I have a pair of bose ie2's. They are much too bass heavy. is there any way i can make them sound better?

Mess around with the EQ in your DAP/computer see if that helps. If thats a no go might want to try new headphones.

I Listen to them on my Galaxy SII, And even when i try changing the EQ options, I see no difference in the sound. If I sell my bose, How much do you reckon I will get? I Will get a Pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's after selling them. The Bose are only 3 Months old.

Check your source: Are you listening to high quality mp3s (320kbps) or lossless audio formats?

I am listening to FLAC format songs. Most of them are 44100hz

Try rockbox for Android. It really does make a difference and you'll have EQ options galore.

On a side note, as good a SGS2 can be when it comes to driving good headphones its not match for a dedicated audio player. Apart for iphones most of the other high end phones degrade pretty bad on headphones.

I tried Rockbox on my Galaxy S and it was buggy to the point of being unusable. PowerAMP has EQ and is a much better option.

I'm using the latest version right now and I think its miles away from anything available on the market especially when playing good quality flacs. 
 
The interface might not be top notch but as far as sound quality its well worth the niggles.

I tried RockBox. IT has a terrible UI and force closes occasionally. I'm sticking to neutron for now.

The Bose IE2 has a somewhat bloated and muddy bass. I think you're more or less stuck with it's sound signature until you get another earphone.
