    Great until it breaks

    • Written by from Cupertino

    Great sound, Most comfort to wear.
    However, Mic and Remote breaks easily
    And I really can't understand.
    How Bose decide to build this lovely baby with such a fragile line wrapper.
    Mine is broken everywhere after one year.....

    This could be my number one if they make it with the quality it/we deserve.

    Wow...

    • Written by from Venice

    I am so amazed on how well these sound. I've owened several "in ear" headsets in the past but these sound amazing. I think they have a perfect balance of sound. Bose sound for sure. Now, I did recently try these riding my bicycle and it get's tricky while in movement. Wind. You can't hear much of the music unless you really crank the volume up. They don't really block out the exterior sound that well. The upside of this (for those who ride bicycles) is that you can actually hear more of your surroundings compared to other ear buds that actually plug your ear canal allot more. I think these are perfect for every day use and maybe running but anything faster, you will have wind factor issues. Still worth the price though. Thank you Bose for the perfect audio!

    The headset is produces good sound for in ear headsets but the wire they used is weak. The cracks started coming in few months and then the stopped working with 10th month.

    I would not buy it again!

    Another great Bose Product

    Have to make sure you use the right adapter to fit snug in your ears. They feel comfortable and the sound is amazing. Not overly loud with bass, but the clarity when watching movies and listening to music is great. Well worth the money, like most Bose products. Not just a brand gimmick like other makes and models.

    With the option of selecting the correct size silicone ear piece, this audiophile enjoys the greater frequency response and lower THD than similarly priced in-ear headsets. Vivaldi and Led Zepplin are faithfully reproduced.

    Do Not Buy

    These headphones sound great but the wire going into the headphones are so thin that they frayed within about 7 months of use. When you first get them you can tell that the wiring is extremely cheap and low quality. And definitely do not get them for gym use as they will fray even quicker!!

    Could be more resistant

    It has the best sound ever, but it's not really resistant. The wire is starting to smash in less that a year of use.

    Best Ever In-Ear Headset

    • Written by from Castle Pines

    9 of 9 people found this useful

    This is one of the best headset I've owned for a while second after the original in-ear headphones.

    The extra-bass is my favorite as it feels better than the Bose Quiet Comfort 15s. I use them with my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pros for excellent sound, experiencing music, movies and just about anything. Making phone calls is just as easy on both the iPad, iPhone and the Mac. The controls work on all apple devices to skip, pause, reverse tracks playing on iTunes.

    Quite the headphones.

    These headphones lasted me about 2 years, and the way I use them, that's very long compared to others (Don't want to bash on any others, but my previous pair lasted 6 months.)

    When I switched to these headphones, I initially could not hear the difference between these and $20 headphones. Lol! But now my pair of bose broke, and I decided to go back to my old headphones, and I realized the immense difference in sound and quality. I'll probably buy another pair of these in the future.

    Good sound quality.
    Stays in your ear.

    comfortable, good sound, doesn't last though

    • Written by from Westport

    pros: comfortable in ear, stays put, sound quality is true to Bose's reputation

    cons: left ear bud stopped working after a year and a half (only offer one year warranty), everyone complained that it was hard to hear me with this headset (used on iPhone).

    For those reasons, I would not purchase these again.

    Ok sound, fine if in a quiet room

    These headphones have no, repeat, no sound isolation. The control buttons are so close that you will have only a random chance of them achieving you intention. On a positive note, they headphones do stay put. If you listen or workout in a quiet place these could be an ok choice. Don't even consider them if you live in a city.

    Keep your receipt

    • Written by from London

    The sound quality of these headphones is great, but they simply do not last. I've currently had about 5 replacements including 2 of this model and 3 of the previous model. After about 3 months the wiring comes lose and the sound will keep cutting out of one of the ear phones. Just make sure you keep your receipt. Good news is Bose are pretty good are replacing without quibble, just wish they made them better quality in the first place.

    The only reason I haven't asked for my money back is because I still haven't found a better sounding pair of in ear headphones.

    Great Quality for reasonable price

    Originally I bought the Beats by Dre earbuds, and within 2 months, the first pair broke and Best Buy replaced them and then broke again. So I said, give me something else, so they showed me these, and I was amazed on how much better they sounded than the Beats. They sounded better and they were cheaper, imagine that. The sound is so crisp and has the right amount of bass. And you can listen clearly without having to blast the noise. If you need earbud headphones, BUY THESE
