Let's talk about Bose Headphones

In the 80s every high end stereo store had a copy of Steely Dan's New Frontier to demo their equipment. This was the first song ever digitally recorded and really shows off stereo equipment. Hvae have it downloaded in my Audi A8, of course.

Umm, the album is Nighfly by Donald Fagen, not Steely Dan. DULLARD. And Ry Cooder beat Fagen to digital recording by a year or two on Bop til You Drop.

I don't drive an Audi, but they kind of suck.

The old wired ones work, but triple A batteries, c'mon. Also, the left ear cushion became detached after a week.

The wireless ones lost stereo capability within a week, and no firmware update helps.

Am I the only asshole who bought Bose and still subscribes to Sharpers Image?

I have a wired set of Bose headphones that I won in a drawing. They worked decent and lasted ok for about four years... Then the noise cancelling stopped working (it was already kind of annoying replacing the battery all of the time but whatever) and now the left ear muff is torn open.

I'm not an audiophile so I'd say they've worked well for what they are.

Zero chance I'd pay 400 bucks to buy them though.

I use Bose noise cancelling headphones on plane when I listen to audible books...

I use Sony MDR-7506 for doing studio editing on music.

I use Klipsch HP-3 for home music listening......these were a gift. In no uncertain terms would I ever spend this much money on headphones...

My wife bought me a pair of wireless ones and they are top notch. It doesn't take a whole lot to pleaseme sonically with headphones but whenI put these on,I can tell they are quality

Does your Audi have some kind of 'Autopilot' feature? Maybe you can set coordinates to Germany so you can thank them in person.

what does the car do then? play the music like your own personal ipod? Next you will tell the center console is a trapper keeper for all of your faxes.

Little off topic here but I am looking for a set of headphones that take my hearing loss into consideration. Every app that supposedly boosts the volume of your Iphone is no longer available in the US market and all of the headphones now have a max volume setting designed to make sure they do not adversely affect someones hearing. That leaves folks like me that enjoy their music fairly loud out in the cold. Imagine having to use your headphones at low volume and how unsatisfying that is.

Anyone have any suggestions it would be appreciated. Looking for over the ear. Not interested in the bone headphones as they don't stop outside noise.

You could consider an amp, but not sure how convenient that would be on mobile. There are some nice ones that are fairly small.

Edit, something like this
FiiO A3 Portable Headphone Amplifier (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z9BIODA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NNFnEb73408RN

Or TBD could try these, to avoid the middle man bulk of a separate amp.

Your iPhone still has a lightning jack though, doesn't it? The headphones I linked will work through that, and come with the cables. There are other similar phones, less expensive than these.

I am old. I never knew that did anything but charge the phone. Do those headphones have a volume limiter which seems the norm now.
