Bose all day long, though to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of those either. Comfortable but bose cords are known to be prone to breaking.

I love the SOL headphones. .. I accidentally Washed the in my gym shorts and they never missed a beat. I sweat like crazy they don't fall out and the sound is perfect. If the bose are at a better price... maybe go with bose.

Keep in mind you are comparing a $200 speaker to a $60 speaker, but given that I think the Amazon speaker holds its own. I wouldn't pay the premium for the Bose. Unless you just hate your money.

I don't have personal experience with the Bose, but online reviews rate both units very close. I CAN say this. The sound quality of the TDK A33 is excellent. I have not run into any battery issues but I have only used the unit around the house a bit. I do recommend the TDK A33, especially at this price point. I don't think you will be disappointed!

I have both (just got these today and have had bose for a while now). Bose sound a little better, were easier to get a good fit. But I really like the Bluetooth / no wire. I'll keep both, use them for different things.

Yes. That said, the NC on these headphones is not as good as Bose. I knew that when buying them. The fact is Bose has great NC, but lousy sound. These have great sound, but the NC isn't quite as good as Bose. It depends what your priority is. Mine was great sound first, NC second, because the times I use headphones when I don't really need NC, I still want great sound.

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

Bose is better I think but If onkyo is a lot cheaper, I'd go only.if similar price, Bose.

I don't have a Bose system to compare too. But I am very happy with the sound. For what it is.. I am very happy with the bass. I have several large living room and kitchen and lower half of the house. And the speaker fills whatever room rather well. I like boston acoustics sound. And you can adjust the equalizer on the device your playing the music from. To get a better sound.I have a home stereo with a designated Velodyne subwoofer which is great, for real bass. But for $150 and blue tooth portable this is pretty darn good.

Yeah, I bought a pair of these and brought them to the office. My boss has a pair of QC2's and we compared them side by side. The ANC's do leak noise considerably more than the Bose. You can test them on your head with a partner, or you can turn the cups down on a table and listen for the leakage. I decided to send mine back and get the Bose instead. I also had issues with some very mild static on the ANC's on a flight last week - very slight, but it was there none-the-less.

sorry I don't know, the only reason I both these was for the over the ear feature and the long cord and as a back up, I also have a pair of bose in ear and really like these the best, for sound and for my comfort level. I use the bose the most for walking the dog, going for a run, or just listening. I now keep the beats on my desk and use them quit a bit for listening to music at my office and listening to recorded meetings. By the way we may have a different taste in music depending on your age I am a 60 year old grandma.

Well, I would say if you want complete noise cancellation go with BOSE, but these do a pretty good job if you already have something playing, it's really hard to hear anything outside of your headset.

I prefer the Fishman. I tested both side by side and the Fishman sounded natural and clear to me. The Bose seemed less clear and processed. However, I've heard from others who prefer the Bose sound. It's mostly subjective.

The Bose is far louder than the Jambox, which isn't all that much louder than many phone speakers. I own a Jawbone, am considering the Bose.

I think these sound better than the Bose AE2s but are not as comfortable (the comparison is based on sale price since both are within the same range). These are pretty easy to drive using a portable device and the Bose will need a portable amp to get the sound quality comparable to these (but with lesser pronounced bass). The build quality of this far superior-the AE2s are plagued with cheap touches, down to the carrying pouch.

I have a Bose 5.1 system, and the Monoprice sounds just as good. I paid 100.00 for the Monoprice a few years ago.

They are cheaper than Bose, but Bose are better on IPhone. You can make a decision .

I have bought both the Jawbone Jambox and the Bose Soundlink for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. She will be 33, so I want a gift befitting of her age and social scene. I like the Jawbone because it is very small and easy to put in her purse but I like the Bose because of the reputation of Bose products. The Jawbone was about $80 less then the Bose. I have been reading reviews and there seems to be similar problems with the blue tooth aspect of both products. But I get the feeling the sound quality is close even with the Bose being much bigger. I see in your comment that the Jawbone can also act like an external speaker and mic which is good for as you say for conference calls etc. I don't see that anyone has responded about the Bose. I think based on the reviews it might be pretty even between both products and in that case I want the smaller unit with the big sounds. I wish I could play them both side by side, but if I open the packaging it will negate taking one of them back. Also Bose never gives you any specification to compare with other products on sound quality because they always say it is in the design not just the specs but it is hard to compare without specs.
