    short cords

    • Written by from Jersey city

    may i just say that these are great headphones. it was a gift to me from my boyfriend and i have wanted these headphones ever since. only thing is, the cord is really short. at least that's how i feel. i guess because they're for sports, you would think i'd only wanna use them for running. i do! but i also use them on my mac air sometimes and i just have to keep my head close to my mac whenever i use these headphones. boo! but dont get me wrong, the sounds are perfect! like a Bose! get it?? lol

    Overall usage

    • Written by from stonewall

    The selection of headphones can be quite overwhelming from the apple store due to a vast amout of selections that are availible. I selected these headphones based on supposed durability and brand name credibility.

    My significant- other pointed out that these headphones are not noise cancelling and that applies to their sound outside of the ear, the non noise cancelling results in the ear phones needing to be turned up excessively in loud environements. The volume necessary to acomplish not hearing environmental distractions is to loud for people surronding me to not be subjected to listening to my music.

    I feel that the amount of external volume is not fair to my peers/ the surrounding population, therefore I'm going to return them.
    Thx

    Excellent Work out Ear Buds

    • Written by from Rocky Hill

    These are the perfect cord length for a iPod nano or shuffle(generation with clip) no need to have a bluetooth model this cord is just right. Also comes with an extension cord if you want a longer length. Same quality sound from MIE2i Mobile Headset which I wear for work at UPS.
    Customer service is second to none. My MIE2i Mobile Headset wire was wearing out and there sending me a new one after these were used for over two years at a reasonable price about 60 percent off and there paying for shipping the old-ones back. Great company who values there customers and there call center is USA based!

    engineered for exercise...

    • Written by from Portland

    And they're a perfect complement to my workouts. Great sound, excellent functionality, and completely inconspicuous. The eartips are very comfortable, and stay in my ears while lifting weights, running and jumping. I have an iPod Nano and use a different armband, and the cord is long enough to allow me to have full range of motion, but not so long that I need to wrap it around my iPod five times. I also really appreciate the inline controls on the cord so I don't have to reach for the iPod on my arm, and feel for volume and play controls while I run.

    BIG PROBLEM with SIE2i (with inline mic/volume control)

    • Written by from Singapore

    The SIE2i sports earphones have a BIG PROBLEM with the inline mic and volume controls. They are not as sweat resistance as claimed and I have 2 sets stop working with in 1 week each. The first set was purchased on the 22nd of December 2012 and the replacement was received on the 29th of December 2012.

    I exercise about 5 times a week and usually for about 30 mins each session. The original set and replacement set both had the same identical problems within 1 week - First the volume rockers give way, after which the 'answer call' button and the microphone starts malfunctioning (works some times or not at all).

    Is this a design problem? Or is it just me? For the same symptoms to manifest themselves after similar durations (1 week), I suspect it could be a product design flaw.

    Great Sound

    • Written by from Mercer Island

    The sound is great, the earplugs stay in my ears, but my iPhone 3GS with protective cover does not fit into the armband cover. Finally I was thrilled to find earplugs that stayed put, but I was bummed when the armband didn't work for me.

    Armband for iPhone 5

    • Written by from Houston

    As stated in some of reviews iPhone does not fit standard armband. Call Bose customer Service and they will send an iPhone 5 version of the armband free of charge. Great, no actually AWESOME product as BOSE are always!

    AMAZING!

    • Written by from Warrington

    i have always struggled from keeping headphones from popping out of my ears; especially when training/working out. However these fit perfectly and dont even move within my ear and are very stable; the sound quality is very similar to the Dre beats but the bass is not as deep; however the vocals do seem crisper.

    Does not fit Iphone 5

    • Written by from Shady Side

    Just upgraded my old Bose in ear headphones to these sweat free piece. Always liked the quality of the ear piece but the armband, which is a great idea, does not fit the Iphone 5. The 5 sticks out of the top and won't close and the holes for the headphone jack is on the wrong end and side. They need to up grade or at least have an armband that will accommodate Apple's new phone.

    Overall: 3 stars

    Good Headphones (5 stars)

    Accessories most importantly the armband , fail for the people with the 5. (1 star)

    Finally!

    • Written by from EDMONTON

    I'm training for a half marathon and so tired of headphones that either don't fit correctly, the sound is terrible, or they hurt your ears after 30 minutes (when you still have another 1:30:00 to go)! First run with these today and I already noticed a difference with them! Better sound, the stay put and the clip that you attach to your jacket or shirt is handy!

    AWESOME

    • Written by from San Diego

    Bose is back. I've been running three years and the Bose IE series has failed with switch, headphones issues due to sweat or moisture. Now, these SPORTs versions have solved all the issues. I've been with Bose, Bang&Oluf, Wilkins, Polk Audio, and PowerBeats. All failed with Polk lasting the longest at 1 year 1 month. Since I love Bose sound I was happy to try again BOSE Sports version. What I like is the in ear-on ear type of mount to ear. While running or exercise, you don't have to constantly adjust to keep in ear or comfort. These just fit right and do not move the whole time. Amazing sound, fit, quality built, and nice armband too (which works great with iPhone 5). Overall a great product for SPORTS finally... Hope last or I change my review....

    amazing

    • Written by from Bronx

    sound quality cant be touched its so clear and the mic is amazing you can speak regularly and people here and understand you perfectly. I had the MIE2I and sold them for these, so far they are amazing and they are just as loud and if you ask me they are more clear and have higher sound quality. The color is a nice touch compared to the last one that was just white and black. Overall im beyond happy with Bose headphones.

    Great product!

    • Written by from Milford

    Overall really happy with these- they sound great, the fit is stable but really comfortable, I solid win in my opinion.
    My short wish List would be a silver, black or white option and a 90 degree 3.5 mm plug not the straight is comes with.
    Neither are deal breakers here just preferences, I'd totally recommend these.
