But thats what these points are for . . . to spoil yourself now and then.
And I will be getting rid of a few of those points on these Bose headphones.]]>Nov 11th 2008 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/;)]]>Oct 7th 2006 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/
Better sound through marketing?

Anyways, Bose sucks for the price. It's not high end gear by any means and it's at or close to high end pricing.

I'll take my Sennheiser HD650's (or 600/590/580's) over the TurdPorts any day, not to mention Grado or the higher end Shure/Etyomic's...]]>Oct 7th 2006 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/
But I say don't diss till we hear them. I really don't like the AE (the original Triports) both for style and sound. But I'm willing to give the OE and IE a shot. The OE's actually looks much better than the AE's, lets just see how they sound.

Oh and the disses are silly. For one thing no one can ever agree on what they don't like about Bose. I have heard different versions of the same complaint "all highs no lows" "no highs no lows" "no highs all lows" etc. no one on the net can ever agree what they don't like about Bose. So try something other than a tag-line please :) And heck just try them out compare them to others and give your reasons why you like/dislike them. And if you dislike them let us know why the other headphones sounded better. Sound cool :)]]>Oct 7th 2006 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://http//www.]]>Oct 7th 2006 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/
The audio quality itself is not 'bad' per se, it's just at the 'low-average' end, where £30-50 speaker systems usually reside. A Bose system would be an order of magnitude more expensive for the same audio quality.]]>Oct 7th 2006 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 7th 2006 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Plus im not bringing $700 headphoses anywhere.

Bose is the equivalent of a wire-fu fight scene: not the most realistic, expensive, but still very enjoyable for the average joe.]]>Oct 8th 2006 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 13th 2006 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 8th 2006 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 8th 2006 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/

The IE earphones are $99, only slightly more then a good pair of earbuds.

The OE are $179, the IE are $99.]]>Oct 13th 2006 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/
The 2nd pair were of the same design as the first pair.

These lasted until Dec, 2006.

I figured there would be no waranty left by now, but I called Bose just to try. They once again replaced them with a new pair, no questions asked.

This pair is totally different. The headband is redesigned, and will not crack like the last 2 pairs.

Bose has excellent customer service and they stand behind their products. I have no complaints about the sound quality and the comfort. I do beleive you are paying more for the Bose name than anything else though, however the same thing can be said for most any other headphones.

The number one thing I can say is that YES they are overpriced. However they arn't all bad. I HATE when people take the easy and simple route of giving feedback and jump to one extreme or the other like many of these comments have.

These headphones offer superficial sound quality. They have little or no mid range sound and offer up some boomy sound that gives a sort of false "fullness" to the sound. So if you are an audiofile then these arn't the headphones for you.

The things that you are really paying for with these headphones isn't the sound quality but the design, form factor, and the bose name which comes with some good support.

With that said I don't regret buying these. If you find yourself in the odd position like I did where you are forced to shop at a specific store and and want some good headphones for your ipod, or other mobile device. These will do the job. They are extremely comfortable, and I having been using them with my DS Lite and frankly the sound quality is such that I like that they are boomy and give a sort of false amplified feel.

The cord length is pretty short. But on the upside it doesn't get in the way and is perfect for mobile devices.

So in summation these things really feel like some of the best "general consumer" headphones you can buy yet ironicaly they come with a professionals price tag. So you will have to do some soul searching and figure out if the price is worth it. Just keep in mind that you arn't buying the best sound but you are buying a solid product.]]>Dec 29th 2006 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/one of the last good service in the world really,.. i have so often to do with hotline, service, support, waranty, rma ,.. bose is one of the best

i had no bill but also broken triports they offer me 50€ for new ones with a new bill and new waranty time, that was really great
and they offered me i can have also the OE headphonse for the same price so i take it but it was a mistake a big one

the soundquality is much less than the original triport
but the OE
1x looks really solid
2x light and smaller
3x remove able cables with 2 shipped lenghts
4x cables a similar to nylon so they are not so with and much easier to remove the "cable salat" (sorry dont know the english word hihi)

but for me is sound everything :-(
so ill tkae now alook on other models possible bose is there again ]]>Apr 14th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/I think they are a great product. And they have a bonus, they are made in America.
Needless to say I bought them.]]>Aug 25th 2007 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Sep 1st 2007 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/pair of sennheisiers, because of average sound.
For $179, I'm very happy, excellent quality, lightweight, great sound.
Don't listen to idiots, find out for yourself.]]>Sep 21st 2007 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/
I would like to point out I was looking for a very specific product and these fit that niche. I wanted something less bulky than over-the-ear headphones but with a descent sound and good comfort so I could enjoy my iPod Touch. I have not had much luck with "ear buds". These Bose OEs are perfect as portable headphones. They sound as good as a good set of over the ear headphones but are small, light, and foldable. Also their tendency toward the "boomy" side actually makes the sound from an iPod more full and rich instead of the relatively flat, compressed sound you normally get. They also come with a nice semi-hard shell case. All in all, very happy with my purchase.]]>Sep 30th 2007 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/07/bose-triport-oe-headphones/Oct 18th 2007 4:20PM
