To be honest I like the way Bose systems sound, and I expected the headphones to sound the same.

I don't mind paying the price if the product is good enough.

I want headphones that are light, well made, closed back, full over ear and sound good with the Karma (I like bass). The Triports just didn't hit the mark for the money, if they had been £50 I would have got them, but like I said if I'm paying that much they have to be reakky special.

On the topic of other Bose stuff, I think the sound matches the price you pay. I like the way the systems look and sound. The ones I have setup and played with in the past have had a cheap feel to them (like the Triports do), for example the RCA leads are chaep and nasty and they had spring clips on a £1.5k system. But when it was setup it sounded amazing, and thats what counts I guess.

Cheers

Cris.
