Cons:
Jack is slightly large these are just about the most conforable in-hear headfones i have ever had.
I tried the shure headfones, but their weird overear design and silicone fittings just didnt work out too well.
With my Bose headfones they fit so well. One size is bigger than the other so i have a medium on one bud, and a small on another. I could leave these things in all day!
And with the headfones you get the Bose sound. Deep Bass and great trebel. Great all around range.
THESE ARE DEFINATLY WORTH 100 BUCKS!

Supremely comfortable, immersive sound |

Takes a bit of trust to get used to, design flaw with silicon tips, which they've remedied Spent the extra money to give these a try based on the Bose name. At first, they didn't seem to fit, but if you exercise a measure of trust, you'll see that they fit very well (given that you experiment with the sizes of silicon tips included). The way they sit in the ear, they seem like they might fall out. But that's only because I was all too used to the intrusive feeling of other earbuds. After some usage, you begin to appreciate the fact that you don't feel them there at all, but the sound is still so complete. But these tips are also the biggest flaw. Soon discovered that they were very prone to fall off when I took them off and wrapped them around my mp3 player when not in use (often do between uses or taking breaks). Was very lucky to find them on several occasions, but luck eventually ran out and I lost one for good - a big problem since either size besides the one you were using is sure to be uncomfortable or ineffective. Was elated to see that Bose is offering free replacements on their site, but the link isn't obvious and takes a little searching. At least they acknowledge the flaw and are doing something about it which prompted me to write this review. This problem aside, superb, rich sound and great fitting earbuds.

Pros:
Great quality, great bass, comfortable fit, good value |
|
|

| Cons:
Bass a little too good. These headphones, being priced at around $100, are much better or equal in quality to those priced 300 or 400. They are what you expect from Bose, and I am very satisfied.

| Cons:
loudness (this isnt a very big con however) These are very good headphones. the loudness of the headphones could be better, especially to people who like to listen to their music loudly, but thatis only a minor setback. a little pricey, but good value for the price. Excellent quality. Overall, a good product from a good company.

Earpieces, cord is awkward, Huge plug When Bose released the 41217 Headphones, I was ecstatic! I couldn't wait to try them...I'd previously purchased lots of different headsets that are now scattered around the house because they either fit terribly, sounded awful or both. Bose advertised not only a great fit but legendary Bose quality sound in an ear bud headset. Who could resist, right? Wrong! Don't believe all of the hype...True to their advertising, Bose does not disappoint in terms of sound quality. I just wish could have gotten the little earplugs to stay ON the headset so I could enjoy it a bit more. I am also inclined to believe that Bose has their product designers locked in a closet watching reruns from the '80's... the cord is the old awkward center-hung cord which looks like it was ripped from a Walkman. And the base of the plug is a 3/4 L x 3/8 W block of rubber which sticks out like a sore thumb. For those of you who do not agree: remember that great overall design is essential to making the technology behind a product more user friendly. In short, the little things make the difference. For 100.00 dollars, I expect & deserve to get my money's worth and a little satisfaction. I'm getting a refund.

| Cons:
Not really recommended for sporters She gave me this earphone as a birthday girft. I was so surprised because it is really expensive. It gives me the sound totally different with the earphone that comes with the itouch. The bass is very strong but clear. When I use it to listen to music, it seems that I am sitting in the living room to enjoy the home theater system. I really like it. Only one thing I don't like is its earbuds. It sometimes slash out of your ears when you are running or sporting.
