Review on Bose 1602778001 In Ear Headphones Earphones by Betty Tucker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good sounding in-ears with plug durability issues

I really like these in-ears. These are great all round headphones that stay in your ear, are comfortable for a long time, perfect for working out and the sound quality is good if you like the bass accent. If only Bose really made them with a quality audio jack. This is my second pair and they both have the same problem. After about 4 months of use (usually in the trouser pocket and plugged into the iPhone during the day) one of the headphones is now sporadic. The problem could be related to the audio jack, where if you wiggle the cord, the earbud in question will pop in and out. If you position the cable correctly, it will work, but who wants that? If you have a knack, you can solder a quality headphone jack that will then last for several years. But that's not necessary for this price range. I can't say I'll buy it again, just on principle. Stop skimping on the audio jack, Bose.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not the best
