From the ear of Bose no longer falls. It comes with removable silicone pads in three sizes. As should be something for everyone. The sounders do not sit well, but so good that you could jog it. The silicone pads dampen outside noise quite well. The plug is gold plated. This is not only practical, it looks with the glossy black casing also very sophisticated and high quality. The processing of the Bose headset is also flawless.
The Bose phones bring a clearly different sound into play: the most striking is the bass. While he is only very weakly with the original Apple headphones, he is strong and present at Bose. This gives the sound a much greater abundance. The volume is much higher, so you have to settle down. As regards the detail of the sound, I can not tell the difference. What previously sounded muffled, still sounds muffled. Where I previously heard the stroke of the bow on the violin, I still hear him. And if The Edge get you going, the guitar, the sounds also class, but more sounds, hitherto swallowed notes or new chords so far I could not perceive.
On my stereo (Yamaha Piano Craft) I have, however difficulties with the Bose listeners: the bass is too strong and the highs are completely muffled. I have to take away the bass amplifier on and turn up the treble quite full, so that the sound is good. He is very good though.
Perhaps the sonic interim résumé that this in Ear Kofhörer sounds different than the original Apple handset. Whether you want to call it better is a matter of taste. Who does not like bass, the money can save without hesitation. Who sounding its handset Apple way too flat, which should attract the Bose into consideration. The fact that the issue is really worth, I do not want to say with full conviction.
Before I bought, I have consulted a test of the magazine Audio and interviewed several sellers of high-end audio stuff. Everywhere, it was agreed that the Bose headphones in a league playing with Bang and Olufsen, is undoubtedly one of the best that you can buy in this class. The few opportunities that you get for comparison (B & O had trial heard me, as Shure (E2C) and Bose), confirmed the. (Alone listen an opportunity sample that is worth at B & O, Shure and Bose to select and forget the rest. The subtle differences between high-end phones and the sediment and the fact that you use those things with inferior mp3s in bus, subway or while jogging, 40 Euro are themselves too much to make them blind to invest.)
Nevertheless Test (no Pre-listening available) came in the audio also found that the Sennheiser CX-300 is excellent. Unfortunately, the Sennheiser is so successful that the original price of 38 Euro has risen to 70 euros in most stores.
So, if you are traveling, then I think we can have his music cheaper than Bose. It is certainly the biggest advantage that the shield outside noise in ear earphone for the silicone pad. Whether one despite the shielding in noisy bus or jogging even hear the improvements of the sound, I doubt very much. At home, however you can hear it clearly, of course.
For audiophiles who would lay down your assets for every ounce of improvement, this handset is certainly worth the money. But who expects a sonic revelation will certainly not be satisfied. The sonic improvements to the original Apple earbuds (the moves in audio dregs of earphones) are not so overwhelming that it would not do a bit cheaper handset. With my current knowledge, after an extensive comparison of the Apple handset with the Bose headphones, I would rather believe the Audio Test and CX-300 are looking to Sennheiser for 38 Euro. The sound might be a bit worse than the Bose, but we really are talking about nuances, for which one must lie down 60 euros more.

After 5 weeks, I have heard a good part of my CD collection with the Triport earphones. This is the moment for a second thought.
All of the above has proved to be permanently right. But I can say it more precisely:
Fit in the ear:
Bose is loose in the ear. It will not shake the feeling that he could fall out. That's never happened to me (still not jogging), but feel irritated. If you ignore it, you might say, the earphone sits so perfectly that you almost do not feel it.
Ambient noise:
it is not particularly high. The seemingly loose seat can be massive sound from all around his ear.
Meanwhile, I also understood why the Bose developers have left the seat rather loose. Attenuates In Ear Headphones outside noise completely off, suddenly is something heard, what else we do not consciously perceive: structure-borne sound! Suddenly the otherwise inaudible friction of the headphone cable to the clothes to noisy volume is raised, breathe, eat, everything is real crash. Even steps (jogging)! I've compared myself. Ultimate Ears Super.fi per and Sennheiser CX-300 dampen external noise almost perfectly. More beautiful than the light outside noise that one hears at Bose, that's not necessarily.
Sound:
the strengths of Bose are clearly in the bass and in the mids. So rock, pop and something comes out clean and fed up over. Likewise, my old opera recordings sound very good. Mostly from the 50s to the 70s and nachdigitalisiert consuming. Since the heights already missing from the recording, and it sounds like the Bose very well. Especially Verdi, with choirs, basses and many deep voices.
New DDD recordings, however, are a horror. Here the Bose is clearly at the end. Taken my sound technology not so good shots he can spice up a bit with the bass. But for a good, modern classical music recording you need a different handset.
One can express it positve: the Bose is so good that one can distinguish good from bad shots. But sound technology very good shots, he does not bring over anyway.
