This review is from: Bose® MIE2 Mobile headset (Personal Computers)
What an exceptional buy. The Bose sound is second to none, as I have other Bose equipment at home. Dealing with I Zone was a joy although I didn`t realise they were based in Canada,therefore allow plenty of time if you are buying for for a special occasion.Unfortunately my wife`s Samsung phone was not compatible with the Bose headset and although I trawled the London electronic shops and the internet,I couldn`t get an adaptor to fit and had to sent it back. I Zone dealt with my problem swiftly and courteously and refunded my money without a murmur,I would definitely buy from them again without exception. What a pity!

This review is from: Bose® MIE2 Mobile headset (Personal Computers)
I bought a set of Bose headphones like these about 4 years ago, and i loved them.
I decided to upgrade to these, to have the benefit of the tri-port system and the functionality to use with my mobile phone.
The headphones are great as expected. Good sound and I find that the new style ear-buds work well. I usually hate in-ear phones, but the older Bose ones were comfortable and these are even better.
HOWEVER, I am dissapointed that the new model cable is 20cm shorter than the older ones. Plus the older model had a neck-cord. I really liked the length of the older model and i am disappointed with the loss of that length. It seems to have lost approx 10cm from length between the earphones and the “y-joint” and approximately 10cm from the overall cable length to the plug.
But for sound quality I cannot fault them – i use them on aircraft, in noisy offices, and while they do not have “active noise reduction” I find they do reduce outside noise without making me deaf to others trying to talk to me.

One of the features that Bose list for this headset is “Take calls with one-touch ease” – well not on an iPhone 4! The microphone doubles up as an answer/end call button. The mike gives good quality sound but the answer/end call function simply doesn’t work. The StayHear earbuds are very comfortable. The sound quality is good but the sales hype is misleading.
