Bose QuietComfort 20 vs Shure SE112

Bass is good enoughish, could be better. CONS: Noise cancel does deliver a slight pressure like if you were going down a mountain and the attitude changes. 1 year warranty is BS from Bose, it should be 2 years at least. Earbuds wire to Y wire is thin and the battery box to the jack is even thinner, probably going to break

Yes, I know there's different sleeves, none seem "just right." I cannot get a good fit, so the noise cancellation aspect fails.

He has that speaker since 2016 and it still looks great and sounds amazing, no matter the genre. Also looked at what JBL had to offer in the same $ range, but when I showed the speaker, (JBL Boombox) he said that the sound will be very distorted - and this sub' says the same about BOSE.

The sound that comes out of these doesn't sound that great to me, the headphones that came with my iPod sound much better as do the $15 dollar pair of sport headphones i've got. I wasn't expecting anything great, but i didn't think it'd sound worse than the cheap headphones i've already got. The instructions say that if there seems to be a lack of low frequency bass to try another tip, i've gone back and forth between all 3 several times and tried positioning the headphones in different positions but the bass always sounds muffled. But that's not really why i bought these and even if the sound wasn't perfect i could live with that

These are also so, so, very, extremely comfortable for my ears. I broke into the oval eartips fairly quickly and I love the design. They don't get stuffy at all, compared to my 75t which started making my ear canals feel funny after an hour. (Don't get me wrong, those were also super comfortable

After about 4 months of regular use one of the channels started to buzz a bit, and I've been in the unenviable position of having to twist the cable and position it 'just so' to avoid crackling and cutting in and out on the right channel. I could forgive the comfort issues due to the sound quality and isolation, but it just was a constant struggle to find the balance between ear pressure comfort with the seal and getting them into 'just the right position' for it not to be uncomfortable, even trying different tips nothing felt as comfortable. The cord seemed very heavy duty, but obviously it has it's issues as after only 4 months one side is beginning to fray. Wouldn't recommend unless you can try in person and will be using these in a very mild, non-active fashion and isolation is a must

and I like how it fits in my ears.

I am puzzled, though, after reading so many positive reviews of these SE112s at professional/amateur audiophile web sites. In my opinion, they are middle-of-the-line in the sub-50$ segment and you can definitely do better. I am not an audio professional, but have been playing musical instruments as a hobby for over 20 years and have a trained ear. I certainly see myself using these earphones in noisy environments, but not with a DAC or when relaxing - their sound signature is not what I was looking for

The con, a big one, is durability. As one user said, their obsolescence is as certain as clockwork. I had to return my first pair six months ago, now after a year and six months, my second pair has begun to falter. On average, they last about 8-9 months before one of the earphones starts being funky

I waited to write a review for the earphones as I wanted to see the performance over a longer period. It's been 11 months since I bought them .i bought two pairs, one for a friend. Both of us experienced the same issue

The biggest downside to these buds is the price and the sound, I was really expecting a much. much better sound coming from $250 earphones. Don't get me wrong, these by no means sound bad, but they don't sound great either.

I'm a pro audio guy thats tried probably 30 IEM's/Chifi headphones over the last few months. I didn't test these critically so I'm not sure if they best the cheap market there, however, in terms of fit and sound they are not worth the money. If you're limited to this level of spending, you might try the 'chifi' market, like a CCA C10 or go for something like the Sennheiser IE 4 instead, which is surprisingly good but bass heavy. I wouldn't recommend these, the fit was painful, the accessories were OK, the isolation wasn't special and the sound was pretty poor - sort of that old-gen dynamic sound pushed to its limits - dark, bass heavy, and muddy in the mids
