HalenstoneMan, Bose is not that bad, they still have the most competitive active noise-cancelling in the world... They just do not make HiFi... They are more likely focusing on the "Business " market... (Means it is over priced)
hfjohn123I prefer the Sony MDR1000X to any of the Bose ANC offerings, so... Maybe it's just personal preference?
I've been seeing a lot of similar opinions around the interwebs.
hfjohn123I think both sony and sennheiser offer compeling noise cancelation products that rival bose but your right they are very business/travel orientated. Bose does have alot of practical products.
