In your ears

7 Comments

Bose has released a new headphone set called the IE2 Audio Headphone. The earpieces are made from soft silicone gel and feature a unique convex design. The design allows the earpieces to essentially form a seal with the listener’s ear, creating a better sound environment and ensuring the buds stay in place during strenuous activity and exercise. Three sizes are available to match the listener’s ear. The headphones are semi-translucent for a subtle appearance. 12,600 yen

As long as they last...

I have Shure earbuds and they sound great and are good at sound isolating. But I have to use the flange type earpieces which you have to cram into your ear canals. I will wait for the reviews of the Bose.

My Sennheiser IE 6 only lasted 8 months before the sound went in the left earbud. These Bose cost about 40% less than I paid but not sure if it's worth it if they're going to bite the dust soon too. Anyone here with experience on Bose's build quality?

BOSE build quality is good, the products seem to fill a niche market though. However, I'd be willing to give these a try, I use earbuds all the time and I find them to be quite irritating - literally. The itching is unbearable... anything that you don't have to jam down the ear hole would be a blessing...

I purchased my girl her second pair of these this weekend. @paulinusa - My Shure's went dead after about one year, which was regretable. All in all, I think that the sound is fantastic, and for once, their in ear technology is spot on. Its nice to not have to cram in rubber or foam into your ears, but still get good loud sound. I think that with no earphone will you ever get a lasting product. They are good for about 1-2 years and since their abuse rate can be quite high, it will vary from person to person. My girl will break hers no doubt about it.

Bose are not worth the money folks! Bose is a fraud of a company when it comes to quality sound products.
