Bose has a strict policy, these cannot cost under 100$. And u could call to Bose technical support and tell them a serial number, they could analyze if it is fake or not. :neutral: Another fact is, they cost <100$.

It is because they are fake. You bought a fake ones. I realized it when I saw them in the box on the last photo. If you can see the little black brick (goes the connector from it), it seems to be bigger than on the real ones. And some user on youtube says, that he bought some pairs on best buy too, and they were fake too. If you want any more details, search on youtube. :wink: Do you know why these headphones sound horrible ? It is because they are fake. You bought a fake ones.

I own 3 pairs of SHURE in-ear phones, the E2, the eC3, and the SE-310. And they are WAY I mean W A Y ! better than this Bose ones. I tried them at an authorized Bose dealer in Orange County CA and I was totally disappointed, they DON'T even isolate the sound from outside, and it feels like they are going to fall out of your ear at any time. And for those who talk about listening to a compressed mp3, well: I rather to listen to a Professionally encoded 128 kps mp3 song on my Zune using my SE-310 Shure in-ear phones, than listening to a CD being played on a high quality CD player with CRAPPY! ear-buds like the ones that come with an iPod.

While not, stictly speaking, an "audiophile," I am a DJ who has gone through several diffferent earbud and headphone models. While I loved my Sure e3c's, I had some major issues with fit and comfort. I keep coming back to these because they have the most natural fit and sound for my tastes. I used the medium tips for a while until I realized how much better the large ones felt.

Just because I thought I was crazy or something, I had to go fishing for reviews. Not only did I get the original in ears Bose made, I returned them and got the 'improved' version with better silicone cups and better design on the cable, and let me tell you: For a Bose product, not only am I NOT impressed I was really disappointed. ESP for the money they are asking. They definitely banked on their successful name to get this one off the ground. And yes, I read everything about the settings and how to tweak for an iPod. Bottom line the sound was *ok* but not worth the initial price of $100 and def not worthy to be called bose, the fit was TERRIBLE and still is and even after the imporved design, the cables still fray in the jacket. Stay away from these. Hey all. Just because I thought I was crazy or something, I had to go fishing for reviews.

However, they do not stay in my ears no matter whose instructions I follow. Small, medium or large ... they all pop out of my ears ... especially during workouts ... and that's very inconvenient. I'm going out today to try and exchange them for something else. Wish me luck. I purchased these ear buds for my new IPod and was excited about using them.

Now that's a great example of a run on sentence! I have spoken to professional audio engineers and all of them agree that the Bose earbuds fall short of the Sure and Audio Technicas. For the money, they all recommend the Sure (several models in the same price range), the Audio Technica and the Etymotics. So now I'm still confused, but am still looking. I do, by the way, love the other Bose products that I own. Wow! Now that’s a great example of a run on sentence!
