I like the way these fit into your ear better than the Bose (they seem to block out more of the sound around you). But I think my Bose IE2 sound much better and more crisp.

I'm very pleased w/ mine however I have not tried the Bose Earbuds so I can't give you any feedback

I've tried both. A sign of warning it is a weird style of ear bud, well both are. These feel more comfortable and for the price they can't be beat. There bass is better but the highs may be a little undefined but nothing to noticeable. Hope I helped.

I don't know about the Boss Ear buds BUT as I am very particular with quality sound I have to give the Sony Ear buds a definitely thumbs up. The sound is amazing in all aspects. Definitely worth the money. I would have paid more!

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

They definitely do sound better. It's like a richer and fuller sound. The difference in the lower frequencies can be heard most significantly. For sound quality, I recommend highly.

They have amazing clarity for music and movies but they would not "block out the hum of the engine" http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/index.jsp Much more money but the work

They sound better to me. Clearer crisp sound. They get very loud even when they are half turned up.

Yes. This unit has amazing sound. Best value in the category IMO, so much better sound than the Bose ... and more top-end volume, too.

If all you want is the highest quality regardless of price, Bose is usually the way to go. That said, these are very good in their own right and when you factor in the price difference you'll probably soon not really notice the difference unless you are constantly switching between the two. I bought these as a gift for my father who had these second to the Bose on his wish list due to the spec sheet (better high freq. suppression in Bose) - until I pointed out to him that according to his doctor's hearing tests for the past decade neither he nor his hearing aid are able to hear/replicate those frequencies - so the quality difference for him really is NOT noticeable. I have never used Beats nor know any who has, but reviews still rate the Bose higher - and for the money that the Beats cost - I'd probably stick with the Bose.

I think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.

They don't sound as good to me. I haven't heard Beats, but I've heard many. I don't think Beats is advertised as noise-canceling. Bose Quietcomfort 15 are the best noise-canceling phones I've owned. Do not buy used old models. After many years, the ear cushions on my Bose phones were wearing out. I called them and they offered me the new model for $100 and said it was much improved. They were right. The new model sounds much better than the one I had.

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

They are no more or less comfortable than the ones you can order from Bose. I find that the headphones with either makers earpads tend to squeeze my glasses into the area above my ears, and for me, that gives me a headache after a period of extended use, but the Bose earpads did that as well

They are not the same. If you want noise canceling and the issues that come with battery powered headphones, get Bose. Noise canceling always colors the sound...good or bad. The Shure with the 3 driver system is pro quality in ear monitor. They fit into your ear and seal out the noise. No electronic noise canceling.

They don't have silly noise-cancelling that makes music sound terrible, they isolate you from noise. These will be a much better buy and will last much longer than any Bose headphones. All stores that carry Bose have to very quickly replace broken headphones as Bose knows they make poor constructed headphones so they maintain the illusion of quality, they sound decent enough but the Bose don't last and the price/performance is lacking.

While these are a great choice for BT capabilities and $ compared to other brands, I would not rave about the ability for noise cancelling. I have heard the Bose is the best.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

Not at all the earpiece plugs do a good job of keeping sound in & also do a decent job of keeping noise out, although these are not the noise canceling type. I have the Bose and an expensive pair of sonys that now live in a drawer because these are the only ones I use! Get these you won't be dissapointed! Best bang for the buck in earbuds, hope this helps and enjoy! If you do get em....
