I've had and tried a lot of headphones over the years. The original Apple buds were very good in terms of sound quality but, as everyone knows, would not stay in your ears or even fit lots of people. The second round of Apple buds were awful. I had tried some others as well, Phillips (as bad as I expected) and numerous others, and then tried some Bose - a generation earlier than these. Quality sound reproduction is essential, which they had, and the rubber attachments to keep them in one's ear worked extremely well. It was a no-brainer and I used them for years until, as others have noted from time to time, I got shorts in the wiring where it joins the ear plug. Sad to say but, hey, I really got my money's worth and I've had decades of experience with wiring. Stuff like that happens. If it happens within a year, then that's a problem but two or three years, not so much. Anyway, I bought some Beats Tour2 buds from Apple and they fit fairly well (bulky) but the sound quality was not up to par - thin, bass rolloff starting in the lower midrange, and little stereo breadth. My musical likes run all over the place: trip hop, house, jazz, rock, classical, Old School. I would have thought it would be suited for one of those genre but it didn't. This version of Bose has the quality of sound I want, they're lighter and more natural feeling than the Beats buds. Quality feel also. Highly recommend them to anyone who likes music and not just a beat.

You can put the missing bass back in these by using alternate Bose tips and turning down 150Hz in your equalizer
I really like these *only* after doing the following: (Bass lovers should take note!)If you want to have any real bass (the deep "thump" in the 60Hz range), you MUST also buy the different bud-covers used in Bose's noise cancelling Quiet Comfort (QC) earbuds. These have an extra in-ear canal flange that give the necessary seal, like a typical in-ear bud, for bass to be produced. The tips that come with SoundSport will not produce this seal.You can find the alternative buds as "Bose 362538-.... StayHear with Tips, Pair of 2". Make sure to buy the same size as you wear in the standard SoundSport tips. This solution has been noted by many people in reviews of this product and in reviews of the 362538 alternative tips.**Important note about sound adjustment**Bose representatives on this product page (and the alternative tips product page) keep saying that you shouldn't use the different tips because the buds are already tuned to make up for bass-loss when there is no seal. This is misleading. The buds seem to be tuned to greatly increase base around the 150Hz range. But the super low 60Hz "thump" is never recovered. What you should do is use the 362538 tips instead of standard tips AND afterwards adjust your equalizer to turn down the 150Hz so it's not overwhelming. See attached picture of Spotify's adjusted equalizer on iOS.

The box contained earphone, pouch, extra 2 sets of buds.
Ok, so this headphone is really good. The clarity is outstanding, you can hear even the faintest of sounds. Zero noise. Lives up to the brand name.
The sound isolation is a tad low, and you can hear outside noise if you're in a crowded street with lots of horns and stuff, but the good thing is, you can still hear the music, even with large noise around you.
The buds are very comfortable and fits nicely into the earhole. Hours of listening and no irritation.
And the look is awesome too.
Get it definitely if you want a nice affordable earphone by Bose.
