The first pair was the last generation and did not have the stay flanges that this pair has, but other than that, they are the same. I read most of the review before I bought my first pair, and again before I bought this replacement pair. I don't understand the complaints I see on here, the number one complaint is about bass, I can say that as a person that predominantly listens to r&b, blues and jazz, this pair is outstanding. Now do you get as much bass as a Beatz audio, no you don't, and if bass is all you are looking for, than you should not be looking at Bose. Now for the rest of us that like to listen to the music and not simply feel our eardrums bleed, this pair is just for you.The Pros:Comfort - Originally bought these in Afghanistan, and I must say that I would spend hours with these in my ears and I would never get the pain that comes from wearing in-ear headphones. These are the only headphones I have ever been able to sleep with comfortably and not wake up with a terrible ear ache. Working on an airfield, if I wanted to get some rest I needed to drown out the noise, which these did a good job of.Sound - This is a pro and a con, so I will address the good here. The range of musical notes you can hear with these headphones is ridiculous, now the ear pieces are not 'in ear" per say, they do not go in your ear canal, they cover the ear hole, so with that being said, I wear a medium with most in ear headphone, but have to wear the small ear piece to get a good "seal".Quality - You can immediately tell these are good, solid quality, I am not sure what some of the other reviewers were talking about when they said theirs frayed after wear, I used mine traveling in UH-60s, CH-47s and C130s in full military gear for 12 months, in and out of vehicles with them hanging to my side and not once did they fray or get damaged, I did manage to lose a few of the end pieces, but I ordered extras from Bose for 8 dollars.Cons -Sound - The volume is not ear shattering, I will say that at the loudest you will only be about 80% of what other headphones give you, with that said if you are looking to blow out your eardrums these are not for you. Also with the sound all the way up, there is no distortion in sound, which I think might be a reason why the volume doesn't go up as high as other headphones.Cord - The cord on this second pair is much shorter than my last one, Im not sure if it is just cost saving measures or what, but at 6 feet tall I can still my iPhone in my pocket and the cord barely reaches my ears, so if you are taller you might need an arm band holder.Hope this helps. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Redefine Your Audio Universe *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2011* If you are looking to buy this item, be prepared to redefine the way you hear, well, everything.Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well first, allow me to tell you a story and some things I have personally observed as being an avid audio listener.My previous headphones were a pair of $30 Sony earbuds. They were good and I received a full equalized sound. I did not complain, and I enjoyed these headphones thoroughly until one day I forgot I left them in my cargo pant's pocket and ran them through the washing machine :( Days later I decided: "You know what? Since I love listening to music, I am going to splurge and spoil myself!" I looked at Shure ($100 is my limit thus ultimately way out of my budget) and Klipsch (looked very reasonable!). I came across Bose and was impressed by its reviews, and not simply because many family members of mine swear by it :PMy first impressions: It was well sealed and came with a nice but flimsy leather case, along with a wonderful variety of silicone ear pieces so that you get a good fit. You receive small, medium, and large pairs of StayHear buds and regular buds. Due to the earphones shape, I did not feel confident with using the regular buds. Instead, I chose the StayHear buds and they fit quite well. Putting them in is awkward but will not come out easily, which is great during exercise. The black/white twist cord makes it easy to spot (and looks cool), but a few inches short from comfortable. Volume is good enough and you'll adapt fine; any higher and you're deafening yourself. These earbuds do not have a full seal in your ear and will reduce but not block all outside sounds. I get some outside noise with these in the gym or on a public transit bus, but that's a fraction of my day and I frankly don't care. Now if you are in a machine shop, go get the Quiet Comforts.Now we get to the listening part, and good lord almighty, what a difference! The Bose IE2 earbuds fed my ears with crisp, near flawless details of everything I instructed my player to execute. Every song I listened to was exactly like being there in the studio. When I used to listen to rock or indie, guitarists were just guitarists. Now I put these on and can hear the individual strumming of each guitarist and even the base player. Vocals are literally right in your face with amazing clarity. What about electronic? I was able to hear each complex audio overlay with such precision that each sound seemed improved from what I was used to. Rap? Impressive beyond belief.Here is a quick list some songs I listened to and their details I had never heard before (320+kbps MP3 / FLAC)Pink Floyd - Time: I can hear the woman's "oooh-ahhh" sound oscillation, perfectly.Sting - Moon Over Bourbon Street: The drummer's cymbals are crisp and whole.Drake - Little Bit: The distance echo is cleanly felt throughout my head.Deadmau5 - I Remember (Original): Bass and its compliments fulfill this song.Ave Maria - Charles-Fancois Gounod: Wow, simply wow..My music had changed, but did it really? I bet most people will put these on, listen to their music, say, "No. No, that sounds like nothing of what I am used to!" and then deem the headphones as flawed. The truth is, it's the other way around. The problem is that you are not adapted to this kind of change.Bose is giving you more that what you bargained for and you must retrain your ears to accommodate the reality of the music it was intentionally recorded and balanced in the studio by the artists. I was so used to friends' car audio systems with bass, home theaters, and "just your regular audio" speakers, I ignored the details. With these headphones, I am overwhelmed and re-listening every song I have. There is not a song I do not like now, and for those I did like very much, and I am now saying to myself, "Really? That's what it sounds like? That's Awesome!" I was not prepared, nor will you. Buy it and break your ears into the unadulterated reality of sound.P.S. - If you have mp3's, strive for over 250kbps. To get the ultimate experience, listen to music with lossless encoding (OGG,FLAC) or CD's. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Geräuschdurchlässige Kopfhörer mit gutem Klang und perfekt für unterwegs *by M***I on Reviewed in Germany on February 1, 2015* Phantastische Kopfhörer. Meine Ohren sind sonst absolut resistent gegen Kopfhörer.In-Ear fallen nach ein paar Sekunden raus, egal welche Größe, egal welche Richtung, egal wie fest ich sie ins Hirn drücke.Zum Sport aber immer Headphones zu tragen ist bei vielen Übungen sehr lästig.Ein befreundeter DJ empfahl mir diese Kopfhörer und ich bin wirklich begeistert. Sie halten bombenfest ohne mich zu stören. Der Klang ist fabelhaft und das wichtigste ist, dass sie geräuschdurchlässig sind. Unterwegs sehr sicher. Ich höre Warnsignale, Rufe und Verkehr.Möchte ich Geräusche ausblenden gibt es leider nur den Weg die Musik etwas lauter zu machen, aber meistens stört mich das bisschen was durchkommt nicht allzu sehr.Das Kabel hat eine gute Länge, der beigelegte Clip sehr praktisch beim Sport und unterwegs. Die schwarz weiße Musterung auch sehr schick, mal was anderes. Die Kunststoffummantelung lässt sich leicht und gründlich reinigen.Das Geld ist hier wirklich zu 100% gut angelegt. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/618703-bose-ie2-audio-headphones](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/618703-bose-ie2-audio-headphones) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
