[QUOTE="Meyvn, post: 690960, member: 7539"] By 'inferior,' I mean inferior compared to other things priced the same or lower. I do agree that if they were priced much lower, they would be more comparable, but I think it would take more reduction the farther you go up their line. I think a reasonable pricing scheme would be: $35 for the TriPorts and on-ears, $50 for the QC2 and QC3, and $45 for the in-ear. Sonically I don't think that their headphones improve as you go up, and I think a $150-200 comfort and "noise cancelling" premium is not worth it. By the way, if the ones you get have an inline volume control (I think that all of them do these days), you can "mold" the sound a bit by fiddling with that. From my experience, the lower you put the volume on the headphones themselves, the bassier they get, and the higher you put the volume, the clearer the mids and highs get. It's not a MASSIVE difference, but it's pretty noticeable, I think. [/QUOTE]
