Better sound, better fit
Unlike most earbuds, Bose in-ear headphones are designed to be worn comfortably for extended periods of time. Our audio engineers developed contoured, soft silicone tips that rest easily in the outer bowls of your ears, not the pressure-sensitive ear canals.

The headphones come with removable tips in three sizes so you can tailor a fit that's right for you. You may find using a different size tip for each ear the most comfortable option. Bose in-ear headphones also come with a lanyard and clip for enhanced stability when you're on the move.

Better on the go
Bose in-ear headphones are engineered specifically as music headphones for use with MP3 players, laptops, and portable CD players. The cable's angled plug also fits directly into Apple iPhone and other sources with recessed headphone jacks. A sleek, protective carrying case is included, with enough extra room for a portable MP3.

"The only problem I've had is that the ear tips come off easily and get lost. I did however find out that BOSE is aware of the problem and has corrected it. Here is the link to get the three replacement tip sizes for free with the new design that helps them stay on better. [@]..." Read Full Review »

This product is terrible

"I have been using earbuds all my life. So I was thrilled when I heard that Bose was finally releasing earbuds. I have long thought that Bose produced superior quality sound. I was sadly disappointed. For 99 dollars this product is a complete rip off. First of all, the sound was to my ear no different. I have to keep the volume up almost all the way to hear the same sound I bought from a JVC earbud set when..." Read Full Review »

"Sound is ok for its price, but not quite near the "Audiophile" quality if u using real audiophile gear like STAX, AKG or GRADO. U need to use an EQ to push its limit, Bose works best with EQs thats for the record. It's mids & highs are kind a bland. I wish I can try it first B4 buying, I'm still in …"  Read Full Review »

"But who cares? The sound has more "bottom" than my v-moda vibes, and the fit is different. However, Ella and Louis sounded GREAT with the Bose--better than with Sony or the ipod earbuds. I listen to a lot of jazz, world, and latin music. I often use my ipod when in an airplane or library, grading. I …"  Read Full Review »
