I checked out some Bose headsets at the Outlet mall in San Marcos, and I REALLY LOVED THEM! I plugged some demo units into my Android phone and my PSVita, and I couldn't hear the sound of my own voice (w/ the volume off). THEY WERE AWESOME!
I've always found that having an in-line remote control and microphone to be very convenient for volume adjustments and track skipping, so I'd go with the latter.
Two things I have noticed over the several years that I have used these headphones, apart from their great audio quality. 1. Needs much higher volume than my Audio Tech headphones to get similar sound. 2, As you say, storing is not ideal. Did not use mine for about a year for some reason, and when I got them out of the storage bag, one ear miff was stuck to the other and they had to be replaced - not expensive, but very fiddly.
Great review! But is the ath m50 a better buy? I listen to regular pop music, sometimes classic and a lot of RU-vid videos. I need good comfort and realistic sound.
I had the Bose IE2 models. After 5 years of having them the right ear finally went out yesterday. Should I upgrade to these or go for the Sie2 or Sie2i's? feed backs appreciated :) thanks!
But the version BOSE AE2i has microphone and can turn up or turn down the volume. If i use the audio cable of BOSE AE2i in the BOSE AE2 these functions will work? Thanks for your attention. And sorry if i have mistakes, what happens is that i'm hispanic.
