I disagree. While I have seen (or I guess heard) some great products form Bose, I have also seen some that aren't so great. I'll use my Bose Tri-Port headphones as an example. I thought they sounded pretty good with my iPod - maybe a little trebly. Then I got a set of less-expensive Icemats following the recommendation of a friend. The sound was night-and-day better than the Bose phones.

About a year ago in a Circuit City I compared a set of Bose bookshelf speakers to a pair of Sonys. The ones from Sony were vastly superior and only cost 1/3 as much as the Bose. Fuller, richer base. Greater clarity in the upper bands. Looking at the specs, what I thought I heard was verified - the Sony speakers had a wider frequency response. I bought them.

Listen, just because you use Bose speakers to play rock band, don't act like you're the authority on sound fidelity.

While some Bose products are nice, and some have great parlor tricks of simulating surround sound with fewer speakers, there are better things.

Kenwood is a name I haven't heard from in ages, but I'll tell you this; my parents had a stereo system that was almost as old as I am. For as long as I can remember, the sound from the speakers has been superb. So much so that we got rid of the system a while back, and kept the speakers.

Bose is what you buy when you want to say how much you paid for your shitty equipment, but are too pretentious to draw the price on with a sharpie.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 23rd 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 23rd 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/

What's not to like?
Until downloads are lossless, cheaper and easily recoverable, CD's are the way to go if you like to listen to albums rather than odd tracks.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 23rd 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 23rd 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 23rd 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/]]>Feb 23rd 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/
Speaking of Bose, I should probably get in touch with them. I have created a new advanced system to simulate surround sound. Let me tell you about it, and see what you guys think!!

It builds on proven technology by implementing a metal alloy drivers in a two-way dual-driver configuration. The audio signal transmission system is built from multi-threaded 21st century machine-spun fibers. Simple to set up and deployable in any sized room or enclosure - you can take this portable simulated audio surround sound system with you anywhere!!

By employing FOUR tin cans and two separate strings to transmit different sounds from each can input into each of your ears, I believe I will make kabillions of dollarses.

Face it, if you could make 2 speakers sound like 5.1 speakers, THEN NOBODY WOULD BUY 6 SPEAKERS. Duh. Clock Radio + Marketing = Bullshit.

Actually, anything + Marketing = Bullshit. Anyone who works in Marketing should do as the great Bill Hicks once advised: kill yourself.]]>Feb 23rd 2009 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/
I didn't know such avid BOSE defenders still existed in today's world where you would think most people would know how overhyped BOSE stuff really is...]]>Feb 24th 2009 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Feb 28th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/kenwood-takes-a-note-from-bose-with-dts-surround-sensation-cd-sy/Mar 24th 2009 10:25PM
