Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Bose should be would becould very well be best known for its active noise-cancelling headphones , but that does not mean it is a stranger to the apparent ol’ passive types. Take for example its latest duo of supra-aurals, the $150 OE2 and the $180 OE2i (which merely adds an iDevice compatible inline remote / mic for those extra Hamiltons). Put simply, these cans are an evolutionary update to the company’s TriPort OEs, promising a more well-off fit from memory foam padding, and improved sound quality. As you’d expect, there’s absolutely no mention of specs, but frequent travelers may be joyed to understand that the headphones can fold up for storage inside an included carrying case. The OE2s are currently available for purchase from Bose in a call of black or white colorways — an ideal match for that en route iPhone of yours. Full PR past the break.

New Bose® On-Ear Audio Headphones

Improved Audio Performance, New Style

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Bose has introduced its next-generation of on-ear headphones: the OE2 and OE2i audio headphones. The OE2 and OE2i headphones deliver demonstrably better audio performance than their predecessors, and have an updated look and design. Music is reproduced with improved depth and clarity, and the recent contoured styling creates a more in-depth, more well-off fit.

The OE2i headphones include an inline remote and microphone that lets owners interact with select Apple products, including the most recent iPhone, iPod, iPad, MacBook, and MacBook Pro models. Users can easily control volume, tracks, and voice applications — and turn between music and calls on an iPhone. The OE2 headphones include a conventional audio cable. In some other way, the OE2i and OE2 headphones are identical, reproducing all genres of music accurately.

Bose’s three decades of constant on-head audio research enables a special performance difference within the industry. The OE2 and OE2i headphones feature an enhanced proprietary TriPort® acoustic headphone structure. With redesigned and newly tuned earcup ports, audio reproduction is more balanced and natural. There isn’t any manufactured “boost” around the frequency range; low notes are full and rich, and mid-high frequencies are smooth and clear.

The OE2 and OE2i headphones also feature a brand new design that’s smaller and lighter, with a slimmer profile. The headphone’s ear cushions, produced from memory foam, comply with the user and mix with a redesigned headband for a stronger, more well-off fit. Owners can listen for hours — commuting, working or playing — without the aggravating pressure points due to some conventional headphones.

The OE2 and OE2i headphones were built-to-last, and built-to-go. Both were tested to satisfy Bose® standards for sturdiness and reliability, and both fold flat for simple storage and protection. With a straightforward swivel of the earcups, they collapse neatly for carrying of their included case.

The Bose OE2 and OE2i audio headphones (which aren’t noise canceling) can be utilized with nearly any audio source. They’re available from Bose for $149.95 and $179.95, respectively. They replace the present Bose on-ear headphones, and at the moment are available in a call of black or white. Bose headphones are sold at select authorized Bose dealers, Bose retail stores, www.Bose.com, and toll free at 1-800-444-BOSE (2673).
