In an obvious non-Bose move, the company has just outed a trio of products that basically seem inexpensive. Needless to say, it’s unlike the outfit is suddenly catering to the low-end market, but those willing to pay a Benjamin or so for a tight set of ‘buds now have three more to think about. The IE2 has been engineered for portable media players, while the MIE2 and MIE2i are both designed to deal with calls and tunes. The latter, as you’d surmise, is designed specifically to govern a variety of iDevices, though the entire group ships with StayHear tips that supposedly stay lodged for longer irrespective of activity. Curiously, none of these offer noise cancelling or sound isolating technologies, and naturally, Bose isn’t delivering any of those pesky specification details. The IE2 is predicted on store shelves on August 23rd for $99.95, while the MIE2 ships on an analogous date for $30; as for the MIE2i, that one will surface in October for $129.95.
Engineered for Improved Audio Performance and Stability
Bose has introduced three new in-ear products: the IE2 audio headphones for listening on-the-go, and the MIE2 and MIE2i mobile headsets, designed specifically for music-enabled cell phones. Each is engineered with proprietary Bose technologies for improved audio quality, and feature new Bose® StayHear™ tips for greater stability and a snug fit.
The IE2 audio headphones, and MIE2 and MIE2i mobile headsets (which might be not noise cancelling or sound isolating) offer an enhanced acoustic design using a more sophisticated application of proprietary Bose TriPort® acoustic headphone structure. Music sounds smoother and more natural, instruments have better detail and definition, and high frequencies and vocals are reproduced with improved clarity.
For improved stability — during exercise or other rigorous activity — each new model debuts proprietary Bose StayHear tips. They attach more securely to the headset itself, and then remain more securely inside the ear while in use. Designed with soft silicone and a rounded profile, they fit easily in the bowl of the ear, while naturally conforming to the upper ridge of the ear. Three sizes are included — small, medium and big — ensuring a snug fit for hours of listening.
The IE2 audio headphones may be used with numerous audio sources, including MP3 players, personal computers and digital music players. The MIE2 and MIE2i mobile headsets offer a further benefit — taking calls readily from music-enabled cellphones. They feature a convenient in-line microphone and one-touch answer/end button for seamless switching from music to calls and back. While the MIE2 is compatible with many cell phones — including all iPhone models and plenty BlackBerry devices — the MIE2i was designed exclusively for listening to and control of select Apple products, including the iPhone, iPod, iPad and MacBook Pro. Its in-line microphone provides access to certain voice applications in Apple products, and the in-line remote lets users adjust volume and navigate through stored music directly from the headset.
The IE2 audio headphones and MIE2 and MIE2i mobile headsets were constructed and manufactured for lasting quality. From the ear how one can the cables, they have got been tested to fulfill demanding standards for durability. A carrying case is included for additonal protection and convenience.
Bose® IE2 audio headphones replace the Bose in-ear headphones, and come in on August 23, 2010 for $99.95. The Bose® MIE2 mobile headset replaces the Bose mobile in-ear headset, and is out there on August 23, 2010 for $129.95. The Bose® MIE2i mobile headset will likely be available in October, 2010 for $129.95. In conjunction with the brand new StayHear™ tips, each new model comes with the original ear tips for a more traditional fit and look. They’ll be sold at select authorized Bose dealers, Bose retail stores, www.Bose.com, and toll free at 1-800-444-BOSE (2673).
