Bose ® SIE2i ® Sports Headphones - Blue (Electronics)

Customer Review

So far, I have trained well with the Apple In-Ear Headset. That broke. So replacement was needed.
The many reviews of the Bose system have curious, but also made me aback for a:
So are some exceedingly thrilled Others find weaknesses that one would expect at 9 headphones - but not for a 129 Headset.

Intro:
To one to send first: music is for many people not the same music: I have even met people who have called the sound "cruel" the MP3's, whose bit rate is less than 192 and were of the opinion that they could the differences to better coded files hear ...
When I do sports, I listen to music to distract me, and not to enjoy a überallemaßenunvergleichliches sound experience.

What do you do best in this case? Starting in the next BOSE store and seek advice just once and tried the thing.
There thus now a further review:

Design and seat:
First, the SIE2 is a bit unusual, because the in-ear earphone hardly touching the ear, but can be stretched by the rubber socket on the ear. Here they sit, however, so strong that you do not get the idea that listeners could fall out of the ear. Here also the unpleasant pressures which occurs in in-ear headphones ever omitted. The tips prevent that water gets into the ear.

Sound:
Sonically - compared to the iPhone 4S Headset - are the SIE2 a quantum leap forward. The sound is full, clear and the bass is actually existent (at rock and house music). If there can be a level increase in headphones of this size, it is achieved in any case.

Shielding:
Many times I have read that the sound is not loud enough would hide to ambient noise: That's right it is that the headphones do not shield. So with soft music you can still entertain. If I turn the sound on full, I would not even listen to a passing freight train.

Scope of supply:
The SIE2 comes with a relatively short cable, the length of which is designed for the use of the sleeve pocket also included in the package. An extension is, however, to carry the player in your pocket, on your belt or elsewhere. The tips are also available in 3 different sizes. The Reebok Armtasche offers a very good splash protection (after a downpour was the phone still dry) and is available in different sizes.

Compatibility:
The SIE2i has an iPhone remote control and hands-free. The control (answer, microphone) work on a Samsung Galaxy S4 also, for the volume control are Android phones not suitable.

Conclusion:
129 are a lot of money. But for that you get a stylish headset that (for people with standard ear) offers an excellent seat and developed a purpose the appropriate sound. The lack of isolation afforded falls a non-hearing-impaired not to.
The accessories are valuable and even if I'm far endurance sports without sleeve pocket, I believe that I can even get used to it. The remote control works (conditionally) to other devices also.

And the best for last:
BOSE gives the buyer a 3-year-Instant-replacement warranty: broken? Starting in the store and there is a new set.
That's fair - because the sport can the device so a lot happen - there's water under certain circumstances the lesser evil.
