Although Bose makes decent speakers once in awhile, they are perhaps the most overrated consumer electronics company in the world. You can get much better speakers for less money.
That sounds eerily like what windows people say about macs.

This is so unbelievably fake! I don't believe people would think this is real! Just look at it-- Jony Ive's head looks all wrong, and he's wearing a suit? If you blow the video up to full screen you can see how they made it all blurry to try and hide the photoshop work.
I'm surprised they didn't try filming this in an elevator...
No Mac was ever as expensive as the IIfx anyway...\

BOSE is all name.... their products are so-so.
There is a reason why they never publish their specs on their speakers... because they aren't that great.
Except he kept trying to say the backside of the TAM looked elegant. That looked truly terrible.

Compared to what?I've got a small Bose system on my computer desk, and it sounds incredible.
And?Seriously, we get spam on the board and all we can do is Vote it up?
Yes!
I like Better Off with Something Else.
Paradigm speakers and Ultimate Ears in-ear monitors are far better than anything BOSE or Beats will produce. Also a myth that audiophile sound gear costs an arm and a leg too.
No
Compared to? Last I looked Ultrabooks were struggling to meet Apple’s MSRP; 10" tablets were struggling to meet the iPad MSRP. There are pieces of Apple’s line-up that are grossly overpriced (Airport, most of their cables & adapters), but a like for like comparison Apple is rarely “way” overpriced and often right inline with comparable products.
Apple yes, Bose no. Now Bang & Olufsen*…
Not every profession requires a 12-core Itanium with 64GB of RAM and a petabyte of storage. Louis C.K. edits his television show on a 13" Macbook Pro. I’d wager he does more on that “consumer class” P.C. than most people who post here.
Compared to? Again last time I looked there’s no AIO that competes with the new iMac, there’s nothing even remotely close to the retina Powerbooks or MacBook Airs, nor the new iPad or the iPhone 5.
Thin & light has never been part of the Bose experience. Maybe small, but not thin & light.

Agreed.
Bose is the reason that at a store I worked at customers coming into purchase surround sound systems for their homes (the fancy kind installed in walls and such) had to listen to at least three different speaker systems before being allowed to purchase and schedule installs.
Before the requirement people would buy off of name and come back unsatisfied (the no highs no lows, must be bose is a pretty accurate tag line) and afterwards we never sold a single Bose system (at least to my knowledge).
They're just not good, they're average at best but great at marketing.
Are you retarded?
Sigh. After a full four pages, I figured today was the day that everyone in the same thread had a sense of humor.What's fake? The computer? The footage? Don't really get your post.

no I agree. I don't have bose anything except for the sounddock which i got for free.
But I can't agree that UE is as appealing to consumers as beats.
Simply untrue. Their speakers are great quality and sound amazing.
Pricey? Yes.
S so? Nope.

Get your ears checked then.
I'd agree about Bose, but the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 pro I bought about 5 years ago was the biggest waste of $350 I've spent on any audio gear. Overdone bass, terrible ergonomics and just plain awful. I still have them floating around somewhere unused. It convinced me that anything other than a single armature canal phone, like the Etymotic ER-4P, is just a gimmick.
That said, some people love them, but I would question their taste in audio reproduction.
