The good: The Bose OE2 Headphones are more compact than the original OE ("on-ear") headphones. They're lightweight, very comfortable, and feature a fold-up design with an included carrying case and a detachable headphone cord. They also offer very good sound quality.
The bad: The fidelity comes up short on bass resonance.
The bottom line: You can debate the price, but the Bose OE2s are very comfortable everyday-use headphones with a compact frame and balanced, detailed sound.

Summary: I bought these hoping to improve upon my Klipsch S4 earbuds, but my earbuds blow these out of the water. In my earbuds, the bass is powerful and punchy. On these, the music (especially the bass) is very muffled. They sound good if you're used to $20 pairs of Sonys, but they don't deliver when it comes to price. I'm going to return hem, and try the Klipsch Image Ones.

Summary: These headphones are really comfortable - you can wear them for hours but if you put the volume little higher; people around you start getting annoyed, and I like my music to be a little bit louder. However, for the price of theses headphones - I don't think they aren't worth it. Finally, its all up to you and how you judge theses headphones.

Detachable cord, captivated is always best.

Summary: Ok, there is a lot of mixed feelings with these over ear headphones, either you love them or hate them, however, i like them, even though a bit on the pricy side they deliver a typical Bose sound, the base is strong and detached allowing delicate high's to come through creating a better 3D sound stage, even though the mid can sound a bit bland at times, in my opinion these can's are more for a bit of serious listening, i use them for the journey other than for the gym.

- Part number: OE2 HEADPHONES BLK
- Description: Bose OE2 headphones combine lifelike audio with lightweight comfort. They deliver the Bose sound you expect, but they are even smaller and lighter than original on-ear headphones. You'll hear the full range of your favorite music, from deep lows to clear highs. The sleek, slim design looks great too. OE2 headphones feature an enhanced TriPort acoustic headphone structure, so you can experience big audio performance from these small earcups. TriPort technology delivers even the deep, low notes with clarity, letting you enjoy the full range of your music, movies or games. The compact design offers a smaller, lighter and slimmer profile than original on-ear headphones. Memory foam ear cushions conform to the shape of your ears, and the contoured headband sits evenly, without pressure points, on your head. They're so comfortable, you may forget you have them on - until someone tells you how good they look.
