    Don't be ashamed brother. I owned a set of Bose 901 Series VI for 11 years, and sold them for what I paid for them. Expensive? yes; over-priced? most definitely; enjoyable? thoroughly, in the system I had at the time. Would I ever buy another pair? no.

    I think speakers/headphones are the 1 item in an audio system that people need to choose based on sound; not reputation, not spec sheets, not cost, and definitely not based on reviews alone. Afterall, it's YOUR bucks your laying down, so get what sounds good to you.

    I had a cheapy set of Koss headphones I used in Desert Storm with my CD walkman, and they sounded unbelieveable. Hell, I'd pay 50 bucks for a used set if I could remember what model they were.

    they didn't happen to be the Koss Pro/44a's did they? Man those things rock. They weigh a ton, though.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    All I can remember is that they were light-weight and had blue foam ear pads. Man, when I would play Queensryche "Silent Lucidity" they would make the hair on he back of my neck stand up. Awesome bass for such compact headphones.

    From what i've heard the bose headphones sound pretty nice. I have a set of panasonic headphones that retailed for about 30 bucks that i got while working at CC for 10. The bass response from these is awesome. You feel them move... and they don't distort at those high volumes either. I hooked them up to my onkyo reciever and had the volume up to 85 before there was any distortion and that was on a high bass track too.
