I was originally going to buy the coiled version since I /really/ don't want to hold 11 feet of wire in my hand while running several miles but I heard that the coil REALLY weighs you down significantly. Which one should I buy?

Hey guys have any feedbacks on BOSE IE2 IN EAR HEADPHONES? I really want to know if it sounds good and if it pops a pretty good bass with it? They're still not available here so any comments will be well appreciated.. thanks guys..

I don't need anything absolutely, mind blowingly amazing. I just want something better than ibuds that can actually make my FLAC worthwhile.   I work around cars a lot, so I'd rather them not be sounds isolating. Thanks. Best I've found so far are the Shure SE530's but I really dont want to...

Hi guys i'm new here.   I have around £200 to spend on a pair of earphones. However, I don't know whether to buy the Monster Turbines (The standard edition) or the Bose IE2's. I listen to alot of rap/hiphop if that helps. Im generally looking to see which has better sound/durability and...

I need help finding a good solution for running.  I've tried my PMX-100s, but they require too much fiddling and adjustment during the run.  My trusty JVC Marshmallows have too much isolation to be safe around cars.  My iPod headphones would be a great solution, but they hurt my ears after about...

Brainwavz M2 cost $60 (including shipping) Bose IE2 cost $70~90 (70 when you buy it in ebay).   People say Brainwavz M2 sounds good. But many people also say IE2 also sounds good.   Seems like isolation is better in M2.   Comfort is better in IE2. (I mean, it's bose. How can it...

  I am a noob at quality earphones.   I was given a Bose IE2 in early December.  It sounded better than anything I previously had.  Reading this forum, I got Gary's PA2V2, which made the Bose IE2 sound much better.   Two weeks ago, I got a Klipsch S4.  I like it even more, although I...

I currently have the Bose IE2 in-ear headphones. I'm wanting a good studio-type headphone now, and seeing as the ATH-M50's are so recommended I'm thinking about getting those. I'm wondering how different the sound will be in comparison to my in-ear Bose IE2's. Will the bass be lower/higher? Is...
