Bought a Bose in ear ii from Rakuten, but it does not sounds very clear, at least not as clear as bose on ear 2. Is it normal? Rakuten do not sell fake bose, right.

So, being a sound junkie, musician in my past life and pretty much someone who appreciates quality sound, I want to find a great pair of headphones to replace my Bose In Ear headphones.   I am going to buy today 4-6 different headphones just to try them out at home and possibly keep 1 pair...

Hi,  I used to have a (very old) pair of Bose in-ear headphones. They look like the IE2 that's currently on their website, but without the StayHear tips. Anyway, the cable has detached itself on one of the earpieces, rendering it useless. I really like the sound from this pair, because I like...

Hi forum! I want to upgrade my old ZEN Vision:M to something with a good audio quality, a real equalizator and microSD slot. I've recived a 6G iPod Nano (the one with touch screen controls) and with the IEM that i have (a pair of Bose In-Ear, the model before the IE2) isn't working well: too...

Hello, Implying my username, I am a noob at the whole audiophile community and I am doing research for my blog about consumer electronics. I am just wondering that are beats really that bad in terms of sound quality? Are the sony MDR XB-500 actually better in terms of sound quality? I would...

I know people don't like either of these brands, but these are my choices. I am just a casual listener with my iPhone 4s and listen to pop,r&b, and acoustics. What are pros and cons of both and which is the better choice? Thank you

Hey guys,   Looking for a pair of new IE monitors. These are my final choices. Need help in deciding which one i should buy.   -Listen to mainly electronic music. More specifically EDM. - Would prefer sound isolation - Accurate sound reproduction and balanced sound are important.  ...

Well after spending $100 on some BOSE earphones. I realized how crappy they were since the quality wasn't that great and somehow the right earphone stopped working after the 4th day. I'm obviously going to either ask for a refund or a replacement. What I'm looking for is a list of good...

Hi, I’m new to Head-Fi and found this forum when I was searching for headphone reviews and I’m very pleased with it so thanks to all you guys for making this a great archive of information. After extended use of the “search” option and reading several threads I “almost” found a suitable...

I recently refurbished a Bose IE, so I don't know what it's supposed to sound like.  Music definitely comes out, and it's all there, however, they sound anywhere near as good as I expected.  I was surprised, since I like the Bose Triports, and some "audiophiles" here who have bashed the...

No I am not trying to start another anti Bose thread, I am simply posting this to show you that others do know Bose is overpriced. http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/r...his-231867.php Did one of you guys send this to them? ****** Gizmodo, sorry I get my sites mixed up, can a mod change...

Let me first mention I am not very knowledgeable on headphones, I'm looking for good quality In-ear headphones that sound amazing! I am willing to spend $100 at the most, but I do want superior quality and sound at this price range IMO.   I'm coming from the Sony MDREX38IP which lasted me a...

I have been using Bose IE now for 1year and i felt like upgrading, so i went and picked up some se115's. Can anyone tell me if the se115's need 'burn in' time as i find the bass lacking quite abit. I have already got a good tight seal with memory foam tips but they seem inferior compared to my...

It's 5 AM, I'm sitting in a university library the night before finals, and I have a problem.   I should be studying, but instead I'm just sitting here listening to my recently re-discovered Phish and Beatles remaster flacs, writing my first post on here, and can't decide which pair of...

Yeah, so I forgot my earbuds in my jacket pocket after a long car trip and I was really tired and I did laundry...I didn't really check my pockets and I found my Bose earbuds after the wash, so they didn't go through the dryer.  The little metal mesh screen thing that is inside the earbud part...

I'm liking the fold-flat feature. And since the AE has been a fixture for the last few years I've thought about upgrading it. Any notes of differences? Improvements?

Hi, currently logitech had a deal with the SuperFi 3's for $35, personally I already own the bose in ears and I find their kinda muddy, so I'm wondering if I should take advantage of the deal, would I be getting a upgrade? Thanks

I know all you guys hate Bose brand. But Im getting offered Bose in-ear headphones for $40. Brand New. Its around my budget. And Im not sure if there are any alternatives around that price. Let me know if you guys know of any.

Just got a pair from Buy.com and I got to say they aren't bad at all. Lets put it this way, I've heard < $50 iems that sound worse (and if you include the Bose iem, then these sound better then $100 iems). At first they were gritty and a bit peaky in the upper trouble but they settled down with...

Hey all, Today I went into a bose store and got talked into listening to a set of Bose ie2's with my ipod.  I didnt have time to put them through their pases or anything but why does everyone put them down. I didn't think they sounded as bad as everyone makes them seem?

Hi   I'm looking to buy some new IEMs. I listen to all kinds of music, and I'll be using them with my Nexus One Smartphone.   Overall sound and comfort are my preferences (They will mostly be used while traveling)   I've been looking at these candidates:   Klipsch Image S4...
