Reviews for Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset

I read all the reviews and was so excited to get these headphones. I finally got them today and they aren't good. The volume doesn't go that high. There isn't any clarity. When I listen to my music, it sounds like there's a kind of shield in front of the music. I would describe it as cloudy. I wouldn't recommend these headphones.

But the design is cool. The headphones are very comfortable. The cord is cheap though.

these fit great sound great and the mic sounds pretty good as well.
I don't know why apple makes so many amazing products but the apple factory headsets belongs in the trash! buy these and you'll be very happy

If you're like me and avoid in-ear sets because of discomfort these bad-boys are worth a try! They sit sort of half-in, half-out of your ear but are fully secure and comfortable. My ears don't start aching after an hour or two like with other in-ear sets. They sound great; better than the QC15s I exchanged them for. I'm rocking out to some Ben Folds as we speak! The in-line buttons are right where my brain and fingers thought they should be. I didn't have to pull the cord out in front of my face to find where the correct button was. They sound great in a call, and I don't have people asking "what?" all the time. They work with Voice Control and control everything just like your included Apple headset would.

Regarding the reviewer who said he couldn't plug it into an iPhone 4: they plug in fine. Your iPhone 4 needs to "beware" that you don't know where its headset plug is.

Regarding not being sweat proof: they don't claim to be. There's many that do, try those, or just don't exercise like me.

Pros: Great clean sound • Super comfortable

Con: The packaging. I hope someone at Bose reads this: Your packaging is unacceptable on this particular product. Have you guys tried opening these headphones after you seal them up with sharp hard plastic that is sealed on all sides? Take a lesson from apple on how to package a product. It should be enjoyable to unbox a $130.00 pair of headphones that someone is excited to use. Do you really want me using a sharp knife or scissors to open these, so I can cut through the cord? I didn't knock the stars down for this issue since it does not relate to the performance of the headphones but I was seriously bugged by this.

I got these for Christmas and couldn't be happier. I try (as budge permits) to always buy Bose products. My brother got me the QuiteComfort headphones a while back and those are amazing because of the noise-cancelling technology. The only complaint I see on this headset is the lack of that feature, but people must understand they would need a power source to fulfill that. I wouldn't want any extra weight added to these in the form of some batter-sized compartment. There's no denying that these are the most comfortable and snug earphones you will ever use. I'm not an iPhone user and these are actually being used on my Windows Phone. Yeah, kind of comical on an Apple website but oh well. For the quality and support might I add from Bose, you cannot find a better buy than these!

Lovely sound, rich base, crystal clear highs and amazing presence.

Perfect fit; light comfortable and can wear all day
controls and mic work perfectly.

Very nice leather case also fits my iPhone with its case on (that is COOL)

The only drawback is they don't have background notice cancelling mic system.

Purchased these for my husband but I think I'll keep them for myself! LOL!! Very comfortable and the sound is great of course. Highly recommend!!!! But, unable to use volume control with my iPhone 3g (yeah I know it's time to upgrade but it works fine) :))

If you are an iPhone 4 user consider that the jack for this model DOES NOT fit as the standard Apple issued headset will in the headset hole IF you are using the bumper case.

Enjoy the 10% restocking fee for opening the headset and making the same mistake.

I give them 1 star because they were a great EAR fit. But for the intended purchase which Apple clearly states is compatible is false advertising and frustrating to have to pay for shipping and restocking to say the least.

FAIL!

I just bought the Bose earbuds with the Mic and I couldnt be happier. I've tried several types trying to save money and its just been one disappointment after another. Quality costs a little bit more and I've found these to be exactly what I've been looking for. The sound is great, the Mic works like a charm without hollering into it. I dont have to turn the volume all the way up to hear my podcasts anymore. Oh year! Lifetime warranty.

I use to have the Bang & Olufsen earphones. These were great earphones except for the fact that the cable would detach from the ear piece after extended pulling and tugging. After two of these, I decide to try something new for my iPhone. I tried the more expensive Apple earphones and the Shure top of the line. In fact, I only had to listen to both of them once to realize the sound quality was no where close to what I wanted. I was skeptical to try another Bose because I did not like the pair I bought about 2 years ago...muddy, too much bass. So I was torn between the very new Dr. Dre earphones and the Bose. At the end of the day, I was convinced by the solid reviews of the Bose to try it again. I have to tell you, there are excellent (not quite the dynamic range of the Bang & Olufsen) but very close. They stay in your ear, the bass the solid while the highs are crisp. I'm very happy with them!
