New Bose Mobile In-ear Headset
Bose has introduced its first mobile in-ear headset, allowing users to enjoy music on their mobile phones with high-quality audio performance and a comfortable fit. The new headset also makes it easy to take incoming phone calls — featuring a convenient inline microphone and one-touch answer/end button that lets users switch seamlessly from music to calls and back.
The new Bose ® mobile in-ear headset (which is not a noise-reducing or sound-isolating headset) is compatible with most music-enabled mobile phones, including the 3G iPhone and original iPhone models. A set of three different 2.5mm adapters is included for connections to many other popular mobile phones.
Employing proprietary Bose technologies, including Bose TriPort ® acoustic headphone structure and an electro-acoustic design, the Bose mobile in-ear headset delivers audio performance with realism, clarity and acoustic range.
It’s ergonomically designed for extended listening, resting gently in the outer bowl of the ear. Three interchangeable, differently sized silicone ear tips — small, medium and large — provide a comfortable fit. The Bose design makes light contact with the entrance to the ear canal, reducing irritating pressure points, yet establishing enough contact to hold the headset in place more securely than many conventional earbuds.
The new Bose mobile in-ear headset joins the newly improved Bose mobile on-ear headset to create a family of solutions for mobile users. It will be available from Bose for $129.95 beginning in July 2009 at authorized Bose dealers, Bose retail stores, www.Bose.com or toll-free at 1-800-444-BOSE (2673).

Fiber-to-the-Seat™ provides a fiber optics network running at a gigabit per second – High-definition video is only the beginning – who knows what the hot, killer apps will be 10-20 years from now?!”
After searching for a while trying to find a high quality headset that worked well as well as didn’t hurt my wallet, I stumbled into the Bose store last week and discovered the in-ear mobile headset. While a $129 price tag may seem a bit much, it is nothing compared to some of the $200-400 headsets I priced from other companies. The sound/call quality is everything I could want out of this headset. The design is stylish, easy to use, and functional. This headset would be perfect if it had volume control built in. Other than that small matter, this has been my favorite headset for my iPhone that I have purchased.
Thanks so much for the information. Definitely helped me in my search.
