How do these compare with Bose?

I found these to be too heavy and I wasn't very pleased with the sound quality. I've never tried the Bose headphones.

I have never had Bose headphones so I am not sure. The sound on these are good, hut quality of materials are not that good.

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.

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?

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.

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 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

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 not a dj. They sound good, good bass and clarity, and have a swivel system, so you can talk and remove one from your ears without taking them off. However, they're not completely isolating. They reduce sounds around you a lot, but not as much as BOSE quiet comfort. They are very sturdy, it looks like they will last. Again, I don't know what is out there for djs to compare with this pair.

Yes they are. They sound is better then Bose. You have to select a right size to fit your ear, though

sorry I don't know, the only reason I both these was for the over the ear feature and the long cord and as a back up, I also have a pair of bose in ear and really like these the best, for sound and for my comfort level. I use the bose the most for walking the dog, going for a run, or just listening. I now keep the beats on my desk and use them quit a bit for listening to music at my office and listening to recorded meetings. By the way we may have a different taste in music depending on your age I am a 60 year old grandma.

Hi Max, with regards to the comparison, personally I feel there is no comparison. The PSB is far superior in sound quality. Howvere the noise cancellation in the Bose is impressive. With regards to whether people can hear you in the library, I would say like any head phone when played at a very high volume people near you can hear you especially in a quiet surrounding like the library. But if played at a reasonable volume your're pretty safe. Ask a friend to give feedback or ask a friend to put the headphones on and you listen. That's the best gauge. Battery life based on 4 hr usage a day last more than 2 months. Reviewers say it last 55 hrs on a day and night usage. Hope this helps.

I only have experience with the around the ear phones. I personally like them because they are more comfortable on my ears. They don't keep out the noise level as much as my cheaper ear buds, which surprised me. I do love the sound quality of the Bose headset. It is basically a preference for me because of the comfort level on my ears.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

not having tried the bose i cannot compare but can say the sennheiser earfins do everything they say they do. i jog outside as well as workout in a gym and the fins stay in place, are comfy, clear sound and i hear only my music (no background gym stuff). hope that helps.

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!

Yes, they are as comfortable as the Bose set. They are soft and fit exactly like the originals. I like em.

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.
