Good Guys Bose Headphones

Bose did not disappoint. The sound on these headphones are impressive.

These headphones are the best! If you are thinking about an audio career and need to get some headphones to start mixing or monitoring live music, these guys will be you best investment. The sound that it produces its amazing clear and crispy. This are not headphones that modify your music like BEATS or BOSE. What you hear with these guys is what the producer and artist want you to hear. They don't put an emphasis on low or high frequencies. At first they will be a little stiff. DON'T PANIC! just stretch them for a couple of days and you will be good to go. I use these guys to monitor conference meeting recordings, when I am mixing for the band at church and also just for listening my favorite music like Jazz, Country, Rock and even some Michael Jackson. Overall, these guys are a great investment! They sound amazing, feel comfortable and look good!

I never regret when I decided to have most of my sound products with Bose, you are amazing guys! Amazing sound, just perfect!

I tested the B&O H9i, the Bose 700, and Sennheiser PXC 500- Overall I kept the 1000XM3 because of comfort, long battery life, good sound, best app to control the sound on my iPhone, the assistant. It comes with a hard case unlike some of the others and that is a plus too. The sound is not as good as any of my 3 wired audiophile headphones without ANc but it gets reasonably close and the ANC is amazing when flying in a commercial airline, or at work where there is distracting noise. It does a great job for what I bought them for. Overall very happy and would recommend to others. One feature I did like about the Bang and Olufsen was the replaceable battery. All liOn batteries will eventually not maintain a charge, what then? I wish all wireless headphones came with replaceable batteries.

I lost one of my tips so needed to replace them. This is what makes the Bose wireless headphones so good--comfortable, stay in place, ear tips.

These headphones are among the best at this price for my needs. I've been through a lot of headphones and wasted a bunch of money on well reviewed, more expensive ones but these are among the best. It seems that many other headphones are good at one thing but not anoher. I have a pair of VModa's that are VERY bass heavy but the mids and highs are very recessed. Don't even get me started on Beats. Just bad IMHO. These ATH-M50x's are very good at doing just about everything. Deep, but not overpowering, bass and clear mids and highs. I have another pair of favorite headphones and those are the Bose Sound True. Crystal clear mids and highs. Maybe even a tad clearer than the M50x's. But the bass is different. The bass on the Bose I would classify as tight and the M50x's as deep. Neither are muddy like the VModa's or Beats. All in all, these headphones are an excellent buy with a few minor negatives for my personal needs:1)There is no cord available for controlling an IPod or Android smartphone. I use these exclusively at the gym and it's a pain to have to reach in my pocket to skip a track or control the volume. With the Bose Sound True's, this cord is standard.2)They're noticeably heavier than the Bose. I was at the gym and listening to the Bose while lifting weights and when I went to the locker room to change for my cardio workout, I put on the M50x's and they felt like a ton of bricks compared to the Bose.3)Not real crazy about the blue/brown color scheme. The only reason I got this color is because all my other headphones are black.All things considered, a great purchase!

I have tried so many headphones lately and been very disappointed. Bose QC45 had good noice cancellation but awful sound quality. Sounded low bitrate and far away, very poor for $300 headphones. Wouldn't connect to my iPhone reliably after powering on. Comfortable though. Sony 1000x4 or whatever they are called were almost the same as the Bose but a little bit better sound quality. Comfortable however. JBL 660nc were good sound quality and noice cancellation but hurt my head. My ears are too big for the cups. These Shure Aonic 40 have OK noise cancellation but make up for it with the AMAZING sound quality. Seriously if you listen right after the Bose it's like night and day. The Shure Aonic 40 sound like wired headphones. They sound like my wired Philips Fidelio open back. These are very comfortable too! I am not a huge fan of their look and bulky size but whatever, can't have it all. I think these are a fair price on sale for $180. The app works really well too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are like me, you're deciding between these 1000XM4's or the Bose 700, and after using both, I can definitely see the appeal in these. Battery life and ANC are stellar in these sets of headphones, and audio quality is great as well! Design is rather subdued, but in a good way. These are comfortable headphones with ample padding without getting too heavy, and a case that makes it smaller to pack than the Bose 700. I wish these Sonys had better audio pickup for phone calls, as it doesn't quite stack up to the 700s. What it does bring to the table is great overall package, specs to beat, and a good price to match. As for the comparisons between this or the Bose 700, you really can't go wrong with either, but it should end up being a design choice and whether or not call pickup quality is value high on your list.

I am a long time Bose user, however I love my new headphones!

This is a nice short connector. It works with my BOSE headphones and makes it possible to use them.
