I currently use a pair or Bose IE2 headphones for their superior sound quality and in ear comfort. How do these compare?

the sound quality is low and the battery life is 1 -2 days at the most... i would have gone with the BOSE.

I have both (just got these today and have had bose for a while now). Bose sound a little better, were easier to get a good fit. But I really like the Bluetooth / no wire. I'll keep both, use them for different things.

I can't comment on how they compare to the Bose headphones but I find the sound quality and sound isolation to be excellent. I typically wear them when exercising and find them as comfortable as any other ear buds I've used.

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

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

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.

If you were in a quiet room the in ears would be better. However working in a noisy enviroment, the noise canceling of the ear muffs make these way better. I used a $290 pair of sure in ear headphones before these and they are just more comfortable for long periods of time. 1-10 on sound quality overall i'd give them a 7.....but a 7 that you can hear better and use longer. Hope that helps.

Beats isn't really good. They sound muddy and is not worth $300. When you buy the beats, you're pretty much paying for the brand, not the sound quality. But the beats do have good bass. And they do look great.On the other hand, the bose 15 has better sound quality, clarity, and amazing noise cancellation. The bose are smaller and weight less then the beats. You can wear bose for hours. That's how comfy they are. The beats start to hurt your ears after about an hour. In my opinion I kinda like how the bose 15 look. It all comes done to this: looks or sound quality.

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 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.

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

I use them with my iphone and my ipod and I think they are outstanding. Im no expert but I can compare them to 3 pairs of other headphones Ive used - Sonys, Bose, Audio Technicas, and I recommend them highly. Love them.

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

wire is even. is that your preference? I am not sure if i mentioned it in my review but i own a $100 pair of bose headphones (not that great) and a $300 pair of shure (awesome but delicate)these $6 headphones are one of the best deals i have ever gotten.

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

Can't say I have tried many headphones, but Bose SoundTrue may be similar, maybe a bit more bassy.https://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-and-personal-audio/headphones-and-headsets/audio-and-mobile-headphones/soundtrue-ae-headphones/If you are looking for more bass go for AKG Quincy Jones series.

I can only compare them to a pair of Jensen's I retired and they are much better than the Jensen's. While watching television, I put them on playing an IPod and I couldn't hear the television. I haven't tried the Bose however.

Being montitor earbuds, you can expect a great performance in movies. The IE 4's are pretty mobile too. They do cover up a lot of sound for you, which may be a pro or a con, depending on what you think of it.

Ok I can only speak to my personal use. I only listen to HD with my Bose OE. I enjoy the sound quality of the over ear headphones. Hope it helps
