    Creative sounds more like the source material, but the Bose is more crisp. Question is what will happen when one would do some equalizing... Pretty sure the Creative has a bass heavy signature.

    I prefer the bose regardless of whether they differ from the source material. I’m doing all I can to not go Bose but they outperform most speakers. The creatives sound really cheap in comparison, but they are way more expensive.

  • @kesamek8537
    @kesamek8537 Před 4 lety +9

    Compared to the source (the truth) that Bose sounds horribly scooped and hyped in the treble/bass but it can be saved with some eq. I used to have a pair and the amount of eq needed was quite a lot to tame the excessive treble/bass and missing mids. T100 sound like they need less help to sound true.

  • @bluerainbug
    @bluerainbug Před 3 lety +10

    Any decent speaker should sound faithful to the recording, then dial in your taste of EQ. Bose already sounds like they're tweaked as heck from the factory and need to be dialed back. I'm for Creative on this round.

    T100 rules because of the optical output and Bluetooth and PowerOn LED. Sound is nearly the same. Bose should really update their Companion Series .....

  • @ryanperrault8174

    I have the Bose.....Put a sock in the back of the holes of each speaker and it dampens the Bass to a more flat level, and makes them better for mixing, while still keeping a solid amount of bass. Don't have to EQ as much then.

    Hard to tell off of this audio comparison (because we're going off of our audio sources and are not in the room, lol) , but I sounds to me, something in between these audio ranges would hit the right spot.
    The Creatives sound close to the source, but lack some highs. Bose sounds nice n punchy (good bass) but too colorful (highs need tweaking).
    Too bad the Bose are only available in silver. If they had black, I'd get them.
