Our take on the Bose® mobile in-ear headset

The Bose® mobile in-ear headset combines clean, natural sound with the ability to conveniently take calls from your music phone. Advanced Bose sound technology ensures that you'll enjoy your music with lifelike detail and surprisingly rich bass. Plus, a microphone with an answer button built into the cord lets you take phone calls when you're listening to music on your cell phone. It's compatible with most of today's popular music phones — including the Apple® iPhone® — and comes with a range of plug adapters.*

The ear tips are angled to rest gently in the outer part of your ear canals, and their ergonomic design holds them securely in place. You get three different sizes of soft, silicone ear tips, so you can best match the in-ear headphones to the natural shape of your ear. A compact carry case provides convenient storage for your headphones, and a lanyard and clothing clip help keep the 'phones in place while you're on the move.

Features

Overview: The Bose mobile in-ear headset lets you take calls and switch back to your music from your mobile phone with one-touch of a button. The Bose mobile in-ear headset provides quality Bose sound from your mobile phone while offering one-touch switching between your music and your phone calls, using the inline answer/end button and microphone. The Bose mobile in-ear headset offers a comfortable fit design with three sizes of contoured ear-tips. The Bose mobile in-ear headset is compatible with the Apple iPhone as well as a variety other popular mobile phones.

TriPort Acoustic Headphone Structure: Like all Bose headphones, the mobile in-ear headset features proprietary audio reproduction technology that delivers impressive low frequencies from small headphones―without artificial bass boost. You enjoy tonally balanced and clear sound for all your mobile music. Bose proprietary technology and innovative design allow the drivers to create deep lows while keeping the headphones small and lightweight. The result is comfortable headphones that deliver the full, balanced low notes of your music.

Hands-Free Talking: When your phone rings, just push the integrated answer/end button on the headset's cable to pause your music and take the call. The omnidirectional mic on the back of the answer/end button picks up your voice clearly, so there is no need to hold it to your mouth. The other party is heard through the headset's earbuds. You can end the call with one more touch of the button, and your music continues from where you left off.

Comfortable Fit: Unlike conventional earbuds, this headset features silicone-tipped headphones designed to rest easily in the outer bowl of the ear, not the pressure-sensitive ear canal. Three sizes (SM/MED/LG) of contoured tips are also included so you can tailor a fit that is right for you and take calls and listen to your music comfortably for hours.

Single Earpiece Compatible: The Bose mobile in-ear headset can be used with only the right (R) earpiece in your ear. This allows you to take calls and still hear surrounding sounds.

Very Pleased - Recommend

Written By Kevin L, Royal Oak, MI on Friday, September 17, 2010
 
Quite pleased with my purchase. Exceeded my expectations actually.

They are far more comfortable than typical ear buds. The sound quality is so
much better, especially in the bass range. The microphone works great for taking
and making calls. The lanyard ... is a very nice bonus feature ... you wonder
how you got along without one. The carry case was a nice unexpected touch as well.

Don

Written By Don O., Waterbury, Ct. on Monday, September 13, 2010
 
Sound quality is very good, however having a tough time to get them to sit in the ear properly without feeling like their falling out.
A couple of flaws would be that the button on the chord does not alway work when you go try answere the phone.
The other thing is that there is no volumn control on the chord button, a little cumbersome but you get used to it for the sound quality.

Hope this helps you.

No for Bose

Written By Robert, Whippany, New Jersey on Wednesday, February 03, 2010
 
The sound is excellent - all BOSE products always are.
The downside and it is big is that I have purchased two pair over the last 18 months and neither pair have lasted more than 6 months. In both instances the wires became loose and you lose most of the sound. I took very good care of both sets so I am very disappointed in their lack of durability.

Superior comfort, warm sound.

Written By Emmett, Mobile, AL on Monday, September 21, 2009
 
I never understood why a iPod Touch or iPhone comes with a $10 pair of earphones. No one should ever use the included Apple earphones.

I currently own the Shure E4c earphones which retail at $400.00. They are perfect for sound, but I get tired of something inside my ear canal.

The Bose have a $75 should, which is superior to the original Apple ear buds.

The Bose have superior comfort because they rest in your ears. Please note the Apple ear buds also rest in your ears, but unlike the Apple ear buds the Bose stay in your ears if you move any and the sound stays constant as you look around or even walk around.

If you are looking for Superior comfort would good warm sound Bose is the only solution.

If ear canal ear phones work for you then Shure is awesome.

I currently own Shure e4c, Sony 85's, several Apple ear buds, and now the Bose Headset.
