Middle of the Road Headphones at a High End Price

on January 17, 2015

Posted by: Luther

I bought these headphones for my 19 year old son for Christmas. He did not even want to consider the Bose AE bluetooth headphones, so I got him what he wanted. These phones get really loud, and they have distorted bass reproduction at higher volumes. Mids and highs are barely represented with these toys. The ONLY reason that a person would want to buy these overpriced toys are to satisfy their teenager's desire to be "cool" and wear what the in-crowd is wearing. I have a 10 year old pair of on-ear Bose which reproduce sound much better than these brand new phones. But the Bose don't distort bass and drive it into your head like nails, so the kids don't want them.

Do yourself a favor and go with Bose at high end, or even some JVC for a mid-range alternative. They reproduce music exponentially better than this trinket that Apple is selling.

Oh, and if you do buy these, buy the extended warranty because you will use it. 14 days after my son started using them, they went completely out. Best Buy replaced them like it was habit, no questions asked. I think that we will probably be back at Best Buy at least 10 times for replacements over the next 24 months. In comparison, my 10 year old Bose are exactly the same pair that I bought that long ago, and sound even better as time goes on. Let this company die a slow death so that they will stop pushing this toy as a real man's headphone.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
