Bose Freestyle Earbuds, Indigo - Wired

So far, these have been the best Bose headphones I've ever owned. The color is totally lame, but it was either red-white-blue or purple-green, the later of which looks even more lame. I want some cool colors Bose, make me a set in black with some red highlights, or mix some europium glow pigment into some transparent ABS and make me a set in titanium grey with glow in the dark earbuds. I think they'd also be cool with an OD green cord and maybe a dark earth color for the headphones, heck how about gunmetal and Super Bee yellow? Make your headphones look like they belong on a race track or in the rucksack of a Navy Seal, not like they're the talk of the skatepark. Skateparks are totally lame, it's hipster-ville.Apart from the lame colorations, tho, these things pretty much rock. For a while Bose was putting midget-sized cords on their active headphones, a problem I'm glad to see they corrected. I'm 6 foot 2 inches, and the cord is the perfect length for me. I like the placement of the volume adjustment knob and microphone. These also seem to have really superior audio quality compared to the older Bose active headphones. These arent noise cancelling, but they seem to block out ambient noise pretty well. I work in a machine shop and I have these in pretty much all day, every day, and they make the experience a lot more pleasant. I also run quite a lot, and I'm happy to say these are holding up really well to the sweat and jostling.Basically at the end of the day, they're a great set of headphones. Yes, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for. I just wish Bose didn't hire a 3 year old to do their color palette, because the colors they have available are pretty lame.

These are the worst headphones I have ever purchased. The description and marketing pictures make it seem like these headphones are made for someone with an active lifestyle, but unless your idea of an "active" lifestyle is sitting in a quiet room these headphones are not for you.I wore them to the gym and could hear every noise in there over the sound of the music. I could literally hear the guy breathing on the bench next to me over the music coming from these headphones. I had the volume up to almost full blast too and could hear the music from the gym's speaker system clearer than I could hear my own.Maybe they have great quality sound but I wouldn't know because they obviously didn't factor in background noise when making this product. So if you plan on sitting in quiet room maybe these are great for you. But if you plan on doing anything remotely active then don't waste your money on these.

I'm a heavy heaphone user, meaning I wear my headphones every day for multiple hours and I can't even begin the list of headphones I've bought in the past decade. So far these have been the best pair I've ever had! I purchased these after my JVC over-the-ears crapped out in April. I've never been one for in-ears because even the best brands popped out or hurt (SkullCandy, Apple, JVC, etc) then a friend let me try these on I instantly noticed the difference, so comfortable accodring to him "you can fall asleep in them" (and I have since) and felt really secure. After discounting I got these for $88 but I think they are worth the extra markup, though I wish they included more replacement earbuds, more on that later.Pros:-Sound- I've often found in-ear buds to sound grainy and less rich, I notice none of this with these, but it's Bose sound hard to really question it (sorry I'm not more of a scientific audiophile)-Comfort- have fallen asleep in these, great for long plane rides, long term use. Have excercised in, barely any issues with falling out-Remote control and mic add to functionality, have used successfully for phone calls-Color scheme- went with the iced blue, love it and the touch of red makes it easier to find-Carry case is a nice addition for travel, wish it was larger enough for my iPhone but it is decent size for a smaller mp3 playerCons:-Silicone earbuds may fall off- I've only had one incident so far where I went to reach for my headphones and one of the silicone earbuds had fallen off at some point and of course I couldn't find it, they're really impossible to use without them. Had to trim down a larger size one to fit temporarily before finding a store. Just be careful, use the carrying case, and should you lose one go to a Bose store or a Bose reseller a lot of the ones here on Amazon did not see legit...-Earbuds are "sweat proof" they're sweat proof enough that that the water doesn't get through the silicone to destroy the sound or get it wet but don't be surprised if the earbuds get a lil slimy...just wipe them doen with some iso later

My husband has these and loves them so much he bought me a pair. I would never spend so much on headphones. They really work great and the design is cute. The quality of the sound is great- the voice is clear and the base is loud. There is a clip to clip onto your shirt or wherever and a long cord. It comes with 3 different sized earbuds. The earbuds did take a little time to figure out how to put in and get used to but worth it. The thing I love about the earbuds is that they fit nice, they are comfortable and they stay in. It also comes with a matching case which is cute. They are compatable with the iphone.
