What is it: In-ear headphones with carrying case
What we think: They don't block out noise, but they do provide much more bass than stock earbuds

We like:
Strong bass; good overall detail; not intrusive in your ear canal
We don't like:
Don't block out any noise; fit doesn't feel quite as secure as advertised; silicone tips come off very easily; pick up tonnes of dirt
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Bose In-Ear Headphones are a hybrid set, falling right between regular earbuds and deep in-ear 'phones. They don't block out noise, but they do provide much more bass than stock earbuds -- almost too much, in fact
