How do the M4U2s compare to the Bose 25?

I owned the Bose and now own the MAU2s. The Bose blocks out noise and is quieter. The M4U2s provides more in-depth, clearer sound and I could hear more details when listening to everthing.

Hi Edward, the Bose 25s have superior noise cancelling, but the sound on the M4U2s is much, much better. They are a bit less comfortable though.

I actually think the M4s are much better from a sound quality perspective. They have great reproduction. I have owned Bose and senheiser noise canceling phones and I would pick the M4s over them.

I can't speak for the Bose units, but he PSB's are very cheaply made. I had a my pair crack twice on me, the second time Amazon was nice enough to just issue me a refund that I used on a set of Beyerdynamics. Honestly, chiming in here since I was so disappointed with the build quality and customer service from PSB ("not our problem, go take it up with the vendor") that I'd steer anyone away from them.

I find the audio to be more realistic than even the Bose headphones. With these PSBs it's like you're standing in the recording studio.

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

I think these sound better than the Bose AE2s but are not as comfortable (the comparison is based on sale price since both are within the same range). These are pretty easy to drive using a portable device and the Bose will need a portable amp to get the sound quality comparable to these (but with lesser pronounced bass). The build quality of this far superior-the AE2s are plagued with cheap touches, down to the carrying pouch.

Best to go to a Bose store and test both units side-by-side. Bring a CD or DVD that offers excellent sound to compare. On the CD side I usually play a smooth jazz disc which really highlights the mids and highs and play at low volume which really tells the story. On the DVD I play an action flick with considerable surround sound audio so you can see how they compare to a 5.1 system. I think you will find the GS system is worth the extra coin as the mids and highs are very clear while they seem muffled on the regular series II system. Yes both systems seem a bit pricey but unless you really want an exceptional 5.1 or 7.1 audio experience the Bose will provide excellent sound.

Hey Hunter, the sound of these cans are much more balanced than the ATH-M50s (with the NC off, naturally). The treble is much less piercing than the m50s, and the low end is much tighter as compared to the m50s. Especially with the price drop, I would say that the ue6000s are a much better buy than m50s given they are comparably priced.

I own both headphones and i can say without a doubt the PRO 700s are a step up from the M50s in sound quality, especially bass. Their drivers are 53mm compared to the m50s 45mm drivers and this can be heard immediately in a comparison test. Comfort wise the m50s win. The PRO 700s are my favorite and can be fitted with the more comfortable M50's pads.

I've only used Bose for an ipod dock. So sorry I can't compare. I am actually back to listening to my skullcandi in ear buds and they sound better than Montster dna. Good luck

I prefer the Fishman. I tested both side by side and the Fishman sounded natural and clear to me. The Bose seemed less clear and processed. However, I've heard from others who prefer the Bose sound. It's mostly subjective.

Don't know about the Bose system, but the Boston Acoustics has a good bass sound without distortion. I use it in my bedroom, mostly to listen to jazz and it has a good balanced sound throughout the ranges. I'm quite pleases with it.

I have had problem on airplanes with people next to me hearing my music - likely because the are a closed earphone design. Batteries aren't rechargeable but seem to last for 20hrs of listening. Audio quality is much better the Bose however Bose has slight better noise canx

So, the sound quality is more warmer. Compact and more comfy for your eara defently i couldnot wear the m80s over 30mins and the gap bewtween ears and the head is more closed go with them beleave me! I had alot of headphones to test and theye are one of the best.

I have no idea how it compares to Bose products; I haven't used Bose headphones. I do feel it isn't quite as soft as the one that come with Sony MDR 7506, but it is still very comfortable. Two of our DJ's have used these as replacements for the OEM pads on Sony MDR7506's and they have been very satisfied with them.

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

I have the m50s limited edition. I prefer the hm5 better just because it's more neutral sounding. M50s is abit v shape to me, where you can hear the high and bass really well but the mid abit laid back. I also think the hm5 have better soundstage. However do note you will need about 100 hours of burning time for the hm5 to get it settled and the sound will change through out the burning process. The other thing I like about the hm5 that it is quite easy to mod. Mine has a cable upgrade and a wood cup now. However if u looking for option should check out Beyer and akg as they also have good stuffs as well just not in the price range of hm5.

I have owned Bose which were a little better at cancelling noise but not near as good on the sound reproduction side. I'de rate the Bose an 8 and the PSBs a 7. I do not hear much once I put them on.

Hello. The sound is pretty good. I just use it as a mobile for when I do massage. I don't have a Bose to compare it with, although if you can fork out the extra bucks for a Bose, I would do that instead. All the sound is good for what I need it for.
