Now normally I would steer you away from Bose Speakers. But they do make a great sounding pair of Headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Jesus, no.... The Bose Tripath (Tripod, Trisexual, Tri-whatever, damn if I can remember what they're called, I had a pair someone gave me, I left them at a friend's project studio and forgot them), for $200, are about the nastiest high-dollar headphones I've ever heard. Just like their god-forsaken cube systems, too much mid-bass, not enough of anything else.... Forget the "dolby digital" headphones. They're useless. I've auditioned a number of them, and they really don't do anything but crush your 5.1 signal down to 2.(-1) - Headphones don't do sub-bass at all. Simple physics prevents it. For $100, the Sony MDR-V600's are a very solid headphone with great clarity throughout the frequency range. They lose quite a bit on the bottom, with a serious roll-off (unless you CLUTCH THEM TIGHTLY TO YOUR HEAD CONSTANTLY) at around 120Hz, but most phones aren't any different. Outside of that, look to the professional grade models from Sennheiser and AKG, among others. Avoid BEHRINGER like the plague - their QC is absolutely pitiful.

toddvj Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 The Bose Headphones are called TriPort. I have the Sony MDV-R700's and I think they're great. Best set of headphones I've owned. Of course that doesn't say much, as I've never really owned anything else worth mentioning. I've also never really seen any "Dolby Digital" headphones that were any good.

Bass response is better than I have any reason to expect from headphones, the highs are sublime, and you'll be able to hear all sorts of detail in your recordings that you've never heard before (at least I did). IIRC, I paid ~$120 or so for them and to me, they're the sweet spot of the Grado line. Sure they make better headphones, but for triple (or more) the cost, they don't offer triple the sound quality. Some people don't care for Grado headphones' aesthetics, but I don't give a rat's arse what they look like as long as they sound good and are comfortable to wear.

marksdad Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 wow, i know the bose listeners havent gotten around much, i have heard them, and just like everything else bose sells, well they are bose? alot depends on your budget, but the most important thing to do is audition alot, cans are a very intimate experience, and with good cans music and ht can be very engrossing, but on the other hand bad makes it bad, sennheiser, grado, actually go to headfi, or headroom .com, they have all bases covered there, plus they have an 800# where you can speak to a can geek, they are pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 talking bass response, grados go to around 45-50 hz even the higher end rs models, now the senns go to 10 hz thats bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 sorry i keep adding on . but grado is known for thier sparkling highs and absoulute clarity in an in your face manner, whereas senn is known for that as well as jaw trembeling bass. bass is grados weakness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
