Bose is really overpriced and not worth it.

Yeah I tend to agree. They have several products that are simply amazing...the rest of their stuff rarely ranges above good but is priced as amazing.

Head phones are a seriously individual thing.

Everything Bose sells is over price. Nice stuff but over priced.

Regular ear buds fall out on me when im running or moving a lot, these have clips that make it completely worry free. I also personally think ear buds can be bad for your hearing (just my opinion) so i usually wear these a little loose, which you cant do with regular ear buds. I also think these are much more comfortable than just plain ear buds you see all the kids wearing.

The cord is also extra long which is something else very important to me when i work out. I prefer to hold my phone/music player in my hand when running and drop it in my pocket when im walking, warming up, doing pushups, stretching, riding a bike, mowing the grass or whatever else. I wear my shirt over the cord so it isnt flying around everywhere. I have an arm band but once I put my phone in it I cant really check my pace, time myself accurately when running or change/skip a song on my playlist or pandora station without slowing down. Plus once im cooling down or taking a break I can easily start play around w my phone without having to remove it from my armband. Basically I have an armband I don’t use if anyone wants it.

I think these sound pretty good, but not great. I dont think ive have ever used a ear bud with great sound though. These sound as good or better then the any other ear bud ive used. The only time i personally want good sound is when im taking a break or half assing it. When im working hard i just need something to keep me going.

I had a pair like that for running, but they still wouldn't stay in very well and dealing with the cord, even under my shirt, drives me nuts. I run with no music, kinda sucks but I also find it relaxing and now it's just what I'm used to.
