The Bose earphones I purchased come with both good and bad. First, the good. The sound is quite lovely compared to Shure headphonesHeartbeats headphones (http://www.goodej2010.com) I had recently purchased. It’s full, bright, has a good base, and generally an overall nice level of sound reproduction. However, every time one of my friends wants to listen, they look at the ear pieces strangely and wonder how it fits in their ear. Their concern is only a microcosm of the flawed design of the ear pieces. They are loose, uncomfortable at times, prone to quick dirtying, and the silicon buds come off too easily. However, the real reason I’m writing this review is because of durability. Originally, I had the headsets for about 4 months before one of the headphones completely stopped making sound. Politely, Bose offered to replace them with a new set for me. However, after using the new set for about 5 months, the SAME problem has arisen. Bose will not replace them a second time. Some might say this comes with poor care, but I assure you that I LOVE music and am quite frugal; I can’t spend money on expensive headphones every half of a year. I never wrap them in a coil, smashed them, left them in high or low Bose earphones headphones (http://www.goodej2010.com)temperature for any amount of time, twisted them, bite them, pinched them, or ANYTHING. Sure, choose Bose if you like good sound. But be warned: it won’t last nearly as long as other brands.
