I'm looking at getting a pair of bose AE2i price of £109.00

 

I saw that there is also bose Soundtrue AE that are around £149.99, what i would like to know is is there any actual difference in them or is the Soundtrue just a refresh of the other pair ?

They are decent but for that price you could prob get a pair of HD 558s or even 598s when on sale

I support this. There's nothing special about Bose headphones. If anything they're a brand to stay away from when it comes to headphones - in my opinion.

They are half the price of the HD558s. Even with the Sennheisers on sale, the Bose cans are $99.

Also they are completely different. The sennheisers are open. The Bose are closed. You can't compare them.

You're right by saying you can't really compare the two, but the 558s are $122 on amazon my son.

They are on sale, usually they are around, $180. I personally own 558s and wouldn't recommend them for anyone planning on using them in public.

BUY

OTHER

SOUND

EQUIPMENT 

 

you forgot,

bose blows

bose: better sound through marketing

no highs, no lows, must be bose

 

 

anyway back to the op

if you travel a lot and need isolation, and can't use/dislike using iem's, then I might look into bose's quietcomfort line.

otherwise I'd push for another brand.

Will work for electronic components and parts
