BOSE IE2 earphones
« on: 31 May 2013, 21:53 »
Decided to step away from Sennheiser and try a new set. Never been dissapointed with Sennheiser on audio quality but build quality not the best and thought I'd give Bose ago.

Well worth the money now they've worn in, comfortable after you've worn them a few times, barely notice them now. Make iPod stock headphones sound like they cost 50 pence. Really recommend em! Strong bass and high's and mids come naturally.  :cool:

i heard (pardon the pun) they were good. I had a pair of shure e2c earphones back in the day and they were fantastic but the way I treated them they were ruined within 18months. Shure were really good and replaced them for free but I wouldn't buy expensive earphones again.

I bought these recently:

They seem to be a nice balance between cheapness and build quality. 2 year guarantee to boot.

I recently decided to upgrade my earphones and went for a pair of these.

RHA MA450i Noise Isolating In Ear Earphones with Remote and Microphone
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008ET9VY0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wanted earphones that both sounded great, but also had an inline remote, I hate taking my phone out all of the time to change tracks and volume etc.

First impressions are good.  They're yet to be bedded in properly, but the levels seem great.  There's so much more clarity than any other earphones I've used.  I notice extra layers on tracks I never spotted before, they also show up lower bit-rate mp3's, so I need to re-obtain everything in 320kbps  :grin:

Bargain for £40 though.
