Bose Freestyle Earbuds, Ice Blue - Wired

So far, these have been the best Bose headphones I've ever owned. The color is totally lame, but it was either red-white-blue or purple-green, the later of which looks even more lame. I want some cool colors Bose, make me a set in black with some red highlights, or mix some europium glow pigment into some transparent ABS and make me a set in titanium grey with glow in the dark earbuds. I think they'd also be cool with an OD green cord and maybe a dark earth color for the headphones, heck how about gunmetal and Super Bee yellow? Make your headphones look like they belong on a race track or in the rucksack of a Navy Seal, not like they're the talk of the skatepark. Skateparks are totally lame, it's hipster-ville. Apart from the lame colorations, tho, these things pretty much rock. For a while Bose was putting midget-sized cords on their active headphones, a problem I'm glad to see they corrected. I'm 6 foot 2 inches, and the cord is the perfect length for me. I like the placement of the volume adjustment knob and microphone. These also seem to have really superior audio quality compared to the older Bose active headphones. These arent noise cancelling, but they seem to block out ambient noise pretty well. I work in a machine shop and I have these in pretty much all day, every day, and they make the experience a lot more pleasant. I also run quite a lot, and I'm happy to say these are holding up really well to the sweat and jostling. Basically at the end of the day, they're a great set of headphones. Yes, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for. I just wish Bose didn't hire a 3 year old to do their color palette, because the colors they have available are pretty lame.

So far I am very pleased with my headphones. They're probably not the best fit for everyone, but they work REALLY well for me for the following reasons. First, obviously, they're earbuds, not over the ear headphones. I like being able to wear just one ear if I'm dialing into a video conference so I can hear myself talk and so I don't have to do that awkward thing where you move one of the headphones off your ear and it squishes your face. Second, they let some sound in; I'm one of those people who doesn't like sound totally blocked out (I want to be able to hear people if they start talking to me), and they do let in enough that I can get parts of a conversation or hear my name, but not such that it distracts from my music. I haven't encountered any issues with them leaking sound either, although I don't play music very loudly (at most 50%) Finally, they’re SO COMFORTABLE! I like ear buds for the reasons stated above, but in the past I've never been able to wear them for more than an hour before my ears start to ache, even with the squishy ones. I must have like awkward little ears or something. These are much more comfortable, especially if I take care to place them in gently with minimal pressing (just kind of lightly balancing it on the outer side of my ear). The other day I actually forgot which ears had buds in them so I had to tap the sides of my head like a weirdo. As far as aesthetics go I don't think they're very pretty to look at (I like the green and blue but the swirl pattern is goofy and loud), but the carrying case is nice. The one thing I can't really comment on is the durability, since I've only had them for a few weeks and I don't do anything strenuous (exercising, lots of traveling, etc) with them - I just wear them around the office. And I really hope they are durable, since they're a lot more expensive than the headphones I usually buy. If they are, though, I think I found my perfect pair of headphones.

These are the worst headphones I have ever purchased. The description and marketing pictures make it seem like these headphones are made for someone with an active lifestyle, but unless your idea of an "active" lifestyle is sitting in a quiet room these headphones are not for you. I wore them to the gym and could hear every noise in there over the sound of the music. I could literally hear the guy breathing on the bench next to me over the music coming from these headphones. I had the volume up to almost full blast too and could hear the music from the gym's speaker system clearer than I could hear my own. Maybe they have great quality sound but I wouldn't know because they obviously didn't factor in background noise when making this product. So if you plan on sitting in quiet room maybe these are great for you. But if you plan on doing anything remotely active then don't waste your money on these.

My husband has these and loves them so much he bought me a pair. I would never spend so much on headphones. They really work great and the design is cute. The quality of the sound is great- the voice is clear and the base is loud. There is a clip to clip onto your shirt or wherever and a long cord. It comes with 3 different sized earbuds. The earbuds did take a little time to figure out how to put in and get used to but worth it. The thing I love about the earbuds is that they fit nice, they are comfortable and they stay in. It also comes with a matching case which is cute. They are compatable with the iphone.

these are hands down the best earphones that I could have ever wanted. The quality is on another level. The clarity is perfect and I am a stipiler for decent audio/visual equipment. They look awesome and do let you express yourself. The remote works great. I ride a motorbike and I can control with ease through my gloves and hear and speak almost perfectly (no one can hear me when I'm at speak due to the wind not the headphones) The ear moulds are also very very comfortable and you no longer get that aching feeling when you have earphones/pods in after long periods of listening. Lastly. The base is brilliant These are worth every penny! And maybe slightly more

Just brilliant. I have been using bose in ear models since 2008 and they never disappoint. This earbud sounds just amazing. Very clear n crisp sound. Initially inspire of good experience with bose I saw some of the critical reviews for the product and hesitated. Now that I have purchased them I wonder why I hesitated based on somebody else's review. I should have trusted my own experience with bose ear buds and purchased them earlier. Highly recommended. Great product form bose and a great seller too.

Good quality sound. Comfortable. Very stylish, great design and in beautiful bright colours. A little pricey but worth the money.

Ho acquistato questi auricolari come "ultima spiaggia". In precedenza avevo provato di tutto: gli earpods di Apple, gli in-ear di varie marche ma, niente, nessuno di questi restava fermo nell'orecchio. Beh, che dire? Mi è andata alla grande. Questi auricolari della Bose, grazie al supporto aggiuntivo per il padiglione auricolare stanno fermi anche se si corre, ci si china o si fanno movimenti bruschi. Vengono forniti con supporti di tre taglie differenti: M, S ed L. Inoltre dispongono di microfono e comandi per controllare volume e riproduzione musicale, su iPhone funziona perfettamente anche l'integrazione con Siri. Da menzionare, poi, la comoda custodia che consente di portare gli auricolari sempre con sé e la pinzetta, attaccata al cavo, che permette di fissare quest'ultimo al proprio vestito. La qualità del suono, anche se non posso considerarmi un audiofilo, la ritengo eccellente. Se proprio devo trovare un pelo nell'uovo, le colorazioni disponibili: un po' troppo incasinate per i miei gusti. Ma alla fine chi se ne importa? :)

ich hatte vorher nur die scheiß apple in ears (3 mal sind sie kaputtgegangen die kack dinger) und im vergleich sind die bose kopfhörer natürlich um längen besser. aber sie sind wirklich ihr geld wert, ich wollte keine over ear kopfhörer und diese hier sind sehr angenehm zu tragen, selbst nach mehreren stunden tun sie nicht das kleinste bisschen weh und man muss sie nicht immer zurechtrücken, im gegensatz zu anderen. ich habe zwar keinen vergleich zu anderen bose-kopfhörern oder noch teureren in-ears aber sie sind schon besser als 40-euro sennheiser in-ears. ich trage sie immer beim mountainbiking und das funktioniert auch gut, sie fallen nicht raus und sie sind noch nicht kaputt nach 1,5 Jahren (rekord). der sound selbst ist voll und ich finde drums sowie tiefe gitarrentöne kommen besonders gut raus, man hört trotzdem noch ein paar außengeräusche aber von außen selbst kann man nichts hören bei normaler lautstärke. also wenn sie irgendwann mal schrott sind kauf ich sie auf jeden fall wieder
