Sonic supremacy

First off these IE2 sound great they are a pleasure to rock out with.
Noise cancellation they are not but it forms such a great seal in your
Ear they almost feel like they are noise cancellation headphones until a louder Outside Source reminds you that they are not,after you get use to wearing them you don't even realize that you are wearing them,I would
Use these in a pro audio application because what you record is what
You hear,if you like being lied to by your headphones fine but if you dont THEN BUY THE BOSE IE2 listen to your favorite records on them & hear what you have been missing.

Bose IE2

I do not like in ear anything {really}. after getting the Bose IE2 and
getting the right ear pieses in they were unbelievable. Off the
chart, no kidding. The sound quailty is better then my headphones.
They worked great for my first concert allowing me to mix live on
stage. The price is with in reach and a well placed investment.

BOSE IE2

Although they do make quality products, I'm not usually very impressed with Bose in terms of bang for the buck, and I don't normally write reviews, but I couldn't pass on this one! The Bose IE2 gets a 5.0 from me because it delivers great sound at a great price. I'm using them with a Shure PSM 200 system for in ear stage monitors and they are just right for me. I prefer an ear bud that doesnt totally seal off ambient sound. The gel design fits perfect without totally plugging my ear, is comfortable, and never falls out. I can hear everything I need to with plenty of headroom. There are some high end earbuds with multiple drivers out there that cost nearly 5 times as much, and they are great, but for my needs the IE2 is clean, clear and just right. I use them with my iPod as well and they blow the stock earbuds away!

Great clarity

This is my first time buying a bose product, and when I listen to a song on them they sound like I am right there in the studio or at a concert with the band. I highley recommend these to anybody that is a music lover, because not only is the audio crystal clear but you can even hear bass lines in a song that you would not normally hear on any other earphone or headphone. Bose really knows how to make good products and they live up to what they say. So get you a pair and start listening to what music is really suppose to sound like.

good choice

Great for the price. We use them for in ear monitoring at church and my bass player is pleased with the overall sound. That is tough to do for $100.

Muddy to me...

I own 3 pair of "good" in-ear monitors: Bose IE2, Shure E2, and Ultimate Ears 7, with the UE7s running at $700 (custom fit), the others at $100 ea. I own a Bose home theater system, and generally have been happy with the audio quality of Bose; however with their IEM, I was (surprisingly) disappointed - the sound is muddy. Bose has clearly tried to enhance the bass frequency in the speaker, but have overdone it. My UE7s have dual bass speakers, so the bass is 6 db higher than level, but the clarity of the UE7s is excellent - the bass is not overdone. Shure wins in the low cost, single driver category.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
