Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best in-ear phones I have bought. The sound is clear and the base is perfect. Worth the price You can never go wrong with Bose.

As are all Bose products these earbuds are expensive. You can find other ones that sound just as good. (I've had Sony and Audio Technica and Koss ones that have sounded as good and are cheaper.) What makes these work for me is the combination of good sound, they stay in my ears (which is rare for me), and they are the most comfortable ones I've ever had. The construction is very good as well.

I have the sports version of these too and these sound just as good. I bought these for my wife. Very clean and accurate sound. The only complaint is that the bass isn't as strong as I would like. I like that this design don't insert into my ears all the way, so I can still hear things around me, and my ears don't stink from extended use. I also had Monster earbuds that completely sealed in my ears and the sound and bass were great, but if I moved around there would be annoying thumping that would occur with every step or touch. I also couldn't hear the outside world when running, and my ears would stink when using for an extended time or from sweating, so I bought the Bose as an alternative. The bass isn't as good, but there is absolutely no thumping and I can hear the outside world too. My wife's sweat hasn't hurt them yet, so if you don't run in the rain, you may want to save some money and get these instead of the sports model. The storage case is nice too. My sports model came with a nice but useless arm band that didn't fit my phone

I love these buds. They put out superior sound along with the deep tones. Not to mention very comfortable...I have worn these all day at work with no discomfort at all. When I go jogging, these stay put. I don't have to keep adjusting them like my old one that jostel out of my ears ever so often. Durability is very good so far too. I've had these for about 2 months with no problems. For $100, these are the best buds I've ever owned. With Bose though, you absolutely get what you pay for and then some.

I own 2 pair of over the ear Bose headphones and this is my first pair of Bose ear buds. I was pleasantly surprised with quality of the bass and the overall sound is excellent. It took a few times to get them to sit right in my ears until i figured out the fit, but do not have any issues now. I use these mainly while doing cardio and have not had any problems with them falling out like other cheaper ear buds I have purchased. I am pleased with the product!

I purchased these headphones because i needed a new pair for working out with and now they have become my everyday pair. And i can say they are worth the money. I bought a pair of Sony headphones for the same price, and these one blew the Sony ones out of the park. The only downfall is they are not as noise suppresive as the Sony pair. But overall they have sound that cannot be matched and they are the most comfortable ones I have ever owned!

Much clearer, fuller sound (range) than all of the Skull Candy, in ear, I've used previously - at the price point ($80). Very comfortable in ear for a few hours; would not recommend using in your ear for an entire day. My biggest gripe is the cord length. It's ideal for an arm band or even hip pocket length (use with mobile). Setting this on my desk for use with my phone is stretching it; it will not reach the PC jack at knee height without moving a case next to me.

- great bass - clear sound - comfortable - durable - don't slip out

These seem to have good sound and are very comfortable. They stay in your ear and you can't even feel them. I ended up taking them back because I use them for working out. I workout I a gym and want passive sound isolation, these don't have any sound isolation. Plus, the volume with these doesn't seem loud enough. I don't turn my music way up, but when I used them on my iPad watching Netflix I had to turn the volume all the way up.

These are the best earbuds I have owned, especially for the price. First off, the fitted earbuds stay in my ears while sitting at my desk and while on the treadmill. Second, the sound is very crisp with deep bass. The cost is well worth the investment.

Absolutely love these ear buds! Great sound quality and comfort. I hate having anything in my ears and could not wear any brand of ear buds until Bose came out with these. I love the different ear pieces for different ear sizes. Feels like a custom fit. I have purchased four or five pairs of these over the years.

I bought these to use primarily while biking. They stay firmly seated in my ears even on the bumpiest of terrain. I have tried other ear buds that either fell out or sounded like an AM radio. The StayHear tips that come with these have three different sizes, so you should have no issues with getting a good, secure fit. These have a very full, natural sound. None of the frequencies are over enhanced as with some other brands. I really like that they are not noise cancelling and allow me to hear any others on the trail, or cars on the road who might be approaching and overtaking from behind.

The sound quality is great. There is great clarity in the highs and good bass response. I previously had a pair of JBL synchros in ear headphones. The sound between these two is very compatible. Bose wins out just barely, mostly due to better all around package. My JBL's headphone jack started to mess with my cell phone causing the volume to auto decrease. Other people have had this same issue. Then JBL in ear rubber pieces kept falling off. So when I got to the gym. I spent 5-10 minutes hunting in my bag for the ear pieces. Bose ear pieces fit perfectly, great sound, I listen to alot of EDM. The bass response is great. Bose wins on minor issues, the rubber ear piece doesn't fall off.......yet. Bose product comes with a nice carrying case. JBL and Bose are leaders in this area. Beats are not good headphones.......Beats is good marketing.

I have a previous version of these (before they came out with the StayHear tips), and they sounded great. These are just as good, and maybe a small step better. But the new tips make them way better overall, because they are comfortable in the ear, and they stay put. Good job, Bose!

At first I was wary of the strange look of these earphones, but they are very comfortable and, like all Bose products, have great sound. These earphones stay in even during a workout! With earphones, you really do get what you pay for and this was a solid purchase.

These earbuds are so comfortable and the sound is well rounded and deep. I use these working out and they stay in great. This is my second pair, lost the first but they are definitely worth it

The are the best overall in comfort, style, and sound you can get for the price. I can wear these for hours and they don't hurt my ears nor do they fall out in the gym.

Superior sound and comfort, the best on the market for what I've tried. These are my second set of buds from Bose. My previous set were the IE2 and I've had them for about 4 years and had defiantly put them to the test. I've been forced to replace them, for these, which are the successor to the IE2. Sound is amazing and comfort seems to be exactly the same. Design is a little different with an updated cleaner look. The reason I did not give these 5 stars is I am concerned with the design of how the buds plug into the mp3/ phone. I feel that overtime the cord will rub and wires will become exposed. Besides that one personal flaw, I would have to say for 100 bucks I'm happy to be listening to the superb sound bose has always provided.

Nothing I've owned compares to Bose earbuds. Definitely recommended if you care about sound quality and comfort. Improved design also stays in your ear better. Usually can get for 10-20% off!

could never find comfortable earbuds till these babies. They are great. No pain. They stay on and the sound is what you expect from Bose. Great base. Purchased a set For my daughter also
