Bose vs Beats

[chuckles_the_cnt]

some focal bathys on special at e-piphany. bt headphones are for the large part an unknown to me. focal does make decent wired headphones, but at this price range i'll refrain from suggestions.
you could always get a bt dac like a fio btk5 and hook that up to a decent set of cans, but walking around with headphones on is not a look i'd go for
tws earphones - some acceptable ones can be found

Had three pairs of different beats over the years, they all broke just as warranty ended. Won’t touch beats ever!

Yet you did it three times...

Imagine if Bose and Beats were to merge. The resulting product would be called “Boets”, and would only play Techno.

Can't really compare Beats to Bose. Had a pair of Beats once and they started to fall apart in a relatively short time. Sound quality was good though, not Bose quality but alright.

I really want the XM5's but man R8k is expensive.

How much better are the 5s to the 4 I wonder? The 4s were considered class leading.

The XM5s don’t fold

Galaxy Buds 2 were 1499 from samsung last week. Just checked and they are no longer available for that price... but maybe they will go cheap again soon.
