As Emorph said, that's not quite true among high-end audio circles....

In fact, when I saw your post initially I thought this was gonna turn into a 15 page flame war.... well..... till I saw in the last part that you were dissapointed with the Bose headphones...

Back when I was active on this board about 4 years ago (Lost my old username cuz I've been gone so long ).... The thing I most remember is the absolute hatred for Bose products among audiophiles.... Just try reading the reviews for the Bose 901s in the review section of this site....

What Bose has is a massive amount of hype around the name, primarily among non-audiophiles... and a lot of hardcore audiophiles resent that...

I've taken the time to listen to a few Bose products to form my own oppinion... and though I wouldn't say that they were crap .... IMHO they were overhyped and not worth the money.....

So I guess the point I was getting at, is just be careful when making statements with Bose and Audio Excellence in the same sentence...
