![]() ![]() And I don't want to cause myself any more hearing loss than I already have. Do I expect to break windows and blow my hair back? No. I'll be tickled pink if I can get my $200 speakers sounding as good as I expect them to. I understand they are by no means the most expensive systems out there, so why all the fuss? People seem to hate Bose because they've created a name for themselves, they've done a good marketing job, and they offer a product that a fair number of people can afford. I think there may be some sour grapes of some sort at work here. When considering the quality of the sound, and what I have paid for this used set of speakers, I can see no reason for defaming them, "just because". I've always been very pleased with the sound I've heard from Bose systems. It does make me wonder a bit about the demographic of the folks who are so vocally negative (and I'm not including you in this Jason, you seem reasonably sane). The bass (and overall sound) is surprisingly good when set up properly, but you won't mistake it for a high end home audio system.It was only after picking up this set of speakers that I've come to find out how loathed the Bose name is among the cyber-audiophile clan. Thankfully the woofer on the computer speakers is slot ported in the back with a front firing woofer. It literaly sounded like an acoustimass module on your ear. I tried the QC3 for a while, and it was a horrid, muddy mess. Now, if only they would bring back the 601's. ![]() I have yet to hear a better noise cancel style headset. ![]() I have heard better headsets, but also wanted the noise reduction feature without having to shove plugs in my ears. Whether or not they are competitive in the price range is another question. They still won't compete with my Paradigm and Magnepan speakers (of course not), but I still think that Bose makes decent computer speakers and headsets. Bose also sent me additional rubber "feet" for the bottom of my computer speakers at my request. They used to charge for them, but that changed. I just lost one of the silicone earpieces for my IE's, and I am having them delivered to me free of charge. ![]() It is very uncomfortable for a long duration. This is in addition to my Stax SR-001 headset, which I don't listen to much anymore. I have the QC2, TriPort IE (for my iPod) and Companion 3 computer speakers.
