    After buying and trying several headphones/headsets, I think I finally found the one I've been looking for. Sounds great and feels so comfortable.

    I bought these with the expectation that they would sound good, and the ear tip design would help them actually stay in my ears while jogging. My expectations were right. They stay in my ears without constant adjusting and sound good too. Great thing is you can get replacement ear tips from Bose for about $6 too. I would highly recommend.

    I tried the Beats, Bowers & Wilkins, Klipsh and Bose gave me more for my money simply the best quality sound.

    Amazing headphones

    Much better than any expensive headphones I've owned. I love the little silicon part that helps the headphones stay in the ear. I can run with them and not even feel them. Great bass as well, something apple's headphones are missing. Really happy with Bose products.

    Really Great!

    These headphones are amazing! They're like wearing giant over-ear headphones, with great sound quality, but without being so inconvenient! They can go very loud without being uncomfortable, and keeping quality in check. A definite good buy!

    well i just got these from Best Buy.. and i would say that these earbuds LACK THE most important thing and That is the BOSE sound quality.

    Pros: Excellent Fit, good cable and Finish.. Plays some genre well

    COns: lack deep sound and Bass... and the QUALITY OF SOUND..

    Depends on different user.. i am looking for SOUND QUALITY AND BASS... and these doesnt give me...

    I wanted 3 things: great sound, fits well in the ear, & will stay in the ear while I'm active...3 for 3--highly recommend! Silicone ear piece fits in the ear without the "something's jammed into my eardrum" feeling--Done. They don't come out when the cord is yanked...Literally I believe a midget could dangle from the cord & they'd stay in my ears--Done. This is important for those wanting an earbud which sounds fantastic & won't come out during a workout/activity. Sound: BOSE product = Fantastic! Done. Also 20% cheaper than the "higher end' (more advertised & popular) earbuds out there. Done. Thank you Bose--I will provide feedback in a few months on how they hold up after repeat usage.

    Great sound but fail

    I have now gone through 4 yes 4 pairs of these in 6 months. In every case the remote unit failed. They sound superb but what's the point if the controls don't work?

    Gone back to my old Sennheiser set. they don't sound as good but at least they work!

    Great Sound Won't Stay in Ear

    • Written by from brewerton

    Deep full base and crisp at the higher frequencies but would not stay in my ear. I bought these with the hope I could use them while working out but I found myself constantly adjusting them while running. I tried the different sizes and tried using the 'stay hear' clips but did not have success so I ended up returning them. Having said that if you don't plan on being too active while using these will suit that purpose perfectly.

    The rubber in-ear pieces are nice and soft. Very comfortable. The sound is clear and full. The could use a bit more bass, but overall they are excellent. The mic for calls placed is A+. I had another brand before and everyone complained on the voice quality. This mic works perfect and exceeds my expectations. No more complaints from callers on the other end.

    So worth the money

    After spending a lot on cheap headphones, I received these as a gift, and they are simply amazing. They do not hurt your ear, the sound quality is outstanding. I thought they would not be as good as over the ear headphones, but I was very wrong. These are fabulous, and so worth the high price tag. You won't regret it.

    I've had 2 pair thus far - both failed within 3 months. Kind of expensive to be replaced so often

    Music to my ears

    • Written by from Fishkill

    I have these headphones for only a day. The fit is incredible and they stay on and don't have the feeliing they are falling out at all. The sound of the music is fantastic - you feel you are sitting in a room with surround sound. So far the clarity of phone calls are crystal clear and callers indicate good clarity from me so far :) ....I will have to test with Siri (for the Iphone 4s). But so far these headphones ROCK THE HOUSE :)

    Good Sound Quality/Very Fragile

    In terms of sound quality i found this headphones satisfying, but they lack durability. I purchased the 1st and 2nd generation of the Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset, the headphones quickly suffered wear and tear by their connections. Reinforcement is necessary in those areas.

    These speakers do not go as loud as I would like. However they produce a full range of sound at a very comfortable level. When I am using them I can not even feel them in my ears. Way more ergonomically correct then any other earbuds. And the sound blows away the B&W's for $50 less.

    Amazing comfort!!! But, as the old saying goes, "no highs, no lows, it must be bose!"

    poor build quality

    • Written by from Virginia beach

    21 of 29 people found this useful

    I got these the other day i wore them one time at the gym and the mic stopped working. They do in fact sound really good, and the fit about as comfy as any thing ive ever used before, but the fact that the control box sits on the cord and is in no way sealed from moisture is ridiculous. if any water touches the cord it runs right into the control box, for such a high quality product it just seems silly to build it so poorly.
    My last pair of Shure heaphones had substantial wires they felt robust, like it would take some real effort to pull the wires apart, these bose had wires so thin and no reinforcement at places where the wires connected, they just seemed destined to break so I would warn anyone who plans to use these for any sort of active lifestyle, they are flimsy, and in not water resistant in the least bit. My shure actually went through the washer and dryer and came out working good as new. I didnt expect them to work after but it just goes to show the amount of thought that goes into the design, where as these bose cant handle a tiny drop.

    Very Good Headphones

    • Written by from Edmond

    I have tried many other in-ear headphones and haven't found ones that I like better than these. The Bass is just right, with accurate mids and highs. The white plastic fittings help greatly with keeping them in your ear and I haven't found a better design out there. Would highly recommend!
