the new BOSE IE2 audio headphones

I don't know how long it's been since I lost my last pair of earphones. Some months before I managed to misplace those sony earbuds, the wiring in the right or left ear was already shorted out. It was only a matter time until they would be replaced but how I've managed to go without a proper pair is beyond me.

Until this particular long overdue purchase, I'd been relying on my iPod earphones. 

Saying they suck would be an understatement.

The standard iPod earphones are a bane to my music listening experience. Unless I actually press the earbuds so far into my ears that they can almost bang on my eardrums, there really is no way I can enjoy HEARING music. The range of music I listen to requires IMMERSION: a lot of bass, sound isolation,  clarity. It's almost a must to get lost.  and the iPod earphones barely even try to deliver.

Enter, BOSE. Never the brand to disappoint in the audio quality department, they've managed to answer the cries of people who aren't willing to parade around with Bose's best-selling over-ear headphones. 

They take some time growing accustomed to, just as most in-ear headphones do, but just several hours after my purchase and now $100+ short (2-year warranty from Best Buy included) I can earnestly and confidently say they are up to my standards.

I don't expect anything less from a Bose product. 2 years after spending one of my first paychecks on a Bose Portable Sounddock, I still believe in the company and wouldn't even dare sell or give away my speakers.

Bose, Harman Kardon, Sennheiser offer top audio quality. I'm sure of it.
