Is BOSE Worth The Money? - Page 2

I never buy BOSE. i'd love to see them go bankrupt for overcharging for sound equip.

NO SET OF HEADPHONES should cost $500!!! plus yes, i have heard them. and nope, the Sony cheapies i have sound just as nice if not better for $20.

The WAVE Radio is sucky, if you're using it for a home theatre. sure it's small. but i've heard more bass from a Multiplex from the late '60s. for far less.

BOSE is just another Rolex. for different stuff. Rolex is stupid too. it's a watch. nothing more. i will never see justification or any reason to be 'hot' by paying $10-grand for a watch that does nothing more than tell time just like any old watch. it doesn't tell weather, or ZULU, or anything to be worth paying that much for. as for rich people showing off such high dollar brands, i tell them 'what? you love bragging about wasting money?'

Make a test. Listen to the speakers. And take the speakers which sound best for your ears.

Do not buy because of a name. Choose because you like the sound and the quality of work.

That is the way to find out which is best for you.

same here. if i tested out a Kirby upright vacuum and then a simple $80 Bissel, and the Bissel did more and felt nicer, why pay more for something that does less and weighs a ton and costs 4 times more?

Besides, BOSE name brand items show up all the time at Goodwill for $10 LOL including a big Zenith TV with a Hi-Fi Bose speaker system that only went for $40 there.

But it's Doctor Bose we're talking about here.

I bought a car with a bose system in it 2-3 years ago. Sounded good, but not for the premium they charged me. I've tested a few of their cube speaker surround systems, but not worth the premium again. Ask any Home Theater purist about Bose and I swear this is the face you'll see -

The best thing is not to go with the name but to go with the quality of the speakers. Make a review about the speaker quality from the people who had already bought and using it. I think you will get a picture after that whether to buy a specific brand or not.

$500 for a bunch of headphones? Wow that is just silly indeed, it's like a notebook's price lol

DTVuser2009 · 05-03-2009, 02:08 PM

but they give you a FREE set of speaker stand with the purchase of their headphones! gee i guess i HAVE to buy it now! (joke)

I bought a new mini-notebook computer for guess what? $200. it was on sale at Staples for $199.99. 160GB Hard Drive, Wi-Fi, webcam, multi-in-one card reader, 1GB RAM, Windows XP Home.

Not a bad deal for a small computer i can use easily at hotspots. i'd wonder what BOSE would charge had they went further and made computers.

@DTVuser2009

Are you joking?

How mini is your mini-notebook with 160GB Hard Drive, Wi-Fi, webcam, multi-in-one card reader, 1GB RAM, Windows XP Home includes?

Sounds nearly to good to be true.

Acer Aspire One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now it's going for $299 now. when i got mine it was some promo or something. they're called 'netbooks' and are perfect if you live near or jump to/from wireless hotspots as i do.

That is a smoking price, but I can't use anything smaller than 11.1" screen size.
