Not the usual Bose superiority

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2007
Review: Bose has always meant high quality sound to me -- I've got a lot of Bose products in my house -- and I own a pair of Quiet Comfort large earphones that I really enjoy -- so I figured I'd give their small earbuds a try with my iPhone. I'm sorry to...

Best sound of many ear buds I tried!

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2008
Review: Not being satisfied with the ear buds my iPod came with, I needed some ear buds which could compete with my home system's Sennheiser HD650 headphones which I think are the best-sounding headphones on the market. I had to go to a lot of different...

BOSE IE ARE HORRIBLE

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2007
Review: The silicone buds keep falling off.
Bose says they improved them, so I sent away for some new buds.
THEY STILL SUCK.

Picture this:

You pull the headphones out of your pocket and a bud falls off. Maybe you notice and...

The most comfortable earbuds I own

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend them and give them to a friend as a gift. I like them so much I am buying a spare for myself.
Review: I received these for Christmas 2006. It took me a few uses to figure out you need to use the right size soft tips. I initially used a size too small and they kept falling out. They also did not sound all that good as they were not snug in the ear. I...

Best Ear Buds I Have Tried

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2007
Review: For the last year I was using the large Bose noise-cancelling headphones with my ipod nano. While the Bose in-ear buds are not quite as good as the headphones, they do NOT pale in comparison. All other ear buds that I have tried were very...

great sound but highly fragile

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2007
Review: I got one of these 6 months ago. After comparing with the Shure i2c and the JBL 220 earphones I was convinced that the Bose were far away more better about sound quality, specially in the bass range. I plugged them into my iPod and 5 months after...

!!!!NOT WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!!!

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: I really would go with something else...There is sooooooo much more out there for half the money that is good quality and will last for a while longer.
Review: I was given a pair of these ear-buds as a gift. At first glance they look a little funny, well they fit in your ear sideways and not straight in like other ear-buds. It takes some getting used to. I never could get them to stay in my ear nice and...

great sound - until they die on you

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2008
Review: After about 5 months, the left one quits working for no reason. I don't mistreat the headphones or wires, and I was using it (just walking, nothing happening to the headset at all) when suddenly I'm only getting sound on the right. Within a day, no...

Don't Bother

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2009
Review: Although the sound is excellent, the replaceable ear buds kept falling out of my ear as well as off the headphones. I lost two in a few weeks, and cannot use the other two sizes provided. Very poorly engineered.

Great Sound, Comfortable Fit

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2009
Review: I have had at least four sets of earbuds in the last two years ranging from $10 to $30, and it looks like the fifth is the charm.  These are pricey, but the sound coming out of these earbuds is rich and they are very comfortable to wear. There are...
