 The Best sound I've ever heard from in ear head phones. August 13, 2008
First thing you have to know about me is I love Music almost all types from rock to rap and Classical to jazz to country etc, even a little Latin. I've been looking for the perfect head phones for my 160 GB IPod since I got it about a year ago just after it came out. First off the head phones that come with the IPod are garbage. The base sounds really bad. I got rid of those right away. Next I tried 12 - 15 dollar Sony ear buds but the base was nothing special. Not bad granted but nothing special. I then found the Sony MDR-EX55LP in ear head phones and thought I was done even the salesman at the store said don't waste your money on the Bose the Sony head phones are better and cheaper. One day I was in my local mall and wondered in to the Bose store. They had a pair of these in-ear head phones to try out. I said what the Hay it's worth a try. Let's see how the sound compared to the Sony's I already had. Boy was I shocked. They where a hundred times better. The sound is so much richer and clearer. When I bought my pair about a month ago I even found out that the problem with the base in most hip-hop/rap tracks I had been having was no longer there. Now grated that is not 100%. Try the track "A Milli" by Lil' Wayne and the base problem is not completely gone but 95 percent of the time is almost non existent. also I'd been having a problem at work where my Sony head phones would get very tangled up in my pocket while on the job witch I feel it very bad for the ear buds and Bose offers a free carrying case the solves that problem. Over all the best 100 Dollars I even spent! My ears have been thanking ever since.
 Disappointed? Yes, quite. July 13, 2008

A big problem with in-ear headphones in general nowadays is the bass not being strong enough. Bose, with the creation of these headphones, has proven that it IS possible to have TOO MUCH bass. So much bass that the treble gets drowned out even after extensive adjusting of the equalizer settings to compensate. Not only does it sound bad, but it actually might be dangerous - while listening to these headphones, certain frequencies of bass lines would give the sensation that it was rattling my entire skull.
Another noted problem is that these headphones are NOT loud enough! My mp3 player of choice is a Sony a728B and the supplied headphones are notably louder at 20 than these Bose are at 30 (max). I was comfortably listening at the max volume and wanting more after a while, whereas I couldn't get past 23 or 24 with stock headphones without being in serious pain. I didn't have any volume restrictions done, these are a WEAK pair of headphones.
Forget about jogging with these headphones. Even with the supplied lanyard the weight of the headphone itself is significant enough to fall out of your ear after 10 or 15 strides. While I realize these are not meant to be lightweight running/jogging headphones, I just thought it was important to note.
These headphones leave something to be desired.
A strange combination of too much bass and not enough general power added onto the rather steep $100 pricetag leaves these headphones not the greatest choice. Shame on you, Bose. I know you can do better than this.
EXCELLENT July 2, 2008
for the record: the sample picture on the descripiton of this product shows the OLD model of these...the current ones redesigned by BOSE have a black and white chord and more confortable fit.
anyways, i have had these for over a month now i figured it was time to give them a review. i had the Sony IN-ear bud style headphones before these, and it took me a while to get used to the way these sound. now that im used to them...these things are powerful both in sound and performance,wayy more powerful than my old sony's!!!! the chord is solid and sturdy as is the actual material of the earphones, the rubber buds WILL stay in your ears because they are of sticky rubber material. so they wont fall out with sweat.
Now it has been said that these have way to much BASS....my veredict: They have Powerful rich deep sounding bass, that sounds fantastic on the low end but interfere just a BIT on the MIDS, meaning that depending on the music you listen to, the artits voice might sound a bit loud and cause vibration. however they DO NOT HAVE WAY TOO MUCH BASS, just enough. The HIGHS are so clean on these phones that you will forget about any type of distorion on the bass. I dont know if they are worth $100 (i did not pay that much) but these things do have superb quality and are definatelly expensive. Bose has definatelly made a good product here, and YOU WILL ENJOY THEM. are there better headphones out there??? ofcourse but these are really good for the price and are not overshadowed by more expensive ones.
SO TO SUM IT UP:
PROS: Powerful and abundant bass, crisp clear sound especially on the high ends,(these things sound VERY GOOD) Sturdy and excpensive material, chord will resist strong pulls, Rubber Buds DO stay in your ear(try different sizes if they dont), nice color and quality.
CONS: The headphone jack is big(i dont know why bose made it so big)Bass may cause a bit of distortion on the MID freqs. are not noise cancelling(although this is not needed for these earphones, simply turn up the volume and you wont hear any outside noises) Buds pick up dust(because of sticky material)(none of these cons are significant enough for me to take away stars, there are more cons than flaws)
OVERALL: if you are an average listener you will be very happy with these, the standard ipod earphones are crap compared to these. and if you are an audiophile like me, you will also enjoy them even with its tiny bass flaw. VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED!
not as snug May 27, 2008

Yes theses headphones sound great!......But they are not as snug fitting in the ear as I would have liked. They come with three size "jellies" and even though you can mix and match them, they just never fit snug. I know they sit in the "bowls" of the ear but that lets in a lot of unwanted outside noise. They do have great highs and mids. Bass a little wavey at high volume
 Not really worth the money April 24, 2008

I do not feel that this product is worth the extra money over a similar product by Philips that is sold for only $19.99 or even lower. Bose is a brand name but in this case you are probably paying for the name more than the quality.
