What's great about it: Comfort and fidelity
What's not so great: Been told by many users to be careful not to get these wet.
I have smallish ears and these MIE2I buds are so much more comfortable than the earbuds that came with my iphone (and actually hurt to use). I always expect the best in sound from Bose and these deliver nicely, but I would buy them for the comfort, alone. The iphone interface works beautifully and takes the place of your Bluetooth to access/make calls and control volume. Worth what they cost.
Arrived in 48 hours - Best Buy gets the stuff in your mailbox quickly, even when you live well off of the beaten path.

I went into the store looking to buy Beats, but I was told they would have to be ordered. I bought these while I waited for the Beats to come in, and I am glad I did. When the Beats came in I compared both sets of earbuds side by side, and the bass in the Bose was far superior.

What's great about it: sound quality, easy controls, convenient in-ear buds
What's not so great: nothing so far.
My older Bose headphones broke so I decided to go and buy beats by Dr.Dre ones the tour brand. The sound quality doesn't even come close to Bose., I exchanged them for these the next day. These headphones are perfect for working out, the new in-ear bud really stays put even when running. I absolutely love these headphones!!

These Bose headphones are the best headphones I've ever had. Crazy comfortable. I thought I knew what comfort and sound was?before until these. The soft stay hear tip feels like there is nothing there. They are great for outdoors since they aren't noise canceling. The mic control works just like any other. All controls feel clearly identifiable. These headphones are also very stylish with its black and white cord.

What's great about it: Volume/music control position
What's not so great: Sound quality
Here is my review of these headphones from just about every aspect:
Dislikes:
1) The sound quality was well below par, I thought Bose sound was supposed to be awesome =>NOT! No bass, ok mids and highs after changing my sound settings in the iPhone.They sounded a 100% better when I would push (not cram) them in my ear just a little. I tried every ear gel that came with this headset none worked for me.
2) Speaking of the ear gels, non of them would stay in my ear. The best ones were the hook type, but even those felt like they wanted to fall out and did fall out.
3) The case was too big and had no compartments to keep the ear gels in. Everything would fall out when you opened the case if you weren't careful.
4) Cord was too short.
5) Volume level was too low. I had to turn my iPhone up over 3/4 to get the same level as my SkullCandy 50/50.
Likes:
1)I did like the position of the volume/music control below your ear. I put the cord under my shirt. Some headsets have this control in the middle of your chest, hard to access.
3)I did like the right angle plug.
In conclusion I feel these should have been much better. With the price and the Bose name I thought for sure these would be a winner, I was wrong!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great sound
As avid music listeners know you can't usually go wrong with sound quality or clarity with Bose. I thought the in the upper part of the ear as a holding device would make those falling out of ear headphone days goodbye. But I was wrong. They hold better than those without the extra support but not as well as they claim to.

What's great about it: Ok Sound, Comfortable, iPod intergration.
What's not so great: Deff not sweat proof. Mic blows quick
Sound: A solid 4, somewhat under the expected quality for its price tag however.
Look and feel: cool hearing aids? comfortable though. Most comfortable ear buds I've come across
Iphone integration: 5,5,5,5,5. Works great with the iPod app and just makes life so much easier.
The Con: there is only one issue....... THE MIC!!!! Went out day one. Not for someone who plans on going to the gym and, you know sweat. Really like these but trading them in for something more, sweat proof. :/ Reasons why i buy the protection plan for situations like this. Thanks BB :)

What's great about it: comfort, nice carrying case
What's not so great: average sound quality, WAY too expensive
I've owned these earphones for about a couple of hours now, and I already know that I want to return them. I exchanged my SOL Amps HD for these since my Amps broke, and since the MIE2is cost even more than the Amps, I had very high expectations for them. However, when I tried them on, they didn't even come close in comparison. There is very little bass. I know the Amps are supposed to be known for their bass but even the clarity of the MIE2is wasn't much better. The only reason why I didn't give this 1 star was because of its amazing comfort. I could hardly tell they were on my ear. I know I didn't have a chance to wear them all day or even half the day, but I can't wear these earphones without feeling disappointed and ripped off. Skip these and invest your money in better earphones. I'm getting my Amps HD back from a Best Buy that has them in stock.

What's not so great: None
The most comfortable headset i have ever purchased. The sound quality is more than decent. If I will rate the comfort level from 1-10 (10 highest) I will say 9. I can wear this headset all day and sometimes I even forget that I have them on. This is the 3nd pair I bought and gave two as a present and they loved it.

What's great about it: Fit & Sound
I've tried klipse, etmonic, shure, and most of the available cheapies, these feel and sound the best. The comfortable earpiece really filled your ear and makes for a great workout earbud. Props also go to Bose for great sound from an earbud. The phone mic works great with my iPhone too.

What's great about it: Sound Quality, Comfortable headset
What's not so great: Microphone goes bad, they can not stand sweat or steam!
I love them for sitting in the office and taking business calls. Music sounds great...and the headset is very comfortable!!
Terrible for working out. Music of course is great...BUT the microphone goes bad. Sweat or use in sauna will kill the microphone!
I am on my 3rd pair...all fail after working out in them. Kills me not to use them when working out...but tired of swapping them out every couple of weeks. Since I have stopped getting them sweaty they work great. I am very happy I purchased the warranty program.

What's not so great: nothing
I bought these headphone to use while i workout. When using traditional in ear bud headphones during workouts, i would have to keep pushing the buds further and further into my ear. I bought the bose mie2 bec they grip the outer part of ur ear as apposed to a but that u have to squeeze into the center. for the first few days that i used the headphones it felt very awkward. thankfully after a little time i would forget that they are even in my ears.
the sound quality is very good
if u need a good sounding non bud but also in ear pair of headphones the bose mie2 is well worth the price

What's great about it: Comfort and fit, great sound
What's not so great: Little too pricey
I have had trouble finding a pair of earbuds that can stay in my ears, whether it be working out or just sitting on the train. These were the answer for me, plus they sound terrific (great bass). I would highly recommend these, although they are a bit on the pricey side.

Best in-ear headphones I've owned

What's great about it: Sound quality; comfort
What's not so great: color and style
I've owned a few different in-hear headphones from Sony, Apple and Griffin. The Bose mie2i outclasses them all.
First, the fit with the Bose is amazing. The design really does stay in your ear; it's easy to forget they are there. I also like that they don't go deep into your ear, which can get uncomfortable after a while. And because you can hear yourself talk, you can actually use the built-in microphone to take phone calls.
Speaking of phone calls, everyone I've talked to said they I am clear and easy to understand when using these headphones.
Sound quality is great. I found that I was searching out some of my favorite music just to hear how it would sound with these headphones. Often I heard things in the music that I did not know was even there!
These headphones are expensive, but they cost less than the money I wasted on all the other headphones I've bought over the years. Highly recommended!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound quality, open-ear design
What's not so great: Low sound isolation, poor compatibility (iPhone only)
From all the in-ear headsets I have already used, this one has the best audio quality. It takes some time to get used to the open ear design and not having sound isolation, but I don't see this as a downside. These phones are great.
