I am a twenty two year old who works in a large office building when I am not playing baseball. In my office it can get rather loud with all the typing and background noise. I have used many different types of headphones, ear buds, noise canceling headphones. You name it and I've probably tried something like them.
A few months ago, my latest investment in ear buds broke. Looking for a new pair, I stumbled upon the Bose In-Ear Headphones. Having good experiences with Bose in the past, I decided to try their In-Ear headphones. Right off the bat the one hundred dollar price tag jumped at me. Looking around for a while I was able to find a pair going for sixty dollars brand new. http://www.ebay.com has some amazing deals if you take your time and are patient with your searching. Shipped to my house the total was around seventy dollars. I've saved about thirty dollars over what Best Buy and Circuit City wanted.
I opened up the package to find the two earbuds that look pretty snazzy. They fit directly into your ear via silicone covers that attach to the earbud themself. The silicone attachments come in three sizes, small, medium, and large! What a concept! I found the size that fit my ear, medium, attached them and placed them into my ear. What an amazing fit. I was able to move around and jump around and the earbuds did not fall out. That was a first for me. I plugged them into my MP3 device and I heard sounds that I didn't know existed in my music. I discovered that my favorite songs have harmonies and hearing it in stereo was a big upgrade!
I figured I'd give them an ultimate test by trying them at the gym. I was able to turn my music to an acceptable level, not too loud, and the In-Ear headphones would completely eliminate the uber loud music the gym plays over the loudspeakers! The ear buds did not fall out during my workout of cardio and lifting. Truly amazing product.
Overall, definitely worth the money! I've seen other earbuds and in-ear headphones go for much more, and I don't know how they could be better than the ones by Bose. An amazing product at an affordable price. The only downside is that the silicone pieces can wear out over time, prompting you to have to buy replacements at fifteen dollars for the pack. The silicone parts can also get lost in transport.
