Anyone try the bose headphones in the Apple stores?

They felt really comfortable and it really drowned out alot of the noise. What other similar headphones are there that are cheaper? From what i hear around here , Bose is way overpriced.

Sennheisers, look for models with price range in mind.

Look at sennheiser, grado, there's a couple sony models that are nice.

(There are plenty of others too, I'm not a headphone expert)

From the sounds of it he's looking for something that provides decent isolation, Grados definitely do not.

A decent pair of circumaural closed headphones would probably best emulate what Bose has.

Sennheiser's "Open-Aire" is not circumaural closed right?

Sony MDR-V6 (~$65) is what I use to listen to mp3's and play games. I love them.

If you're more serious about your audio and have money to spend, you might want to go with a little more expensive Sennheisers.

Be sure and get a headphone that is comfortable. It doesn't matter how great the headphone sounds if you can't even stand to wear it for any decent length of time. ie. I first purchased a pair of Grado SR60, but these type of headphone rest completely on top of your ear. I couldn't stand for my ears to be pushed down for very long and have since sold the SR60's on ebay and bought the pair of Sony V6's.

I have sennheiser HD280pros that are nice for isolation.

One thing I like about the bose headphones that its smaller than most of these headphones. Does sony make one thats similar?
