When I graduated from college, a family friend gave me a pretty good size gift certificate to amazon.com and I blew on the bose triports. This was the first substantial investment I had made in a pair of headphones and I thought they were amazing. I wore them for years and years until the leatherette on the earpads began to flake off giving me the dreaded "black dandruff." Eventually, I ended up with the px100 as my replacement, as they sounded great and were pretty cheap. I used them for a long time, then one day, I tried them against the triports. I couldn't believe how bad the triports sounded in comparison - there was no compeitition. That's when I realized that all the bose bashing on the audiophile forums was authentic. I will give comfort to the triports though, talk about a minimalistic, lightweight, and comfortable design!
