Reviews for Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset

To preface, I have owned the Bose QuietComfort 2's since they came out and love them. I'm not opposed to the Bose sound. I also own or have owned the Etymotic HF2 and 3's, the Bowers and Wilkins P5's, the Apple in-ear headphones, Sure 210's and the Ultimate Ears Superfi 5's. Have also tried to Klipsch s4i's but ultimately didn't keep them because no matter what tip I tried I couldn't get a good seal.

Good: dynamically good when pressed into the ear, seem to anchor firmly to the ear, don't come off with moderately vigorous activity.

Bad: Narrow soundstage. Poor audio presence (very thready sounding) unless pressed into the ear. No seal of the ear canal (given that they are not supposed to occlude the ear completely). Difficult to fit the buds into the ear (vs. foam or other silicone eartips). Earpieces are rather large vs. other in-ear cans.

Conclusion: Was looking for buds to use when it might rain, these are OK, but leak too much outside sound and don't provide the audio quality I would like to see at this price range. Will be returning these (thank you apple store return policy) and ordering the ultimate ears 500i, also considered the 600i's. If those let me down, I'll throw in the towel and buy the Klipsch image x10i's.

I just replaced the apple in-ear buds (~$90) for these Bose ones. the differnece is unreal.
The apple version always offered what i considered decent sound quality for in-ear style phones, but the MIE2i's destroy them.

The 'stayhear' covers are super comfortable, and after some exhaustive head shaking i am pretty confident in saying they cannot fall out. they dont even budge. I've used them at work for 8+ continuous hours, and they stay comfortable without any soreness. They sit right above the ear canal, so there arent any pressure points to become irritated. The weird 'stayhear' fin is made of a very soft silicone, and nestles into the ear nicely- almost clicking into place.

the sound quality is awesome as well. super crisp, with full bass. the silicone fitting surrounds the mid/high end, and the bass filters in from behind (pictures dont really show the real going-ons). It doesn't have any sort of 'noise reduction', but the volume and fullness of sound drains anything else out.

It also reads as 'iphone compatible' for the mic, though it also works on my blackberry (tohugh the answer/volume controls don't respond). it seems the call quality on the other end is quite good as well.

All in all, they are a great pair of buds. My initial buyers remorse for dropping nearly $200 bucks on in-hear phones disappeared as soon as i heard them in action.

if you have an iphone and want great sound, then these babies are it. i own the bose quietcomfort 3's and i love those but was skeptical about the mobile kit from their reviews(no in line button control) not much but would like that aspect to it. For a big guy they make your ears sweaty a bit too. Great for home and airplane usage not for long commutes on foot or active usage.
I just got the MIE2i's and i'm impressed. Base and sound is great and they fit perfect without the in-ear feel(you know the ones that feel like they're pressing against your ear canals. I also love the fact that the jack that goes into the iphone is slanted and not straight. i've owned some iphone original headphones and some schosch but they failed before a year because of the big jack that sticks out straight and gets caught in your coat pocket jamming the wire and loosing sound or breaking the cord from the root(which has been the case for many dead headphones) Well done BOSE!

Great condition, perfect sound, nice quality, 5 stars undoubted.

I just got mine 2 days ago, and the sound is great, but no as comfortable as they sell them. After 3 hours of continuos use they start to bother my ears.

Now, I know everybodies ears are diferent, so before buying them make sure you can return them after you tried them, because if you can't return them and you have the same problem as I do, you will have spend big bucks on a headset that you will not resist to use them.

These headphones are amazing! They're like wearing giant over-ear headphones, with great sound quality, but without being so inconvenient! They can go very loud without being uncomfortable, and keeping quality in check. A definite good buy!

I've had these headphones for about six months now, and they work fantastically! The remote control is a godsend, and I haven't heard a set of headphones that come even close to the balance these provide. It's easy to find a set of headphones that give decent bass, but these give stellar bass that is balanced with rich mid tones and crisp treble. These are a must-have for anybody that enjoys listening to music.

I purchased several other high quality well known brands before these and I must say these are without a doubt the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn. You can have them in for hours and not even know your wearing them. The StayHear tips work perfectly just try all three to find the best fit for you. I do a lot of walking so its great that they are not noise isolating as you can be aware of things (like cars) around you, But it does not jepordize the sound quality which I feel is excellent. Vocals are crisp and clear. The build quality is excellent with an angled plug to the thick cable cover, and being able to adjust the volume, change tracks or take a phone call make these Bose mobile in ear Headphones the Ultimate listening experience. I would give them 6 stars if I could

I bought the Bose headphones less than a year ago and they already don't work I could only hear music in one side of it

Could anybody give a solution for it
They cost too much money for this to happened

I'm very disappointed

These headphones have very excellent sound quality. The headphones are very durable and won't break easily.
