I cannot disagree with you more. I have had them for one week and the bass was strong (that ruined all my music (classical piano), but might be good for some 'fun' listening to bass heavy music), but the middle and highs were non-existent.
But that's not why people are bashing Bose, I think. I think it's because of the expectations from a $99 earphone. You can buy some entry level Shures, Audio-Technica's or UE's for that price and those are much, much, much better. The bashing is probably because people who don't know better say they are good, because they haven't heard anything better.
The best of the Bose IE was the design. I really liked that. Beautiful.
