Almost a carbon copy of the Momentum 4 design too. Someone needs to press the reset button at Bose. They used to be respected but I haven’t seen anything good said about these cans yet and if this their advertising, then it is what is.
QC’s was the first time I spent a lot on headphones. I was super happy with them. While I’ve been exposed to better headphones at this point, nothing beats these as far as comfort goes.
Usually means bloated, muffled and overwhelming bass.
Most premium bluetooth headphones nowadays have some good out-of-the-box neutral tuning, even Beats with the Studio Pros. I will admit though Soundstage is lacking for all of them.
You try and write marketing copy for the mass market.
It‘s not easy and impossible for everyone to be happy 😆As a part-time copywriter, can confirm and say that marketing copies are the worst 😭 You have only few sentences or words to work with and need to suit incredibly wide audience.
Though this exact advertisement does make you pay attention to it for longer and remember the headphones for longer. "There’s no such thing as bad publicity” huh
Marketing aside, Bose’s goal is to make money. They simply don’t care what enthusiast think when 99% of their customers are the general populace that have some money to blow.
i used to be like OP but they got to make ad somehow. Now i just know they not my cup of tea and move on, much easier that way
So- yes, it’s a trite way of describing a headphone and most of us here don’t take anything meaningful from that description. But the vast majority of their customers won’t understand the terms ‘soundstage’, ‘frequency response’ or even ‘codec’.
Anything bose sounds like absolute bass bload garbage
“They used to be respected” [press “X” to doubt]
So basically their advertisement worked because they caught your interest and you decided to tell us about it :)
Why does it make you so frustrated. You know better than to buy them and thus will not waste your money. What other people do with their money isn’t relevant to you.
Why would you expect more from Bose?
What are they supposed to say, then? They made a catchphrase that’s short, catchy, and vaguely descriptive.
It’s just a Facebook ad. Calm down.
“OMG they’re awful” sound?
OMGWTFBBQ Sound
OP discovering advertisements for the first time.
They know their customers. Just like the ads from “respected audiophile” brands that just show the headphone, maybe some specs, or a picture in the studio.
That’s terrible. First the colors of that add, orange with purple like wut. But then the way the text clips through the image of the black headphone. That’s bad. Why is the O so ridiculously huge. And what does “more than just a present” even mean, you could say that about literally every single thing in the world.
Look for some gaming headphone ads. They’re a lot more OMG.
