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 for workouts July 28, 2010

I workout everyday and I sweat and move a lot during the workout. The ear buds that came with my ipod would fall all the time due to the sweating and motion. I bought the Bose ear buds two weeks ago. It takes a little time to get used to it because they seem they are always on the verge of falling. But they stay in place no matter how fast I move and how much I sweat. The sound is also great...and they look cool. Great buy!
 Very poor quality materials July 28, 2010

I bought this earphones about a year and a half ago. Works fine, sound quality very good, what you can expect from bose and this price range. But it seems that this product is deliberately designed to start failing after the warranty expires. i have take extreme care with this earphones, I never work out with it, I always store it in his case, etc. And the rubber from the wires just started to crack everywhere. Dont buy this product unless the price drop to 19.99 or less, its not worth it.
Sounds like a good idea, too bad it's poorly built! July 25, 2010

Overall, i've had these in ear headphones for a while now and the sound is superb when hitting highs and lows (no distortion). The only issueI would have is the overall build quality of this product. Even though I have been using the same pair for few years now, it is looking worse by the day. The same pair looks like it has been to Iraq and back, multiple times.
Pros:
- sound (highs and lows are superb)
- comfort (wear these for hours and even entire plane trips half way across the world)
Cons:
- build quality (will start showing wear and tare within months of use)
- lasting appeal
Hop this helps

Horrifically flimsy July 20, 2010

As stated by others, these are extremely fragile especially for the price. Mine lasted exactly ONE day. The next day after buying them the wires leading up to the splitter fell out. Bose refused to replace them, so all that money spent was wasted. Do NOT buy these. On top of that the sound quality was mediocre at best.
I'm far happier with my Klipsch ear buds.
Worst-fitting in-ear mobile headset for sale today - TERRIBLE July 13, 2010

What does it matter how great they sound if you can't get them to stay in your ears? These are absolutely the worst fitting ear buds I have ever tried in my life. They were expensive, but I don't mind paying for a good solid set of ear buds with an inline mic. My V-Moda Vibe Duo headset ear buds from Costco were $99 and fit wonderfully. They're much less expensive here on Amazon. The V-modas sound amazing as well - but when I misplaced them, I bought this Bose headset. What an epic mistake! I wish I could take them back.
They come with a wonderful pleather zipper case that is ginormous, and a small ziplock baggy containing an extra clip and 3 sizes of tips (S, M and L) so you can find the "perfect" size for your ear (like pretty much every in-ear buds out there, even the $10 ones). The problem is, nobody has ears shaped like these ridiculous tips. The supplied tips are a weird shape, not the typical root-beer barrel shape you find on most in-ear buds. And they're not ear specific. They're interchangeable. Anyone who has looked at an ear before knows that both ears are differently shaped. A barrel shaped ear bud makes sense if you're going to make them interchangeable, because it fits into your ear canal. But these Bose buds... man oh man what were they smoking when they came up with this design? Someone at Bose should be fired to spare further Bose fan lemmings from wasting their hard-earned, under-valued dollars on these veritable pieces of trash.
I even contacted a local hearing aid shop in my area that will make custom-fit hearing aids for people to see if they can create a pair of custom-fitting tips for my ears that will attach to these Bose ear buds. They can! . . . for several hundred dollars.
I'm telling you, anyone who rated these as 4-5 stars either (1) has never put them in their ears, (2) is lying, (3) is in denial that they spent $120 on a Bose product and it really *isn't* the best and they can't admit it because they are a Bose fanboy, or (4) has some kind of alien or prosthetic ears that just happen to be a perfect fit for these bizarre Bose buds.
I'm a Bose fan too - but I'm not afraid to admit that these are a colossal waste of money and poorly designed fit. 3 of my friends have them, and they ALL HAVE THE SAME fitment problems. At best they "hang" onto your ear like a climber dangling from a dangerous precipice, only to fall out to your utter disappointment and frustration.
I thought to myself, "I'm being difficult. Let me try another size." I shoved a smaller size into my ear - and pushed super hard to lodge it in there. It stayed! And it hurt. And after a minute, it popped out. Garbage.
Luckily, during the time since I've owned these expensive Bose earbud paperweights, I've managed to locate my V-modas. Do yourself a favor - buy the V-modas. They'll fit ANY ear, no matter how alien or prosthetic, and you'll love the sound and function, not to mention the extra dollars you'll have left over.
They also come with this bizarre, cool-idea-but-poorly-implemented fabric cord that clips to both right and left wires so you can "dangle" the ear buds around your neck without them falling down. But this weird innovation adds to the tangle of the rat's nest every time you try to take the buds out of their case, and you'll waste a couple precious minutes of your life untangling them every single time you want to use them - while you try to convince yourself that they were worth the money...
Sorry Bose, but maybe there's a reason that every other in-ear bud manufacturer is making their in-ear gel buds shaped like a soft barrel and not a smashed assymetrical uvula. Kudos for trying to be innovative - but you failed in a big way when you didn't actually try them on before you approved their manufacture.
I'd rate these 0 stars if I could.
