I think most people may or may not realize that once you get into this price/level of headphones, you should really get a dedicated DAC and headphone amp. I know you can probably get away with just plugging them into your home stereo or computer output, but it's limiting what these can really do.
Great price. I am very tempted, but I have too many headphones already, according to my wife...
I have these, bought them on sale a year ago at $499 and have seen them at $429 recently. This is the best price I've seen for them.

Are these better than Bose and can they be used for talking on phone
I'd wager that most audiophile headphones from companies like focal/sennheiser/hifiman/etc are likely going to sound better than Bose for the money.
If you find the right kind of cable that has an inline mic (you could get a short 3.5mm y-cable to single 3.5 trs and then a 3.5 trs -3.5 trrs with mic) you could use these as a headset, but it may well be awkward.
Hifiman deva may be a better fit for you, but these are certainly better made and probably look better too.

Thanks I will look. Is that beat option for music and for work calls?
