Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Bose - Better Sound Through Research

Dedication to research and excellence. It's been the Bose approach to better sound since Dr. Amar G. Bose founded the company in 1964. Since those early days, Bose engineers have kept their focus on creating better technology. You'll find that focus exemplified in the Bose mobile in-ear headset.

Now it's easier than ever to enjoy Bose sound with your mobile phone calls and music. The Bose mobile in-ear headset lets you take calls and switch back to your music with one-touch ease. And its quality audio may be the best reason yet to listen to music on your phone.




Comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time
Convenient, High-Quality Audio

Hear the music on your phone with more range and realism. 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'll enjoy tonally balanced and clear sound for all your mobile music.

One-Touch Switching, Hands-Free Talking

When your phone rings, just push the answer/end button to pause your music and take the call. The omnidirectional mic on the back of the answer/end button picks up your voice clearly--no need to hold it to your lips. End the call with one more touch, and your music continues from where you left off.

Answering and Ending Calls

The headset includes an easy-to-use answer/end button located on the back of the inline microphone near the earphones. Simply press the button to perform an action. To answer calls, press and release the button once. To end calls, press and release the button once again.

Comfortable for Hours on End

Unlike conventional earbuds, this headset features silicone-tipped earphones designed to rest easily in the outer bowl of the ear, not the pressure-sensitive ear canal. Three sizes of contoured tips are also included so you can tailor a fit that's right for you. Take calls and listen to your music comfortably for hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars good bass, mic works well, August 14, 2009
By 
This review is from: Bose Mobile In-Ear Headset (Electronics)
I'm always a little leery of buying in-ear headphones, even the expensive ones from the likes of Shure. I tend to like more bass than what most standard headphone buds provide and if you are like me, you will be very pleased with the Bose in-ear phones. First, they are extremely comfortable. Much like the Shures, Bose includes 3 sizes of silicone plugs that allow you to change the sizes for the best fit. There's a very small piece that slides into your ear canal, but for the most part, they sit in the bowl of your ear with just the small piece directing music down the canal. Bass again, is very good (not as good as their around the ear headphones which I also own) but they are definitely more than adequate for my needs - bass can definitely be heard. There's a little bit of sacrifice on the treble end, but treble is still colorful. These do not fit like the Shures fit -- where the Shures are almost naturally noise-cancelling due to how they fit down your ear canal, these do not block out outside noise. I work in a relatively quiet environment and so if you don't mind listening to your music/audio with low humming of outside voices in the background, these aren't bad. If you're going to spend this much on a pair of ear buds and want the noise-cancellation, I'd recommend the Shures.

I use these with my iPhone 3GS and when a call is received, you can press the toggle switch on the headset wire to switch over to pick up the call and talk using the built in microphone. There's no need to remove the headphones from the 3.5mm jack in order to pick up the call. Conducting a test with a friend, the microphone sounded fine to the other party.

Summary:
Pros:
-- Good bass
-- Good execution of microphone
-- comes with case that fits iPhone
-- Comes with lanyard as well as a clip for positioning the headphone cable

Cons:
-- Treble a little muddy

5.0 out of 5 stars Best mobile headphones!!, July 20, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bose Mobile In-Ear Headset (Electronics)
I have been looking for headphones to replace the mediocre, at best, that Apple suppled with the iPhone. Well I want to tell you that these have the best sound of the multiple sets I have either purchased and tested. Their full sound has a depth and richness that I had not experienced with any other headphones and they are extreemly compfortable. They function well with the iPhone in answering calls and utiilizing the new voice activation that the new iPhone 3Gs includes. They have the best sound and function that Bose has to offer!!

Although a little pricy, they were worth every penny I spent. I now enjoy listening to the iPod function of the iPhone. I recommend them to you; you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iphone 3gs, August 11, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bose Mobile In-Ear Headset (Electronics)
So, you just got your new iphone 3gs. Too bad the headphones that came with it are trash. What are you going to do? Well, you could get the Bose mobile headset or one of the Shure mobile headsets. I tried the dj beatz headphone which is very uncomfortable. Then, I decided I needed a mic and my options were narrowed down for me. These headphones have good bass but, not as good as beatz headphones though. However, it's a 100% more comfortable and the bass is good too. Believe me when I say I would have returned it with the quickness if the bass wasn't good. Very, very comfortable.
