Which headphones I should buy? Beats by Dr. Dre Tour or Bose In-Ear?

February 13th, 2010 | by admin |

I wan’t to know which one I should buy because I’m bored of always buying new headphones because my cheap ones broke so I wan’t headphones that will stand for long. I saw that Beats by Dr. Dre Tour and Bose In-Ear are good also but witch are the best. I wan’t good basse, good respond and headphone that the cable won’t make node easily when in my pocket. I saw that the Bose are 50$ cheaper but are they better. Thanks for an answer.
I just saw that bose are not in-ear so I would like people to tell me which are other good brands for headphones but not Sennheiser because I had bad experience with them. Thanks.

Don’t trust the reviews on Amazon, they’re written largely by people who compare headphones to stock iPod earbuds, which are terrible.

Bose In-Ears sound horrible, I wouldn’t recommend it. First of all, they don’t seal off outside noise because they have an open back and allow in a lot of noise, defeats the purpose of an in-ear headphone design. The bass is over-emphasized and muddy.

Dr. Dre Tour is OK, at best. Way overpriced, and the sound quality is not that great in the lows, mids, or highs. You are paying for the brand in this case too.

Sennheiser makes some great earpad, and circumaural headphones. They also make very well-regarded higher end in ear headphones, specifically the IE7, IE8. Those would be pretty expensive, and I’m guessing out of your price range. Unfortunately, Sennheiser’s lower end In-ear products don’t cut it in terms of sound quality.

I would check out the Klipsch Image S4s, they are comfortable, have plenty of well-defined bass, robust cables, clear mids, decent highs, and an overall pleasing sound. They can run around $70 retail, but outpeform the Dres and Bose. Klipsch’s oval shaped ear-gels are surprisingly comfortable and very easy to get a good "seal" with, this is key to getting the right sound from an in-ear headphone.

My review of the S4s is on my website.. www.theheadphone.net, I am just an enthusiast, don’t work in Industry. If you want more recommendations, please leave a comment with your e-mail on my site, and I can help you out

Another recommendation that’s slightly cheaper is the Nuforce NE-7M, it’s got rich bass and reasonably balance across the rest of the audible spectrum. The cable is incredibly robust and hassle free.

The reason I recommend the Klipsch S4s, is because you can use the stock tips, or use several aftermarket tips such as Comply Foams intended for the product or Shure Black foam sleeves. These help tweak the sound and fit around. The nozzle size is just right for that. On top of this, the S4s were designed to minimize distortion acting upon the diaphragm, and the result is an incredibly smooth presentation for a dynamic headphone in this price range.

    I cannot say anything about the Beats by Dr. Dre Tour, but I can about the Bose.

    The Bose are really good because they provide lots of full feeling sound. If you are looking into having "bass" then the Bose are excellent. They ar ealso very comfortable because they aren’t really "in-ear". They sit on the bowl of your ear, it also comes with a "running strap" that secures them if you go for run or do lots of moving around.

    One other brand you should consider is Sennheiser, they have the best user reviews and that does say something about their products. (for the in-ear the IE series is the best)
