best headphones are the ones that are cordless. Almost every cord on any headphone/earbud will start to make crackling noises. Go cordless for a change!

i definitely tried a pair of Bose ones but these produce a much richer sound and as far as noise canceling goes, i liked these better as well. it was a no brainer for me to buy these. have been using them every day for the past year or so and still consider one of the best purchases i ever made

I use them regularly on trains and less so now on planes.As others have said, they are on ear headphones so don't have the closed ear coverage benefit of the Bose QC which are designed like ear defenders with noise cancelling and then headphone speakers. As over ear headphones they give a significant cut in office background noise, air conditioning hum, aircraft engine noise etc.As they are not over ear they do not to as good a job cutting voices.I find them easier to sleep in than the Bose so generally get a better nights sleep wearing these in the 'cheap' seats at the back of the (air)bus.

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.

Hello. The sound is pretty good. I just use it as a mobile for when I do massage. I don't have a Bose to compare it with, although if you can fork out the extra bucks for a Bose, I would do that instead. All the sound is good for what I need it for.
