So like every other Bose product, it's not that's it's bad, it just isn't worth the price?

I love my QC3's, I'm just disappointed I didn't know about these back at Christmas when I got my QC3's.

You guys can knock them, but I love them. No longer do I have to turn up regular headphones to full volume to hear the shows on my PMP on an airplane (over the noise of the plane and the crying babies).

Jesus... $300? I'm the first to admit that I'm not an audiophile but I would like to get some good headphones... is this what the "good" ones cost??

Actually I really wouldn't mind getting you going (platonically speaking), I'm the king of noobs when it comes to audio.

@Gaucho85: In point of fact, your $300 gets you either the typical Bose low-fi, hi-gimmick, slushy sound quality headphone, or it gets you close to audio nirvana from companies like Grado, Sennheiser, or AKG. Your choice, of course.

A lot of great albums were mixed on Yamaha NS-10m's, but not because they sound all that great in and of themselves, but because they (1st theory) replicate shitty home stereo speakers, or (2nd theory) have deficiencies that make you compensate by pumping up desirable frequencies, or (3rd theory) became a reference monitor because they were everywhere, or (4th theory) are sometimes paired with insanely great amplifiers that could draw blood from a stone.

But saying something doesn't sound as good as a NS-10 studio monitor isn't all that reassuring considering NS-10m's kind of sound like crap.
