Saying that a $6 pair of Radio Shack headphones is equal to the Bose lessens any value I might otherwise give your opinion on this issue. You and I both know that isn't true.

a) i thought you couldnt tell the difference between bose and sennheiser. if this is true i GUARANTEE you wouldnt think bose sound significantly better than crappy radioshack headphones.
b) I am 100% serious in saying that radioshack headphones would sound as good as bose. I have a/b/c'd:
-bose triport
-radioshack generic headphone
-sennheiser 19 dollar headphone

with a group of "audiophiles". Pretty much everyones order of sound quality was 3-2-1. People will ask if this was blind, but it really cant be, since even if you close your eyes you can tell the difference in feel between the headbands.
c) First you argue that you cant tell the difference between say your bose headphones and "audiophile" headphones. Then i point out that audiophile headphones are cheaper AND sound better while also telling you that pretty much any cheaper headphone will sound better. Then you tell me that it wont sound better and that youre sure of this. I just dont understand what does and doesnt make a difference to you. You pretty much emphasize the point that bose are awesome, but you cant tell differences in sound quality. Then what is awesome about them? They have no bass, tinny treble and a horrid dynamic range. I guess the fact that they do noise cancellation is nice, but sennheiser has multiple noise cancelling phones that i believe are all cheaper than the bose. I just dont understand why ANYONE buys bose. marketing i guess?
