I've always loved Bose's In-Ear Headphones. I've had IE2 model before and I loved it until one of the wires just decided to detach itself from the rest. The reason why I love these are because I can't really tell if they are in my ear or not while listening to music. It's that comfortable. I've had other sets of earphones and some of them hurt my ear after listening to music for 1-2 hours. I never experienced that problem with this. I've purchased the SoundSport model so I hope this one last longer than my previous one. These are quite pricey compared to other earphones you can get. I was happy to pay this premium price for the product because I was happy with the comfort, sound quality and overall built quality.
There are things I don't like about. Bose decided to offer these for iPhones and Android phones separately meaning that there is a model specifically for iPhone only and Android as well. So if you decide to get one of these, make sure you get the model designed for your device or else the volume control won't work with your phone. I've had a LG G3 when I purchased these and now I got an iPhone so the volume control button doesn't work for me :( I personally don't like this idea of separating models for each phone because if you switch phones then you are kind of stuck with the one you have unless you are in that return/exchange period. Make sure you keep this in mind when purchasing these.
The wires tangle often in my pocket but I think it gets untangled pretty easily though.
As expected from Bose products, these don't have that much bass. It does offer very clear sound but I can tell that other earphones have way more bass than these. Furthermore, I've noticed that these aren't very loud when I was listening to music using my G3 but I think the problem went away when I switched to iPhone. Keep in mind that, you can use the one for Samsung phones with iPhones but the volume control will NOT work. I can't guarantee that the Samsung model will work with every iPhone out there so don't risk it.
