I was on a plane coming home from Detroit and I sat next to a guy who had the Bose headphone. He was bragging about how he had spent nearly $300 on them, but that they were worth it because they were the best sounding headphones he had every heard. He also said that he had the Bose system in his house and they the sound was very nice and it was the best sounding system he could ever hope for. It took all I had not to laugh my *** off! I took all I had to bite my lip and not totally go off about how poor the bose system is. I asked him if he had every really listened to anything else and he said, "No need." "I know that Bose is the best so there was no point in shopping around, because there is nothing better than bose." That was word for word too. I just smiled and kind of chuckled a little. He asked me what the chuckle was for, but I just played it off saying that I thought it was funny that he didn't shop around any. I did give him Klipsch web site though and I asked him to compare the 2 and then base his decision off performance. I doubt he will do anything, but I wanted to just go off about the quality of bose. But I didn't and just bit my lip. (It was a long flight and I didn't want to make an enemy). I just thought I would share another story about a dumb consumer.
