A in-depth look at the Bose-On Ear headphones with my views on the positive and negative points.

Below are the songs I use to test headphones. Most of them are in Tamil (my native language) but if you are music lovers, I am sure you won't mind the language barrier and might even grow to like these songs! ;) Also these headphones are wonderful for watching movies but I feel music is the ultimate test for headphones.

Hope you guys enjoy the review!

  • man your review is the real deal!!! any idea how hip hop, rap sounds on those beasts?

  • @denieru90 : Hip Hop and Rap sounds very good as the bass and beats are crisp and clear. No issues. I listen to Eminem and Notorious BIG and they sound awesome.

  • good review man! one question. Im in the middle of choosing bose OE and Beats by Dre solo. Did you every try on the beats? If so, which do you recommended between them and bose?

  • @sufaeva : Personally I feel that the Beats by Dre is just too much bass compared to the Bose. I tried it at BestBuy and wasn't much impressed. I like their design and comfort but in terms of sound it doesn't beat the Bose OE.

  • Sol Republics rulz .. best headphones for 99 bucks

  • Hello,there is a new model it's called OE2 they are for 150$ they look alot better with the new cable.

  • hey i was thinking about getting these are a pair of beats...which one should i can theres not really that big of a price difference them but i want a good quality pair!!!1

  • Amazing rewiew! helped alot thanks

  • hi :) loved ur review. i m even frm India :D actually i play the keyboard..so i was wondering whether these wud go good with it..

    

  • Thank you my curry friend

  • @gustibabueno Yeah, I just got them for $86 with price drop and gift card. Btw, @knaadhan thanks for the review. It definitely helped make my decision!

  • @iElite1023 I've listened to the 3 pairs of beats (solo, studio and pro) and I got really disappointed with the sound quality of the 3 of them. You're right that the pros are the best pair of the line but for 399 the sound quality still lacks a lot of detail. I've heard better headphones at a lower price range like the audio technicas ath-M50s and the beyerdinamics DT 770 Pro that perform way better than the beats pro and they're under 200, so yeah Beats aren't a option.

  • @26148549 okay, I can agree with the bass. But have you actually listened to beats before? Based of what you just said, it sounds like you've never even picked up a pair (other than solos) Listen to Pros and see, Pros are pretty much the only good pair.

  • @iElite1023 i think you listened the wrong ones 'cause actually this headphones have lots of bass, sometimes it becomes overpowered. The instrument separation is not awesome but it's pretty good for the size of the drivers. Beats are bad, the only thing you hear is bass, no instrument separation and muddled highs and mids... nope beats aren't a option.
