They are supposed to keep in sound and keep out noise very well and have a replaceable cable to avoid that loose connection over time that makes only one speaker work. £70 roughly and most people rightly rate sennheiser. I have their cx500 in ear ones and they're very good and have stood up to about 4 years of use 5 days a week

Audiophiles don't like them because there is nothing to argue about or have pretentious opinions about - they just pump out good sound. End of!

Fantastic package, easily accessible, look great, very desirable, very expensive.
There is technically better stuff out there, for cheaper.
I could argue all day why you should choose one over the other, but at the end of the day with all these things it's what suits you.
Go and try a few. See what sounds right for your ears.

I'm an audiophile nutter who has spent far too much £Â£ on phones, but I will say this about Bose:
They look good, noise canceling works well, are well made and (if you're not an audiophile nutter) you will find the sound more than good enough. I used to install commercial Bose systems and for the average listener (i.e. not insane audiophile) they are great.
If you want to go down the audiophile route, and want zero leakage without spending a lot of money, at least try out some Etymotics. The HF5 is superb for the price.
As for me, I've just got some Lawton Audio tuned Denon D7000 cans.
