Not bad, but not superior.

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a comfortable, durable earphone with good sound, this is a good choice. But it is expensive and not audiophile quality.
Review: While these are readily available for around $100, I got my pair for free using points I accumulated on a credit card. Thought I'd get that issue out of the way up front.

The complaints that I half-expected...tips coming off, dirt and lint...

Sound quality disappointing

Date of Review:  Feb 29, 2008
Review: Because the Bose over-the-ear phones I tried sounded so good, I had to give these earbuds a try. I was disappointed. Compared to the much less pricey JVC Marshmallow phones I was using, the Bose units sounded muddy and boomy. Removing the "bass...

bose earbuds

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: One doesn't need to spend $100 for good sound quality from earbuds.
Review: I bought a set of Bose earbuds to try them out, after carefully reviewing the store return policy (check on restock fees as well, if you want to do this) I'll leave the store unnamed. This gave me lots of time to fully appreciate the product at my...

unbelievable sound... though unbelievably annoying at times

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: the sound quality is worth the annoyance of having to come up with a way to make them stay in my ears.
Review: I bought both Bose and Shure in-ear buds at the same time to see which pair best suited me. I'm pretty active and at first I thought there was no way I would keep the Bose as they constantly fell out of my ears, especially during very cold weather,...

Pros of Bose

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you want quality then these are worth it.
Review: I received these earbuds as a gift and honestly I would never have bought them on my own. However, these ear buds would have been worth it as they offer sound quality I have never experienced before. No, I am not a lucky customer who has just got...

Bose...stick to home theatre

Date of Review:  May 7, 2007
Review: The Bose Inear headphones are a very poor reflection on the Bose brand.


I put these ear phones on at the beginning of my bike ride and took them off about 2 miles into the ride. The rubber ear pieces fall off the head phones and the...

Good sound, bad technical support, worst design for earbuds

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a failure product from Bose and should not be sold outside the United States as the stability kits are only for customers there.
Review: The Bose In-Ear headphones are a pair of good sounding headphones, but that's about it. Everything else in this Bose earphone package is horrible. To start off, like many users say, the Bose earbuds falls out from the headphones with just a slight...

Excellent headphones for my ipod...

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Excellent sound, but need some EQ calibration. The way of using them is different from other headphones. No good for use in public noisy places.
Review: I bought these headphones because I have tested quality of Bose speakers, and I think there are no reasons to have doubts about their quality. But, my first impressions were that I have bough a chinese falsification. After investigating what Bose...

Bose Ear Buds - Worst Fit

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2007
Review: Wanted Bose because of its great reputation. The ear buds constantly fall out of my ears and I have tried all 3-sizes.

Average at best

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2007
Review: I can't keep them from falling out of my ears. If you can keep them in your ear the sound is average at best. If had $15.00 headphones that sounded just as good. I'm very disappointed they are not worth the money and I don't mind spending money for...
