Review on Bose 1602778001 In Ear Headphones Earphones by Jessica Lawson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

THIS IS NOT the Android version! Plus #1 Pros and Cons and: Bose - make a replacement! (please)

The main reason for my review is to warn potential buyers that this is NOT the Android version (which is a little strange as some reviews indicate it's not right for iPhone etc. work .) d.). .). My theory is that they seem to be sold out almost everywhere (besides production?) and we're at the end of an inventory barrel and they're shipping what's left. As of this writing, for the 2 other Android compatible pairs I've had: #1 Pro: FIT is exceptional. Soft silicon(?) wings hold the speaker in the ear. It's not the kidneys that clog/seal the ear canal. I used to love them (and still love them for music), but for all-day business calls the form factor is amazing. #1 Cons: As mentioned, they will eventually break the cable. In my case, after about 2 years of fairly heavy use, the right ear stopped working. (I wear them when I'm done, roll them up and put them in a tote bag, take them out, use them, repeat. I think that's too much for thin wire, thin insulation and a thin outer shell.) It would be great if Bose had a new rugged version - judging by the reviews, none of the wireless networks are that good for calls (mic/bluetooth audio doesn't measure up to a wired connection). Why not? NB: I put 1 star because I wanted people to notice the lack of a clear indication that they were going to ship the apple. When I'm told it's fixed I'll reboot.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
