Forget Bose. Its Bang & Olufsen. Ask anyone that knows anything about sound engineering. They'll let you know.

I tried these from a friend of mine and liked how they didn't feel like they were there after a few hours. Very light and offer good sound. Bass is kinda weak, but overall very comfortable.

These are probably the best earbud style (as opposed to in-ear) earphones.

Design and Fit: Very cool, form+function. It's got aluminum and rubber components, and just about every piece can be adjusted with a smooth, pneumatic feel. May look slightly cyborgish or cool, depending on your taste. You can wear these for hours without any pain or fatigue.

Sound: Pretty good. As these are somewhat open, and not in your ear canal, some of the sound leaks out, and you can hear ambient noise. This is a good thing if you need to hear what's going on around you (jogging, for example). However, it does affect the ability of the earphone to deliver strong, powerful sound. Everything seems pretty balanced and relatively clean. Not the most detailed sound reproduction but pretty good nonetheless.

All in all a great earphone, especially if you like cool design and hate sticking things in your ears.
