Going along with me being an audiophile and all, I had always wanted a pair a quality headphones to listen to my music with. I guess it isn’t conventional to have large, around-ear headphones anymore, but that wasn’t a concern with me at all. I didn’t care how big or clumsy they were, as long as I got some quality sound from them.

To add to that, I have no patience so when I wanted them I got them. This probably wasn’t the best decision but I definitely don’t regret it. I ended up rushing to my local audio store and buying a pair of Bose around-ear headphones.

I tested them out at the store, and considering they were they only pair of quality headphones they had, I bought them (it isn’t saying much that my local audio store’s highest quality headphones run for $130). Since I never got to test out any other similarly priced headphones I am probably missing out on a better pair, but I am completely satisfied on this pair of Bose headphones.

Bose has a name that is synonymous with sound quality, and their products always live up to the hype. These headphones are no exception, especially when they are the first higher end pair that you use. The change from standard iPod headphones to the Bose around-ear headphones is like a totally new world. One world is black, white, and gray. The new world is full of color, pounding bass, high treble, and total comfort. Now understand that the Bose headphones aren’t going to look as cool walking around the city, and don’t even try running with them….I did. But when you’re sitting around the house, putting on these Bose phones immerses you into your own little world of perfect sound.

The only downside that I found with the headphones is that their construction is a little too fragile (and too much plastic) for the $140 price tag. I recently dropped them, and they were fine except the outer black part on the right side snapped off from the silver part (the cups). It was repairable with tape, but they don’t look quite as nice now. So just be gentle with them.

Overall these are a pretty sexy pair of headphones, and the sounds quality is great for the price. Definitely try them out sometime.
