Bose SIE2 Pro Reviews

I review a lot of Bose products and while I tend to like most of them and really appreciate their ergonomics (when it comes to headphones, at least), I don't think I've ever called any of them a bargain. Bose's standard IE2 and MIE2i models retail for $99.95 and $129.95, respectively. As noted, these new, more rugged models cost more. The SIE2 costs $119.95, while the SIE2i costs $149.95. Simply put, these shouldn't be that expensive (they should cost the same as the standard IE2 line, which should get a price reduction). Now that we have that caveat out of the way, I can say that Bose has done a good job building an appealing sports earphone that's very comfortable to wear and fits securely in your ear. Many people don't like having eartips jammed into their ears, and these Bose are among the best of the looser-fitting, non-noise-isolating 'buds. They offer decent sound, with pleasant, plump bass, and they seem pretty durable (it's worth noting that while Bose products may be pricey, the company's usually very good about replacing headphones should something go wrong with them).
