Reviews for Bose MIE2i Mobile Headset

having just parted with £100 for these I am not that impressed. Sound quality is nice if you are in quiet room. I used them at the gym and all I can hear was the noise around me and not my music. I am going to give them a bit longer but not that impressed...once opened and used I cannot send back so ebay it is....

I wake up to music from my Bose speakers everyday and they make my day. Expecting nothing less than epic sound and great bass from these earphones, I bought these for my Ipad. What better combination could it be other than legendary sound product meeting the legendary Ipad. Absolutely delighted to have these, and I had actually returned B&O in ear earphones for these and they are fabulous as always. Sorry B&O this time Bose is the BOSS.

If you're in a silent room listening to these, then they sound fine. Nothing amazing, just fine. Walk outside the front door and the birds singing drown out the music. You will hear everything going on around you and the music takes second fiddle. No pun intended. Build quality is fine, the remote is a bit fiddly as you have to look at it to check which button is which. The three different sized ear pieces - and I've tried them all, really don't help the isolation of external sound and I've given up with them. They for the most part sound as though you've really nice ear buds on, but they're at a point of being not in your ear properly and so the sound sounds thin. I've stuck them on ebay... some mug'll buy em... After all, I did!

Well what can I say, these are amazing headphones. I was blown away the first time I listened to music through them - jumping up and down with goosebumps...yes I am that much of an anorak!

Having been given the Beats/Dr Dre earphones as a birthday gift and being bitterly disappointed with the sound quality and the fit - and then for the remote control to break and the sound to become crackly after only a couple of months - I returned them for a full refund. There was no way that I wanted the same headphones again, very poor in my opinion (unless you only listen to bass heavy music and don't have sensitive ears).

Having researched online and asked friends for their advice/opinion, I opted for the Bose MIE2i's - incidentally the same price as the Dr Dre earbuds.

I was not disappointed,. They deliver a sublime, intense, warm sound - like walking around with a top notch stereo system strapped to your ears. Plus, they are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried.

These would have received five stars had it not been for the fact that after only a few days use, the Play/Pause button on the remote control has broken completely. I'm hoping that this is not a common problem and I've just been unlucky. As I intend to take them back to the Apple Store for a replacement. Has anyone else had this problem with them?

Other than this issue, I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Bought these replacing a set of ibeats which the bud fell off in my ear and needed surgically removing. I'm so glad that happened because these outclass the beats in every way. More comfortable, much more detailed, rich and vibrant bass. tremendous clarity that lets your ears breathe. Sounds like listening to a hifi for the most part and a good one at that! Been for a fantastic 4 mile walk today half of which came back along a busy road. Yup, I could hear the cars, but with the volume I was listening to (a bit quieter that concert level) it wasn't a distraction from the music at all. Played Franz ferdinand, Elbow, Beatles, Thompson Twins, Oasis, Julian Cope, the Shins sound amazing on them, as does Enya's first album. There's a bit at the beginning of Spitfire by public service announcement where a plane flies through the middle of your head, made me duck first time. Have been addicted to these over the past few weeks, unlike any headphones I've ever used.

Very comfortable, stay in the ear and you will forget they are there: no pressure like from the ones that go inside your ear canal.
Lack base, the rest of the sound spectrum is fine.
Now, why only two stars? The remote control is not as easy to use as in Klipsch head phones, for example. The shape of the buttons is not instantaneously registering in your fingers, you don't know if you are pressing back of the remote or the side with the buttons, or if you are pressing the middle button or one of the other, volume up/down, buttons. It is like one long button split in three. Yes, you can operate the remote control (while it still works) but not in a hurry.
But OK, its acceptable, until it stops working. And it happened two months after the purchase. If they cost £10 then I could forgive them, but not for £120!

Perfect upgrade from my previoustly lost apple in-ear headphones. Powerfull but not overboard bass, amazing detail and great sound quality. A hefty price but well worth it. A very good purchase.

Got my headphones today from apple for my iPhone 4s, and my 02 iPods, All what i can say is Wow ! Buy them Buy them Buy them....., Sound excellent, Quality excellent, looks excellent, worth every penny, if you are looking for perfection in sound, the MIE2i are the ones to get regardless of any BOSE haters, and make sure you order them from APPLE, best service ever, the bass is extraordinary, the music is fantastic, you will enjoy every second when you wear them. i can go on and go on and go on, but no point, they are the best headphones that i ever own, had so many different expensive other types but these ones are just the number one.
Thank you APPLE for your service and for your time keeping, i will always deal with you no matter what and i am a faithful user of yours.

Benn struggling for years to find good headphones that would actually fit my ears without popping out all the time. These headphones are brilliant for everyday use and even when exercising (running). They have never fallen out, and when music stops you simply forget that the plugs are still in your ears. No discomfort AT ALL. Price is high but they are worth it.

Originally bought the B and W C5's. They look cool and feel really solidly built, but I just couldn't stand using them. I find proper in ear buds really uncomfortable and constantly fiddle with them which makes them even more uncomfortable/ painful to wear. Apple took them back, gave me the MIE2i's instead and refunded the difference to my card - great customer service. The MIE2i's are so much more user friendly. They sound incredible but without the tight fit required of many other ear buds. A great buy. Do it!
