Pros: They have good sound. Cons: Not made very well. Fit was never right. Background noise a real pain.
Summary: 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 tight, ... read more

Pros: Durable construction, comfortable eartips, nice case, decent sound.
Cons: Not a sealing earphone, low efficiency, bass a bit heavy, high price.
Summary: 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 sticking ... read more

Pros: They work, they really work!
Cons: $99 is a bit steep

Pros: Fantastic sound! Comfortable! 30-day guarantee
Cons: Minor - storage case does not have anything to which to wind the wires around
Summary: I have been a Bose fan for a long time so despite the bad reviews, I went ahead and bought these in-ear headphones - and I don't regret it. I just bought these in-ear headphones today. The Bose sales person informed me that this is the latest model - ... read more

Pros: Clear sound quality with surprising bass, unique look and excellent attention to detail
Cons: The ear pieces require some getting used to and nothing will sound as crisp anymore
Summary: 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 the ... read more

Pros: excellent sound quality, especially bass.
Cons: during strenuous activity or in cold weather they tend to fall out.
Summary: 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, but ... read more

Pros: Comfortable fit and great sound quality
Cons: It is possible to loose the soft tips
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: 30-day money back guarantee.
Cons: Cost a lot at $100 + tax and produced average sound.
Summary: As the weather has cooled off, I have started walking a couple of miles to the office from home. I typically lug Zune 30GB, but recently, I purchased a Zune 4GB model which is much more practical to carry. Unfortunately, the Zune came with a really ... read more

Pros: Can't think of anything except for the sound quality especially on the Bass side.
Cons: Everything else in the Review and the treble needs a little boost.
Summary: 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 tug. ... read more

Pros: interchangeable custom fit earpieces, heavy duty cord, carrying case
Cons: lacking in full depth of sound, and will not get LOUD.

Cons: Ear buds fall out during workouts

Pros: Amazing audio quality, perfect design, sound isolation is good as well.
Cons: The earbuds WILL fall off. Nothing you or Bose can do will change that.

Pros: Great sound, innovative design, gold plated jack.

Pros: Good fit, good sound, fantastic bass response, neat case.
Cons: Case is annoying to tie back up. May not fit everyones ear
Summary: These buds are probably the best performing for the price. The nearest sounding/quality buds cost over $150, but the difference these have is bass response. They fit fine in my ear, and I understand they have since redesigned the headphones to fit ... read more

Pros: Excellent sound. Just remember to disable bass and equalization... you won´t need sound enhancement.
Cons: Buds come off easily if not fitted properly. Too many imitations.
Summary: These earphones are definitely the thing to get. However, due to misunderstandings and a huge amount of products that are just imitations, the Bose in-ear phones have really bad fame. How do I know this?..... simply because I got an imitation

Pros: Great sound.
Cons: Replaceable buds neitrher stay in your ear nor on the headphones very well. Over priced.
Summary: 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

Pros: Comfort
Sound quality
Cons: Price
Summary: 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

Pros: They fit me far better than most earbuds do.
Cons: For the price, I expected them to last a LOT longer.
Summary: 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

Pros: Good build quality, carrying case.
Cons: Not well balanced: too much bottom, lack of definition
Summary: 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 boost"

Pros: Nice range, comfortable.
Cons: None - and I don't work for Bose.
Summary: 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 places

Pros: Nice looking. people see you wearing Bose earphones and think you have really have something.
Cons: Wrong! They are garbage. Stay far far away from this average product!
Summary: 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

Pros: The ability to return the earbuds to Bose within 30 days if not satisfied.
Cons: No noticeable difference in the quality of sound between Bose & standard earbuds.
Summary: 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 report

Cons: Pop out of your ears like bread from a toaster.
Summary: I love all Bose products except for these. Horrendous design. I am reviewing solely on the fact that they don't stay in the ears at all. Not true earbuds they simply rest in the cup of the lower ear, not well, however. These things shift around even when
