im pretty sure it's going to be overpriced (so how good it sounds makes no difference to me). not bashing bose, but i dont buy items where you pay for the brand (and not the product)

Oooh, polemic, how exciting.

Personally I don't care in the slightest. Considering the design team and marketing celeries involved, I can't see them being value for money, but beyond that, who knows?

Meh.

No word on price yet, but the IE and AE phones should go on sale the 12th.

ooh come on people. they look UGLY. UGGGGGLLLIIIIIEEEEEE. they make me want to get a pair of stock ibud. i don't care how good they might sound
this is probably the first time i find bose ugly. they always look(remember look, not touch, not sound) ok or better than ok. this time, ugly

I think they look pretty cool. I like that little grill thing on the back (Though, as some have speculated, it might not be an actual grill).

I look forward to hearing these, if onyl because it will offer me personal perpective on how good/not overpriced my A8s are.

This is the right approach to take.

Unfortunately your opinions will be (and are being) smothered by the usual sea of "Bose and B&O suck LOLROFLMAO" comments.

I am actually looking forward to trying a pair! Although their products may be overpriced they sound ok to me.

Name me one BOSE product that isn't vastly overpriced?? The sound is awful when you take into account the price.. I'm sure these IEM's will sell for 99.00 or more, with the sound quality & build of a 30.00 pair..

BOSE main purpose is to misinform the consumer & charge outrageous prices for average sounding audio.. The BOSE 1,2,3 systems cost like 100.00 to make, & BOSE charges over a grand for them..They don't spend their money on making better sound, it all goes to marketing!! Sorry..BOSE isn't a name I can trust..
No BOSE equpiment is good for the money..Even if the IEMS are good, it won't matter..The inflated prices will drove those to lower cost IEMS that sound better..

Sad, isn't it? I suspect that these "IEM's" will be around $150. Of course, they will be better than regular iBuds, because Bose probably doesn't want the masses to find out that these aren't really up to snuff.

Yes..If BOSE actually priced them decently they might get semi positive reviews here..But knowing BOSE I'm sure they wil sell between 100.00-200.00.. It just irks me when ppl say BOSE is hi end..

I think you have these all wrong, that grill isn't open to the outside, there is a powerful rear-firing subwoofer behind it to provide the bloated flatulent bass that defines the Bose sound.

I'm just glad that finally a company who knows how to make a decent iem has stepped up. Now if they could just call them the iBose, life would be perfect!

Seriously though, I'd be interested to know if Bose has finally engineered something decent and reasonably priced. I doubt it but you never know.

 

[warpdriver]

I dislike Bose stuff as much as anybody can, but honestly....I'd like to hear these. I am pretty disappointed with most of the cheap IEM's out there and maybe Bose can be different enough in the right ways for me. Most single driver IEM's don't really have good bass impact or sufficient highs.

Having said that, it will probably sound like crap, and will very likely be overpriced (I think most IEM's are severely overpriced so Bose can't lose too much here)....but I will reserve some judgement until I hear them.
