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.

I collect headphones because I love music. I had tried many pairs include the beats by dre studio. What can I tell you ?

First impression, the comfortability. You can not go wrong with Bose design, the silicon ears tips are so soft that you just want to swallow it. The headphones rest in your ears canal, with the clip on your shirt collar, the headphones will never fall off. In fact, sometimes I don't have it clip securely on my collars, I never had the problem with it falling off. It does not poke deep into your ears like other in ear headphones do including beats by dre, and it barely stick out of your ears. The design is so good that it allow you to lay in bed on the headphones on one side without hurting your ears or poking deeper into your ears

Second impression, a lot of bass but Nicely presented high, with a lot of detail and awesome sound stage. The bass is punchy strong and nicely packed with no distortion.

The bad : the cords look weak and to be honest, they are just medium strength, which mean you can and will break it off if not being careful enough.
The bass is strong , and not good for people who prefer balanced sounds (audiophiles). Let me say that again, this headsets is meant to be for those who love music, not audiophiles. Wonder who, and what audiophiles are? They are the people who prefer the music as exactly as it was recorded in the studio, balanced bass and trebled at the same spectrum, and willing to spend thousands of dollars into it. Also let me say this. If you are a simple music lover, you will hate audiophiles headphones....because the bass is lacked out and the trebles will pinch into your eardrum, you will hate it like I do. Why? Because u can afford an expensive audiophiles headset, but you will not have the skills and knowledge to buy amplifiers and preamplifier , or to adjust the music accordingly to your ears. If you have all that then you are not a music lover. Myself, is a music lover. I love detailed music with good soundstage, warm and rich bass, but not pinchy trebles, and also the mobility to enjoy the musics whenever I go.

Mids are not presented well

Conclusion: this headphones is for music lover who prefer comfortability, sharabiblity, mobility, and music sound quality. How comfortable is it ? I can sleep on it all night long, and wear it all day long, days after days. I hope this help.

The thing that sets this headset apart from the everything else on the market is the unique shape of the ear buds. They fit comfortably in my ears for hours and DON'T MOVE -- unlike every other ear bud and "canal bud" I've tried. The new StayHear tips look and feel a bit odd at first, but they really work. And Bose includes three tip sizes in the package. I also like being able to hear some outside noise with the headset on, especially when using them while running and cycling.

The sound quality is great. Much better than the standard Apple buds and probably comparable to other headsets in this price range. Again, I bought them mainly because they are comfortable and stay in my ears while running and cycling. The sound quality and iPhone controls are a nice bonus. Highly recommended!

Ignore PB from NY's post. I bought the head set today and they work great with the iPhone 4. Just shove it in there! Most comfortable ear buds I have ever used and they have been in for 4 hours.

Now, if I can hear them over the Screaming Eagles on the Harley.......

We shall see...

I never write reviews on ANYTHING. Im one of those people that just reads them all the time and leaves it for other people to do. Haha ooops.

I was hesitant to spend the $129+ for a pair of headphones I would likely put through my washing machine in my pants or something.

I use my headphones all day long. At the gym, between and during classes, walking around town etc. So a good pair is necessary. The sounds quality is amazing (and im picky) They are VERY comfortable.

But most importantly Bose stands behind their product. One of my biggest pet peeves is a company not standing behind their products for 1 year from purchase date you can do just about anything to these and Bose will replace them NO questions asked! The best part is when you get your replacement pair, they are brand new, and your warranty starts over (1 year from the date you receive the replacement pair)

You CAN NOT go wrong here.

Before i purchsed these i actually made apple buy and return almost every (in ear) headphones they owned in the store to make sure i was getting what i wanted. insane clarity and deep bass. being that i like 150 DB+ these could use a bit more UMPH for me. also i think their mic controls are amazing, however the mic itself catches lots of wind. bose should contact apple on how do filter the wind from the mic & apple should contact bose to learn to make a decent headphone. the only headphone that could keep up with these were the OVER EAR dre monster beats. they require batteries and are fragile, so these are the best product for music apple offers in the store. period.trust me i tried every single one.

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

I don't write many reviews, but felt these headphones deserve it. As a professional golfer, I've used many in-ear headphones. Beats, Shure, etc... They all were uncomfortable and/or poorly fit. With the Bose, I hardly know I have them on (make sure to try all the earpieces). Just a reminder: these aren't noise cancelling, and they don't "seal" the ear. You will be able to hear external noises. Sound wise, they're every bit as good as other premium in ear phones. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds very balanced- maybe a little heavy on the bass, but good mid's and high's. What really impresses me is the fit and comfort. With the clip, I can practice all day and not have an earpiece get loose, and I don't get sore like the others.
