Bose In Ear Headphones
I am not an audiophile, though I do know above average equipment over your typical storewide brands.
I was really looking and thinking of Klipsch or Sennheiser headphones, but last night the current pair (the original Apple pair) died. Now I was doing careful research for my next pair prior to the panic, but now I was forced to run out and get what I could find. Very little in the way of headphones for the Iphone in stores. Bose looked like the only reasonable higher end model, so it was purchased.
Listened to these for about three hours with various shades of music, industrial, indie rock, alternative rock, jazz, old skool punk rock and some various styles of electronic. Only one track sounded miserable and that is chalked up to a bad initial recording (Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead).
There are obviously some limitations to the headphones, naturally do to size, but also because each track was recorded as a 256 kbps mp3 file. The music sounded a little muted and somber, however it certainly did not sound dead. There was some liveliness to the mid's (mid range) and the stereo seperation created some fascinating sonic 3D images.
There has been a lot of negative reviews and comments about the lack of bass. The reviews with people saying that there is no bass with these headphones must be tone deaf, hearing impaired or listening to poorly recorded mp3's. Its not the deep earth shattering bass from a home speaker or subwoofer, but enough to satisfy you for the music the way it was intended to be heard (without bass enhancement). The overall bass seemed warm and real and not enhanced. The natural feel of the bass brought a nice balance to the mid's and the music with some flavor.
The package comes with S/M/L earpieces. I have a small head, small enough that a "one size fits all" baseball cap is too big for me. The default M seemed to fit perfectly. These were used sitting on my porch, enjoying a few beers and watching the sunset. My head was moving around for most tracks played and the earbuds did not budge. If you were to use these for some kind of activity such as, jogging, where your ears would become sweaty, these would more than likely slip out easily.
They seemed to fit comfortably into the ear canal, though at times I had a slight numbness sensation that came and went throughout my use. This was not serious enough to detract from the music, nor cause me to remove the headphones.
The quality of the headphones makes them a bit overpriced. If taken care of and not used in a rough manner, they will last without issue. For those on the go, travelling far and wide mingled with the bustling crowd, these could easily break in the chaos of everyday life. The plug is angled and is an accident waiting to happen.
There are not a lot of negative things I can say about the headphones, except that they are a little on the pricey side for what you get overall. $50-$60 would be a better deal.
