Reviews for Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset

I bought the Bose headphones less than a year ago and they already don't work I could only hear music in one side of it

Could anybody give a solution for it
They cost too much money for this to happened

I'm very disappointed

These are the second Bose earbuds I have owned. I had the original in ear ones for two years but they finally broke (I dropped them in coffee at work...). I went looking for some new earbuds, I was hoping to get something with noise isolation this time, which is the one thing the Bose don't do. I tried some the Ultimate Ears 600, monster turbines, and a pair of shure earbuds in the same price range. Though they offer noise isolation, all three were vastly inferior in sounds quality and comfort. After trying six pairs or noise isolating earbuds in the same price range, I went back to the Bose. They are simply the only earbuds to own if your budget is under $200, they are unbelievebly comfortable- you can literally wear them for hours and forget that they are even in, and their sound quality is simply unbeatable for the price range, even some of the 200$ ones I tried were complete junk compared to the Bose's deep bass, clear mids and crisp highs.

These will not disappoint.

I have tried several in-ear headphone in this price range, and one considerably above- and I have found the MIE2i to be superior in most ways. The sound is very nice- I would only caution that you may find you have to raise the sound level a bit if you are used to ear canal type headphones. These are not sound isolating. I cannot comment yet on the build quality since I have been using them for only a couple of weeks. So far they seem sturdy, stay put in my ears, and sound great.

Just bought these, so still haven't given them enough time to "break in" (as they sound better after 30/40 hours of use.

BUT, the clarity is great. I could use a little more bass, but can live with what they deliver. BECAUSE, I have never tried a pair of earphone on that fit the ear so well. The engineers at BOSE got something right. As these earbuds sorta just "float" within your ears and don't come out. I work out a lot and they have yet to fall out when moving fast or shaken my head a lot.

So far so good and very happy with them.

I'm a Bose/B&O guy (basically an audiophile) so when I put 130.00 USD into earphones, I expect my money does not go to waste. For those concerned about the bass, or the lack of, can be reassured that this is only the result of bass-heavy products such as the Beats series, of which I can tell you are not quality audio products (I went out on a limb and purchased the Beats headphones and my eardrums came close to rupturing from the base; too much!).

These earphones, like the Bang & Olufsen EarSet 3i, are not noise canceling, so you will pick up ambient noise, however, do note you do NOT pick up wire distortion. That said, the bass and treble are balanced with the precision Dr. Bose envisions with every Bose product. I can tell you, however, the wire is a bit finicky when it comes to storage. Bose does include a protective leather case, as you can see/read, but if you do not keep the wire in a neatly wrapped state, you will experience tangles here and there.

If you are concerned that 130.00 USD is too much for earphones, I can tell you right now Bose hit the nail on the head. I would expect earphones with such superb sound and build quality to cost roughly 300.00 USD or more. Luckily, Bose did their homework and found the sweet spot.

First off, if you want noise cancelling headphones, this isn't it. I already knew that when purchasing them, but then quickly realized that unless I am at a quiet place, the great sound coming from it is quite useless, as you can barely enjoy the music in a loud setting.

Secondly, I've had TWO pairs break down on me within three months. YES, TWO pairs, both times with the mic/remote, and my iphone goes crazy everytime these are plugged in, shuffling through songs every few seconds, and changing volume on its own. It also activates voice control on its own on several occassions, though the mic is completely broken. They are currently out of stock with the company, so I am still waiting to get my second pair replaced.

I don't write many reviews, but felt these headphones deserve it. As a professional golfer, I've used many in-ear headphones. Beats, Shure, etc... They all were uncomfortable and/or poorly fit. With the Bose, I hardly know I have them on (make sure to try all the earpieces). Just a reminder: these aren't noise cancelling, and they don't "seal" the ear. You will be able to hear external noises. Sound wise, they're every bit as good as other premium in ear phones. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds very balanced- maybe a little heavy on the bass, but good mid's and high's. What really impresses me is the fit and comfort. With the clip, I can practice all day and not have an earpiece get loose, and I don't get sore like the others.

I bought this about 6 months ago.
I'm not sure about sound quality. I have motorola and apple's in ear bud.
Their sound qualities are about same. I mean, they are all good for sound quality.
BUT ONE THING IT STANDS OUT THE MOST IS....
It is very very comfortable. Some times I forgot that it is in my ear.
Also what so ever how I move my head, it is not falling from my ear.
It always stays in my ear. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!

These headphones have very excellent sound quality. The headphones are very durable and won't break easily.

Ok, they do say that they are not noise-isolating... I guess i just never guessed how frustrating that would be... could not resist urge to push them further in my ears all the time, as they block out almost NO ambient noise and even at FULL volume, are not loud enough.
Hated them for those reasons, just a heads up for the peeps that volume or any noise isolation (anyone who lives in NYC) is an issue.
