Product Description
Presenting high quality in-ear headphones engineered and developed by Bose, the most respected name in sound. Enjoy rich audio and a comfortable fit not available from conventional in-ear designs.
You'll hear your music with more range, realism and clarity than with most earbuds. Bose research and engineering are at the core of the remarkable performance of these in-ear headphones. That includes the proprietary TriPort acoustic headphone structure for greater output of low notes from small headphones.
Bose in-ear headphones are designed to be worn comfortably for extended periods of time. Many people experience discomfort from traditional earbuds. But Bose engineers have developed innovative, soft silicone tips shaped to rest easily in the outer bowls of your ears, not the pressure-sensitive ear canals. Tips come in three sizes for a more personal fit. You may find using a different size tip for each ear the most comfortable option. These headphones also come with a lanyard and clothing clip for enhanced stability when you're on the move.
Bose in-ear headphones are engineered specifically for use with laptops, MP3 players and CD players. The audio cable's 3.5 mm angled plug also fits directly into iPod, iPhone and other sources with recessed headphone jacks. Included with purchase is a sleek, protective carrying case with enough extra room for a portable MP3 player.
Try Bose in-ear headphones for quality sound, comfortable design and personal fit. You may appreciate their unique benefits from the first notes of your favorite song.

 Great Bass Without Jamming Into Your Ears November 28, 2009
GadgetGuy (Southern California)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've been buying various headphones for years, and own various models from Sony, Sennheiser and a pair of Bose QC2's. I'm always looking for the holy grail of phones: compact, comfortable and full-range sound, since in-ear phones usually achieve one out of three (compact) but are lacking in low frequency response and tend to irritate my ears after a while. Frankly, jamming anything deep into one's ear canals seems unnatural and is not a pleasant experience, but it's always been the only way to get a tolerable level of bass response due to the "seal" that forms if all goes according to plan. I can usually stand to wear in-ear phones for about two hours at most before I can't stand them anymore.
I was at Tokyo Narita airport a couple of months ago with some time to kill, so on a whim I tried out a pair of the Bose In-Ear headphones at a demo station in one of the many shops there. The phones were missing the molded silicone cushions (probably a good thing in a public demo station), but even without the cushions I could hear bass. Lots of it! In fact, the whole audible range sounded quite good. I was sold, but waited to get home before buying a pair due to the better price you can get here.
What's great about these phones is that you can enjoy very good sound quality with decent bass response without having to jam them deep into your ear canals. This results in less ambient sound isolation, but that's actually a good thing for me. I like being able to hear the phone ring or someone calling me or large cars approaching at high speed. The better comfort factor is due to the way these phones rest in the lower part of your outer ears with the silicone cushions pointed toward the canals without actually going into them very far. This is a superb design because I can wear them for hours without wanting to rip them out and hurl them across the room.
As for things I'm not crazy about, I would say the black and white cord is a little obnoxious; I prefer a nice, understated black cord instead of the zebra look. I also think the case could be smaller - maybe by half? - since it's awkward to carry around and seems to waste a lot of space. It's not something you would want to carry in your pants pocket. But aside from these minor issues, I'm very pleased with these phones and use them almost exclusively now when I'm not on a plane -- that's where the QC2's do their best stuff.
I would recommend these headphones without hesitation to anyone who wants full sound in a small, unobtrusive design while maintaining high comfort and an awareness of surrounding sounds. At $90-$100, I think they are a great value.
Sound great, have lasted fine for me. January 19, 2008

I've tried a number of in-ear headphones, and somehow they never work all that well for me. I think the main problem is that I may be listening to music for 7-10 hours in a row. Several products I've tried have sounded good-to-excellent, but most of them start to bother my ears if I am doing a lot of listening for several days in a row.
These have remained comfortable for me, even when used for very long periods of time. In my case, I'm using them connected to an iPod while working in my office, so maybe I'm not putting them under much stress. But at least for me, these have lasted over eight months so far. Some of the other earbuds that I have tried have not lasted that long.
I love how light earbuds are, so I'm glad I finally found a set which work well for me. I love the Bose QC2's even more, but they're a lot heavier to wear for long stretches of time!
The best earbuds money can buy... PERIOD! January 8, 2009

These ear buds are EXCELLENT! The design is very comfortable while wearing, they come with a carrying case for when your traveling, and they sound terrific! I have tried many different ear buds and headphones and these have the best bar none. Just make sure you like the ways bose products sound (very full w/ a good amount of base) and you will LOVE this product!
Very good earbuds since being revised January 11, 2009

Since they have made their third version of these they are great. The sound is great and they stay in your ear very well. These earbuds are now quality you could expect from Bose. They don't go into your ear canal so they don't feel invasive. They come with a clip for exercising. Very good product don't listen to the earlier reviews because they are from when these were not good.
Best in-ear headphones February 14, 2009
James D. Hershman (Northridge, CA)

OK, let me start out by saying that the sound on these headphones is incredible. After about a week of breaking these in I can not believe how clear and beautiful the sound is. This isn't the most I've spent on headphones but still a pricey product. However, I think these are worth the 100 bucks. I can wear these for hours without any pain or fatigue in my ears. I have no problem with the buds falling out of my ears although I don't wear them while exercising. I do a lot of bike riding and walking around the crowded city of Osaka Japan and haven't had any problems with them coming out. Also, I like the fact that these don't seal in your ear which allows ambient noise to penetrate through which is convenient if you are walking around in a city full of cars, bikes, and trains.
The only complaint I have is the style, primarily the black and white zebra swirl they do. I would have preferred just a straight balck wire like most earbuds but this is a minor complaint.
I'm impressed with the way the bass comes through, usually with earbuds you need a seal to get the bass but not so with these. I highly reocmmend these for anyone who loves music and can't stand most other earbud type headphones. The sound probably isn't as good as a pair of high end cans but for the in-ear type, these are the best I've heard.
