Bose Headphones

[Junk Parts]

Well here is the deal. I used to buy the "Dollar Store" over the ear headphones. I had this one cat that loved to bite the cords right off them. She fixed one pair of these for me while I was using them with her on my lap. She will no longer be a problem since a fox killed her last spring.
I bought something called "Trisonic" at Wallmart. They were inexpensive. They sounded OK but are just way too tight on my head. These did last long anyway because the sliding hinges on both sides of the head band broke.
Next I got these things from Koss at Wallmart. They fit well but never sounded all that great. Some how I managed to step on them and broke both earmuffs off the headband.
Yesterday I found a pair of Bose AE2 headphones for $99.00 at BJ's Wholesale. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/...ae2_headphones
They sounded good on the store display. Are these things worth buying?

Re: Bose Headphones

Compared to their speakers, Bose headphones are good for the price. Idk how well they'll play with your cats tho, there are reports of them being fragile.

Re: Bose Headphones

Fragile means they are a no go around here. What my cats don't bust I will...LOL Maybe I'll look at Sony's products. Had a pair of their very good ones years ago. Maybe they still make them today.

Re: Bose Headphones

Does anyone know where to buy parts for the Koss Ur/29 headphones? All I need are the two little inside plastic brackets that lock the muffs to the headband. I did a quick repair with black electical tape and all is well for now. I can't see spending real money when $5 or so bucks worth of plastic doodads will fix everything. Its a known fact now that I shouldn't step on my headphones.

Re: Bose Headphones

If you want quality sound, I really recommend testing some Sennheiser headphones.

They have excellent sound and some models have everything removable or replaceable.

I have a Sennheiser HD 212 Pro (probably no longer available as it's about 2 years old) which has removable cable and I actually ordered two cables separately to replace it.

It's not a bad cable or design that needs to be replaced often, it's headphones designed for DJs so it's just very long (3 meters/ 10 feet) and I accidentally step with the chair feet on it
