Good: The sound and durability

Bad: THe jack is flimsy but carful

Comment: Hm These earphones I got for Xmas and I have to say these are simply the best in earphones I have had! sure they pick some dirt up though cleaning them thoroughly is important too! also the newer ones I have have a better go at tips and stay in because of the Fins Also Bose has not too much bass at all IMO they have the right range of frequencies and have done what I got them and asked them for! Well overall I am loving them

Good: Amazing sound quality, very comfortable to wear

Bad: earbuds fall off easily, not the best to use whilst running

Comment: first of all I have a pair of QC-15's so the noise cancelling feature on these isn't an issue. The majority of my music tends to be rather bassy (trance music ect) however, these earphones easily beat the majority of the competition playing less bassy music, as I have owned a wide variety of headphones (they still don't beat the Denon ahd7000's - which I got for free with my home cinema amp. Even better)

Some people may complain about the bass, however on some headphones the bass feels 'fake' and on there, although slightly too much bass for some people the bass on these feels rich and true.

I just happen to fall exactly into the market niche these headphones hold. However if you are in the market for top quality earphones these are seriously worth considering as the pros easily outweigh the cons. So head down to a pro audio stockist and try these baby's out for real

Good: They're Bose... the sound quality is *perhaps* better than others???

Bad: A bit painful to wear, get dirty, bulky 'phones and bulky jack adapter

Comment: Firstly, the CNET review is absolutely spot on... I have these headphones in right now, and as I was reading the review I was nodding along in agreement to every statement (headphones feeling like they were falling out with each nod).

I am a gadget freak, and always long for the best of everything; so wanted the best pair of headphones for my new iPod Touch I could find... I bought these to replace Sennheiser CX 300s (which are already pretty excellent) - and to be honest, with audio quality it is difficult to disparage...

The Bose are better... I THINK... but I can't be sure! As CNET say - the bass is a little too overcooked, giving the overall sound experience a slightly "Recorded in the toilet" kind of flavour... but that said, it is a warm sound... and the highs can be quite discreet sometimes (a nice acoustic guitar sound in a rock song comes as welcome relief when it comes!)

I feel like I have to keep adjusting the position of these 'phones in my ears to get the best sound - which is in the top ten of my biggest bug-bears in the world. And the more you adjust them, the sorer your ears get.

I bought these thinking they would be hands down the best in-ear headphones in the history of mankind, because they're Bose and because they cost £70.

What transpires is they're aiming for an emperors’ new clothes market... just because it says Bose in shiny silver coming out of your ear canal does not mean they're amazing...

And in fact my poor lug-holes are actually hurting a bit! :-(

Seriously... did Bose bother testing these themselves or WHAT?!
