    Had the models without the mic before these. The mic and iTunes controls just adds convenience to an already astounding set of ear buds. Wouldn't buy any other pairs.

    The sound quality is amazing! The first ear bud I have ever put in my ear and actually had it stay there. You can even tug on the wire and they stay in your ear. Got these for a gift and I am very happy I did.

    I was a Bose hater until these babies came into my life

    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.

    I purchased the monster in ear headphones just to find out how cheap and poor the quality of that product was. After doing some research i purchased these bose headsets and love them. Very impressed with sound quality and constructed 1,000 times better then beats by dr dre headsets. Dont waste your time buying and trying other products, this product is great and well worth the money!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    The best earbuds

    Great Sound, Horrible Design

    • Written by from Lexington

    16 of 32 people found this useful

    Let me start by stating that these earbuds are great. I love the way the sound is produced. There is a good balance of low's to high's (not perfect, but good for about 90% of the public).

    The only thing that kills me with these, and also why I will not use them again, is the silicone ear piece. It's very comfortable while in your ear, but taking the earbud out is almost impossible in one step. Every time I remove the earbud, the silicone earpiece remains in my ear. This is THE MOST FRUSTRATING thing to have occur when your desk phone is ringing and you try to answer... I have replaced the silicone twice hoping to get a fix, with no result. I have moved on from these headphones as a result, and will not replace them with Bose until they fix this issue. Very, very poor design.

    Terrible Fit

    • Written by from Sooke

    18 of 36 people found this useful

    Yes, once you get the fit so it isn't totally uncomfortable (and it is always somewhat uncomfortable), you get good sound. Unfortunately, everyone around you can hear what is only supposed to be in your ears. There is absolutely no outside sound block, so you can get okay sound but still hear the t.v., conversation of others etc. Normally, even the cheapest head phones block out some noise and then when you play our music you normally can hear very little of the noise around you. Not with these, you put these in and everything can be heard just the same as before inserting the ear piece....it seriously interferes with the "great sound" these head phones others say provide.
    Plus to get them to sit just right in my ear (and yes I tested different sizes) it hurt slightly especially in my right ear.

    Bottom line, I am on the hunt for new head phones....again.

    Not worth it!

    Here is my review of these headphones from just about every aspect:
    Dislikes:
    1) The sound quality was well below par, I thought Bose sound was supposed to be awesome =>NOT! No bass, ok mids and highs after tweaking my sound settings in the iPhone.They sounded a 100% better when I would push (not cram) them in my ear just a little. I tried every ear gel that came with this headset none worked for me.
    2) Speaking of the ear gels, non of them would stay in my ear. The best ones were the hook type, but even those felt like they wanted to fall out and did fall out.
    3) The case was too big and had no compartments to keep the ear gels in. Everything would fall out when you opened the case if you weren't careful.
    4) Cord was too short.
    5) Volume level was too low. I had to turn my iPhone up over 3/4 to get the same level as my SkullCandy 50/50.
    Likes:
    1)I did like the position of the volume/music control below your ear. I put the cord under my shirt. Some headsets have this control in the middle of your chest, hard to access.
    3)I like the right angle plug.
    In conclusion I feel these should have been much better. With the price and the Bose name I thought for sure these would be a winner, I was wrong!

    Does not fit iPhone4 bumpers + not that great!

    • Written by from Philadelphia

    I got this for Christmas and was going to exchange the product for something else until I read all the positive reviews about the earphones. Frankly, I've been a devoted "Apple In-Ear Headphones" user for 6 yrs and I love the sound quality, bass, and value for the price! But I was curious b/c the Bose earphones were getting such positive reviews.

    I just tore open the box and after a few minutes of comparing the Apple In-Ear Headphones to the Bose, I am sticking with Apple! Hands down! The Bose doesn't get very loud (you gotta really crank it up and use more battery life) and the bass is really weak compared to the Apple In-Ears. Perhaps I am missing something but I just tried my classic Miles Davis and some Kanye tracks and the Apple In-Ear Headphones are the clear winner for me!

    Lastly, the Bose MIE2i's plug is too thick around the jack so it doesn't plug in when you have the iPhone4 bumper on! So BE WARNED in advance!
