The deal with Bose is a few things.
One, they've ridden the coattails of the legitimate recognition that they received in the 80's/early 90's for their speakers and amplification systems.
two, the use a lot of signal processing to color the sound of their speakers/headphones so that they sound more dramatic to consumers that are looking for headphones for personal use. I think Bose headphones are good for just listening to very compressed digital music files, but I would never ever mix with them, or use them on an analog system or for primarily analog recordings because they are so biased and inaccurate. I still think they're decent headphones, but They don't sound anywhere as good as the price tag would lead me to believe. Most of what you're buying is a name.
