Reviews for Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset

There are not words to describe how happy I am with this headset, they are all I was looking for

I love these headphones. They're very comfortable and sound great. I actually liked the Apple headphones that came with my iPhone4 but these sound much better, more depth and better clarity. Plus they sit and stay in my ear better. I tested them with Nirvana's Nevermind and Neil Young's Dreamin' Man, for contrast, and haven't looked back. They are on the expensive side but worth the money.

These sound great, stay in your ears, are comfortable, have a great mic and controls, seem to be well made, and work as well for phone calls as they do for listening to music (no hearing too much of your own voice, isolating yourself too much to ambient noise,etc.). I've tried a lot of expensive earbuds, canal buds, etc., and always find one of these attributes lacking. But these Bose units are the whole package.

I have been a big fan of Bose for many years. I have several of their products, including a dock station for my ipod, surround sound with my TV in the family room and I have a Bose Sound system in my car which was a nice selling point for me when purchasing a vehicle after I graduated from college.

I bought the Bose earbuds when they first came out several, several years ago. I of course loved the sound they produced, but I've always had trouble getting any earbuds to stay in my ears. The first set, the little silicone pieces on them were loose and they would fall off in my purse all the time, or even if I was just carrying my headphones in my hand I would have to be careful not to loose one. I ended up countless times loosing them, and would stop in the Bose store and purchase new one. I went through at least 5 sets if not more, and Bose did get smart and began clustering extra buds in sets of 3 of one size. I use the small ones, and it was a waste to buy a set of 3 and only get one set that works for me. Plus with how my ears are shaped I could never get them to stay in my ears. I'm a runner, for pleasure and working out, and I would spend most of my 6 miles 1. pushing them back in my ears because they were about to fall out or 2. putting them back in after they did fall out. It was HUGE pain, but I love the sound quaility. I thought several times that I was just going to buy some cheap earphones/buds that go around the ear to run in.

Bose fixed my 2 biggest beef's with these new earbuds. 1. They put little plastic pieces on the earbud which makes you put a little effort into getting the silicone peices off instead of them just randomly falling off. 2. They finally put the little curved silicone peice on to fit in your upper ear so they no longer just fall out like the old ones. Never again will I use my old ones..... I'll give them away to someone who dosn't run. Thanks BOSE!!

Remember the poor reviews of the original headset because the silicone tips constantly falls off, whether everyday use or exercise? The StayHear tips now fixes that problem. Otherwise, audio quality is the same as the original with a slight design change.

I just bought these, 11/26/10. I have had Klipsch, and Shure. With the new ear pieces, they don't even need to be crammed into your ear to get terrific sound. I just laid the new ear piece inside my ear and incredible sound began to flow out of them. Solid basses and crisp treble. No mud in the middle. Pricey, but after all aren't you worth it? The microphone picks up you voice like magic. The remote is placed very convenient. You go BOSE. What a winner. Well thought out and quality all the way.

I am now at 35,000 feet and can hardly hear any background noise while my music is playing. I bought these last night looking to replace a Bluetooth headset. Wasn't sure about a wired set but I am glad I did. Sound is amazing, bought the klipsch earphones with mic, not good. They had flat sound and I listen to everything from tiesto to the boxer rebellion. Nothing sounded good to me so I got these instead. Can't get them out of my ears...
Music is very rich sounding, talk is pretty good, still need to test while driving. Very comfortable with all the extra tips, there's loads. Easy to start and stop music, easy to answer with the button control next to your jaw.

Over all I am impressed with the design and quality of these. To be honest, the price is fair for what you get. Oh' yeah the cord is cool looking too, they stand out over all others cords hanging from peoples ears.

The thing that sets this headset apart from the everything else on the market is the unique shape of the ear buds. They fit comfortably in my ears for hours and DON'T MOVE -- unlike every other ear bud and "canal bud" I've tried. The new StayHear tips look and feel a bit odd at first, but they really work. And Bose includes three tip sizes in the package. I also like being able to hear some outside noise with the headset on, especially when using them while running and cycling.

The sound quality is great. Much better than the standard Apple buds and probably comparable to other headsets in this price range. Again, I bought them mainly because they are comfortable and stay in my ears while running and cycling. The sound quality and iPhone controls are a nice bonus. Highly recommended!

I was skeptical when I first saw the tabs to hold the ear buds in place. I've never had luck with ear buds from any vendor. These work! Comfortable, light weight, and that beautiful Bose sound quality.
