    Default Bose Noise Cancellation HeadPhones

    So today, I was considering buying a pair of Bose headphones since at work Im always listening and watching podcasts, and listening to music. However, before I shelled out the 150+ dollars for a set I went to Wal-Mart (had to go anyways), and I saw a pair of Maxell Noise Cancellation headphones. Price...39.00. Now, at Best Buy I tried the Bose and I loved them, and was really tempted to buy them. But I decided to try the Maxell's first, and if I didnt like them, Id probably take them back and get the Bose. Well, they sound identical and I barely heard ANY difference between the sets. The styling on the Maxell's look very simliar to the Bose units. I just saved a ton of cash, and honestly now believe you're paying for the name.

    maxell compared to boss? there isa diff..

    now if theres a 110$ difference. no..

    But there def is a diff in sound quality and build quality and noise cancellation.

    I personally tho instead of going super cheap or stupid bose went with Sennheiser set. Specifically the HD-280 headphones. Their huge.. Not small profile tho but that makes them extremely comfortable and they work amazing with amazing sound quality. you can find them online for around 75. - 85
