The Bose IE2 In-Ear Audio Headphones pick up where the original Bose in-ear models left off to offer an even more pleasurable listening experience. The headphones use a proprietary TriPort acoustic structure to provide greater low-frequency output than most conventional earbuds. An enhanced acoustic design incorporates a new port for smoother, more natural audio.

The unique in-ear design and 3 sizes of StayHear interchangeable silicone eartips provide a stable, secure, and comfortable fit. The StayHear tips have a unique design that fits inside the bowl of the ear and naturally conforms to the ear's upper ridge. The in-ear design also provides isolation from environmental noise, allowing you to focus on your music. The unique black and white cable has enhanced flexibility and durability to withstand the rigors of daily use.

Intended for use with portable audio devices such as MP3 and CD players, the IE2 headphones have an angled 3.5mm plug that provides wide compatibility with a variety of products including Apple devices, MP3 players, computers, tablets, and more. A clothing clip and leather carrying case are included to prevent tangles and provide convenient storage.

    Best earbuds I've ever used! When I first got them I actually thought they had to much bass, which is pretty amazing for earbuds. But after I let dad listen to them he said that he though it sounded about right. I finally realized that my normal Ipod earbuds just had a ton of treble! I used them on the bus today and they were wonderful. I only had to turn my Ipod up to half the normal level because of the noise canceling (they do not suction to your ears either.)They fit extremely well in my ears also.
    Overall awesome earbuds!

    Comments about Bose IE2 In-Ear Audio Headphones:

    I've been looking for a great pair of headphones for years, but I could never wear earbuds. I tried on my friend's pair of these and knew they were worth it. Not only are they really comfortable and never fall out (even when exercising), but the sound quality is fantastic!

              I use these for my TV, My MP3 player, and my voice recorder to review speach's. I have never owned a better pair of head phones. I have had the Bose IE2 in my ears for as long as 10 hours and did not even know they were there. Comfort is an under statement. I like them so much I bought a second pair to give mt best friend for her birthday.

                Outstanding sound, excellent well-rounded bass. The fit is still not exactly right and it could be a little less price-wise. However, a huge improvement over the Sony's that I had previously.

                Great sound, decent highs, good lows. For [$] they meet my standards for an earbud. I love them, also you don't have to worry about them breaking with the BOSE 1 year warranty. The only thing that I do not like is the length of the cord. I can't have my iPod in my pocket and the headphones in at the same time, and I could never work out with it in my pocket either. I also love the new earbuds, they stay in my ear like no other earbud I have had.

                            I owned the previous Bose in ear headphone model and really loved them, so naturally when I lost them I immediately went to get another pair, to my surprise they were no longer available.

                            So I reluctantly (because of the weird shape) got this new ones...

                            They sound even better than the other model, and pretty comfortable too!

                              These headphones are the next best thing to wearing nothing at all. The usual fatigue felt from the conventional ear buds has been eliminated by the unique design. I'm also hearing more musical information than I've experienced with high end speakers. Dollar for dollar these headphones have exceeded all my expectations. Quality is stamped all over these headphones. They are the best audio decision I've ever made. Your ears will thank you, and the smile on your face will let the world know just how happy you are listening to a audio miracle. Thanks Bose!

                                My main use of these is at the gym while doing cardio or lifting weights. They stay in my ear better than earbuds, but I would like a deeper/tighter fit to my ear. Keep in mind though, that I am pretty picky about how earbuds fit. The sound is very good, which is expected from Bose.

                                  Best earbuds I've ever used! When I first got them I actually thought they had to much bass, which is pretty amazing for earbuds. But after I let dad listen to them he said that he though it sounded about right. I finally realized that my normal Ipod earbuds just had a ton of treble! I used them on the bus today and they were wonderful. I only had to turn my Ipod up to half the normal level because of the noise canceling (they do not suction to your ears either.)They fit extremely well in my ears also.
                                  Overall awesome earbuds!
