Bose earphones are the best earphones and that is why they are rather expensive. All Bose items including their noise cancelling headphones and speaker systems are state of the art and are expensive. They keep them expensive and never put them on sale so that the brand is never compromised.
If you have an iPod and use the earphones that come with it, you know that they will start hurting in a half hour or so. You need better earphones if that is the case! The same thing can be said if you have a Microsoft Zune MP3 Player. You need the best earphones and the best is Bose!
Not only will the Bose earphones be more comfortable but they will also give you better sound as well. Once you try the Bose eaphones, you will realize that the Apple earphones that came with your iPod or Ipd Touch are pathetic.
As I said, the Bose earphones never seem to go on sale but you can get a pair of the latest Bose® IE2 model for just around $100 on Amazon.
***Important to note is that the reviews of these earphones are incredibly positive with more than 500 reviews coming in at an average of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. If you want the best earphones on the market you have to get Bose and the reviews are saying that the IE2 model is worth the price.
