These dont sound bad...They just are not worth even close to 150 bucks. Trust me and all the last review, there are much better headphones for alot cheaper.
In the Under $50 range, Id get Koss KSC75, or Sennheiser HD-201
In the $50 range, id get the Sennheiser PX-100s, or koss PortaPros.
In the $50-$100 range, Id get Grado Sr-60s/80s, Sennheiser HD-280, Shure E2s, or Sony MDR-V6
$100-$150 range Id get Etymotic ER6is, Beyer DT770, and Grado 125.
The bose like I said have only ok sound, and not nearly good enough to spend 150 dollars on. You may go to Best Buy and hear these and say "Wow these sound great", but thats probably after you have had ipod, cd player, and other mp3 players stock buds that came with them. Trust me...Dont buy these.

Fragile and expensive, but still worth owning,

I skipped all the reviews about how fragile these were and went out and bought some anyway. One of the reasons I bought these over anything else is that they are light. I hate big and bulky headphones. My primary usage for these headphones is an Ipod. From my understanding, certain more expensive large headphones have problems producing loud volumes in portable devices. These headphones have no such problems.
It was hard to go and purchase these. So many people think BOSE makes junk and just believe what they hear and just keep spreading it around. Go out and try the products for yourself first. I almost skipped them because I almost wanted to believe BOSE made stuff that wasn't any good.
Anyway, I tried these and they brought new life to my music. Everything sounded so much better than my Sony Fontopia headphones. Such an amazing difference. I also quite frequently prefer using these headphones with my ONKYO receiver to watch DTS movies. This is over $1000 home...Read more

Kick yourself for not knowing better,

These are the hype of headphones you are so excited to get home and see what the $$ gets you and when you plug in... let down to say the least! It's all about bang for buck folks, these things should be priced at about $79 with the over pronounced bass, muddy mids, and shrill highs.
Take a look at Sennheiser HD580 or for something sealed the Beyerdynamic DT 250-250 for a few bucks more will really dazzle. If you are serious about your sound Buy Other Sound Equipment (pun intended)
