Reviews for Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset

These sounded ok for the short period of time that I had them. Just a few months after the warranty expired, the cable where it connects to the ear piece started to break apart. The model I had was the IE2's which are the same as the MIE2i from a construction standpoint so watch out for these as well. When I brought them in to the Bose store to have them look at them they said the the warranty expired 3 months ago and that I could replace them for $50. I would recommend looking at another product, this will fall apart in a very short period of time.

As with many other reviewers, I've tried and reviewed many other comparable headsets. I chose the MIE2i after returning a set of Ultimate Ears and reading other reviews here. I use my headset every day for both music and conference calls. The sound in both cases is great. The build quality good and after 4 months of use there is no visible wear. These are the most comfortable headsets I've owned and have no problem wearing them for a couple hours without any discomfort. Any longer than that, I might alternate using one bud at time to give my ear a rest. The mic is pretty sensitive and will pick up background conversations so be careful and aware of that and mute your phone as appropriate.

These headphones are near perfect. These are unlike any other in-ear headphone I have ever experienced before. Even after listening to music for hours they feel light weight and very comfortable. The warranty provided by Bose is very nice and seals the deal. The actual design is aesthetically confusing but when they're in your ear they look and more importantly feel great.

For this price they can be better. However, the Bose name is what makes it pricey.
The mic and remote control are pretty good. I heard complaints on not being noise canceling. These headphones are mobile headphones, I run with these and I do want to hear whats around me as well. It its contrary to have noise canceling mobile headphones. I gave these four stars, the price is why I don't give this five stars.

I was looking for headphones that would stay in while working out and also offer great sound quality, and these do just that. These are not meant to be noise canceling headphones and they even tell you that, which for working out is great especially when going on runs I like being able to hear my surroundings. I have not had any issues with sweat damaging the controls at all and I use them quite regularly and have been rough on them so they are durable as well. If you're looking for good quality headphones that will stay in then these are the ones for you.

Pros: balanced sound, comfortable fit, good controls. Unlike in ear headphones with pinhole openings these sound great all the time where others get better or worse as you move them around. They are a bit tricky to put in at first but they sound great. Mic is actually near your mouth rather than way down at the Y like most -so u don,t have to hold the mic up to be heard. Also own the highly rated klipsch S4i (they are c7@p by comparison) so glad I got these to replace them.
Cons: plug is a very tight fit if u are using an apple bumper case - but it will fit. The included case is 4 times bigger than it needs to be which makes it useless for carrying them around in your pocket. So um yeah - had to really dig for the cons....

I picked up the Bose MIE2i Mobile Headset to use for running. My criteria included:

* Lightweight
* Good sound
* Stable in-ear fit
* Controls on the stem

I use these with my iPod Nano when running. The molded earpiece fits perfectly, doesn't move during running, and are comfortable for extended wearing. I would have preferred the mic to be an inch or so lower, but it really isn't that noticeable when on the move.

Because I am just starting to run again (after rehabbing an achilles injury), I am using a couch to 5k podcast, and since my route takes me across some busy intersections I need to sometimes pause the program until it's safe to cross. The controls on the stem are easy to use even when running.

The sound quality is also superior to other headsets I have tried, and I was quite pleased with the range. My other headphones sounded quite tinny for the most part in comparison.

I will see how durable these are, but from early experience I am a fan.
