This product is so darn comfortable. Way more comfortable than traditional-style earbuds. I was looking for a set of earbuds to replace my defective V-Moda earbuds w/mic. This aforementioned set needed to have excellent sound quality as well as a mic for phone calls. I looked into many brands and I decided to go Bose after reading reviews. What I do like about the Bose package is this: The comfort factor is perfect. Some positive remarks for this set is it has well-made construction(cable wires feel nice and thick), the carrying case is wonderful to hold the set and even big enough to fit both the set and the iphone, the extra silicone ear tips proved useful, and the headphone jack looks of higher quality (gold plated) than standard headphone jacks. Call voice clarity is very good on both ends of the call and the call/end, music play/pause button works well. The bad: Does not have volume up/down or music track forward/reverse remote in-line control. It doesn't create an air tight seal with the opening of your ear. This draw-back hinders bass from hitting deep and hard. They sit in the bowl of your ear before the canal and have a tiny neck that protrudes and sit in the hole of your ear. (My V-Moda's hit bass really good but...didn't last long) Cable wires can get tangled if you're careless and just shove them in your pocket. Also the mic needs to be positioned well to work properly. Overall, if your main concern in buying these is good music clarity with phone call capabilities...go for it. If you expect audiophile level performance in music(these aren't Grado's) than invest in a more sealed type of earbud set, otherwise go for a full over the head/ear headphone set like some Grado's or Beyerdynamics. BTW this set sounds awesome with a headphone amp like the Pa2v2 from eletric-avenue or the Fiio E5/E1. The call capabilities WILL NOT work with this set if not plugged directly into the phone. I hope this review helps tip the scales in your decision, good luck!

I was tired of not getting enough bass in my in-ears and tried the Bose. When using them with a 6 band or higher equalizer they're fine; you can roll off enough bass to make them sound spectacular. The problem is with my iPhone-with only "Bass Reducer" to choose from, the phones are still really muddy and not accurate at all. If Apple ever fixes the iPhone to allow developers to market band EQ apps, these will rock. Very comfortable. But with the limited EQ capabilities of the iPhone at present, these Bose are not the answer.

If there's anyone who still has an iPhone 3G ( like I do ) then here's a tip for helping this headset mic and pause/play button to work. File the tip of the plug down a bit. Lets the plug go in a bit farther so the third ring contacts the appropriate spot. Did the same thing with a recent $20 pair of headphones with similar function. And it work great!
Try it out if you wish to. I know they're a bit expensive! Oh yeah, not for the active person!
