The IE2's were fantastic for me. No earbud would stay in my ear, I guess because of how my ear is shaped. I needed headphones, particularly in-ear ones that would stay in and be comfortable. I have been a Bose fan for quite some time; I bought and still have and love the QC15's and the "bookshelf" 301 speakers for a large room with wooden floors and both are beyond worth the rather expensive investment. So I decided, you know what, I have these other products for years and love them so why not get these new SoundSport ones?
I bought these because unfortunately, my IE2's stopped working in one ear. It was a connection issue I would gather, as observed by the frayed protective coating on the cable at the jack. The jack was a 90 degree one so that may have caused the issue as I always used them in my pocket with my phone and it tended to pull in a bad direction during my workout. In any case, I had them for 4 or so years and they were fantastic: stayed in my ear 100% of the time, blocked out 80% of the gym noise (depending on type of music and volume (usually around 75-80% volume)), and kept me in my zone efficiently. But, they broke.
So I bought these SoundSport ones in charcoal, at a decent price I'd say compared to when I bought the IE2's for $100 or so. I have had them now for two weeks and I love them. Yes it has only been two weeks and only time can tell for durability and effectiveness, but I am comparing these with the IE2's.
They sound the same, although the "surround" sound openings in the outer edge of the earbud, if that's what one can call them, have three rather than the IE2's 2 openings. I don't think this really makes a difference but I did seem to notice better background vocals or instruments on some tracks. Other than that, they perform exactly the same as the IE2's. Not much more, aside from what I just said above, and certainly nothing less.
That being said, they are not the QC15's or the newer QC25's and they are not the $300 headphones that you can also get in this type of in-ear fit. GIVEN that they are less than $100 and from Bose nonetheless, these are fantastic in the sound department. Looking at the other reviews, I'd say the bass is fine. No it is not really punchy or full but it is there and in enough of a presence to be better than most other in-ear headphones that are designed to sit outside of the ear. They do offer better ear tips that isolate sound more and provide better quality because they sit more in the ear, so you can give those a try. Personally, I don't feel I need them; the bass is good, mids and highs are medium to good and that's all I really need in $90 headphones FOR THE GYM. Now, if I was at work, I would not be using these in the first place.
In terms of feel, they feel exactly the same as the IE2's. They fit great and stay in the ear as long as you need them too. Running, lifting, aerobics, and more all are great with these, provided you utilize the clip included which can really help avoid that pulling or tugging sensation that may occur when you bounce up and down for certain exercises.
Overall, these are fantastic for me. In summary: they block out 75-80% of noise depending on what music and how loud you are willing to put your volume; they fit great and stay in perfectly and as anticipated; they look great, better, than the IE2's, with a more modern design; finally, they perform as they should for the price and the Bose name.
If you want better, fuller sound, buy the $300 in-ear ones. But really...do you want to bring those to the gym? In other words, for a good hard workout where you need zoned focus, just you, the workout and the music, these are fantastic and they are, relatively speaking, not expensive.
Good luck.
1. First thing I noticed in terms of quality is that I think if one takes care of them (ehem, alcohol wipes, anyone?), they should do pretty well with humidity resistance. I think the salts eat away at the wire as happened to my IE2 pair, but this wire feels a bit tougher and not as soft (a good thing!).
2. The second thing in terms of build quality is that they are definitely lighter compared to my IE2s, and their fit is snug yet not as tight on the ears (I believe the shape was changed a little).
3. The third thing that I noticed when I put them on is that is that they are more defined in their highs and lows. It's rather weird. I was used to that warmness that Bose brought, and now it's as though a wind has come to cool things off. I kind of miss the warmness, yet I like the newness. They still sound wonderful, and still sound better than any other earphone I've tried out there. I'm a bit surprised, however, at the change in balance between lows, mids, and highs that Bose has made. It seems to be more inclusive of highs now than before while trying to keep the mids and (especially) the lows included as much as possible (whereas in the previous IE models there was more inclusiveness of lows and mids over highs).
Anyway, to anyone thinking about buying this: YES. YES. YES. Don't settle for ANYTHING else!!

Arrivo fino alle Grado sr325i Sennheiser HD600 B&o H6 Beyer dt990 250ohm...poi anche diverse on ear tra cui anche le Bose soundtrue. Queste mi piacciono molto e credo siano state sviluppate e progettate per lavorare bene con iPhone etc.
Poi ho molte in-ear e anche earbuds di qualità (fino a 300ohm) che poi è la categoria delle Bose in-ear in oggetto.
Queste non sono delle vere in-ear in quanto non sigillano completamente il canale auditivo e lasciano quindi passare un po' dei rumori esterni. UN BENE per delle cuffiie per uso specifico running...le macchine le devi sentire e se corri nella natura...beh non senti niente!
Poi il suono: suonano divinamente bene soprattutto nello spettro dei bassi. I bassi non sono eccessivi, ma moolto presenti e soprattutto ben riprodotti. Sono dei bei bassi secchi precisi ma non troppo asciutti e danno il giusto senso della scena al brano. Le opinioni discordanti a mio parere possono essere attribuibili alla errata scelta dei gommini, che se troppo piccoli o troppo grandi, non coprono bene il padiglione e fanno passare le frequenze...principalmente basse. Il vantaggio delle in-ear vere sta proprio qui. Tappano il canale uditivo e diventa una cassa di risonanza per i bassi.....ma se corri è una tortura! Ad ogni falcata hai il fastidiosissimo effetto ventosa/pompa che le rende inascoltabili.
Finora delle earbuds in mio possesso le Bose sono indubbiamente le migliori, soprattutto per correre, perchè hanno un suono chiaro cristallino, ma molto energico che ben si sposa con il fitness.
Con i devices Apple il paventato basso volume non esiste ...anzi. Gli altri telefoni hanno talvolta il modulo ampli sottotono.(già verificato dal S3 in giù..i nuovi Samsung sono ok)
Per fare un paragone visto che uso cuffie per correre stilo una classifica personale (i gusti sono personali..)
1. Bose (sicuramente le migliori)
2. sennheiser PMX685i
3. Venture Electric Monk (6€)
4. Sony STH30
5. Yuin PK2

Per completare la recensione ho visto molti lamentarsi della scarsa qualità dei cavi che alla lunga si deteriorano lasciando in vista i fili di rame..non le ho da abbastanza da poterlo confermare, ma l'impressione è che siano rivestiti di una gomma molto morbida e flessibile e il mio dubbio è che molti possano essere incappati in fakes ...sono le cuffie più contraffatte. Questo mi spiagherebbe anche le sporadiche recensioni negative sulla qualità audio che Vi assicuro non delude. Mi piacciono anche perchè suonano molto bene già direttamente attaccate al telefono, poi con un ampli dedicati migliorano, mo non poi tanto...
Per finire un grazie ad Amazon che mi permesso di acquistarle ad un costo molto basso ...ho approfittato de un offerta a 55€.
Valgono anche il prezzo pieno se vi piace correre.
Aggiungo una foto per testimoniare la mia ...malattia :-)

La calidad del sonido es excelente, las voces se escuchan increiblemente naturales, los instrumentos resaltan y los graves son potentes, a pesar de ser pequeños estos audifonos suenan como si tuvieran un subwoofer, la profundidad de los graves hace sentir que estas en un lugar bien sonorizado lejos de sentir que traes audifonos. La comodidad es un punto importante ofrece 3 pares de adaptadores que se ajustan al tamaño de tus orejas y funcionan de maravilla, si te sientes incomodo es porque estas usando un tamaño que no ajusta a tus orejas. Un detalle que no me gusta es el cable, el plug 3.5mm sale en recto (no tiene giro a 90 grados ni nada) por lo que cuando esta en tu bolsillo tiende a doblarse demasiado. El cable en si es muy resistente y es de un material que no se rompe facilmente, aun asi siento que esta en peligro al ponerlo en mi bolsillo cuando camino o estoy sentado.
Great sound quality and fit in my teeny tiny ears
