I also have a pair of Bose "ear buds". I paid about one hundred
dollars for them a couple of years ago. They have good high end, and
great base. The only problem for me is that because of the unusual
shape of the silicone ear pieces, and their position on the
headphone, the only way I can really get a good sound is to
physically hold both of them at a particular angle, and press them
slightly down on the outside part of my ear. I'm using a brand new
pair of Sony ear buds that I picked up for about eighty bucks this
afternoon. They're the clearest-sounding ones yet.
Happy New Year to all.

Hi! I definitely thought about getting the Bose headphones, but
didn't know if they were the same style as the sonys, and for the
price, I was afraid of taking the chance. What I like about the
sonys is that they're really really tiny and fit my ears way better
than anything else I've ever seen. Something like the buds that come
with booksense or with anything else for that matter is that they
just don't fit my ears and I can't hear them. So, I would have tried
the Bose, but didn't want to spend a fortune on headphones only to
discover I can't use them.
I have Bose media mate speakers on my computer, though, and wouldn't
trade them for the world. In fact, I got my hands on a second pair
of media mates which I have hooked up to the dvd/vcr combo in my
bedroom. It isn't home theater, but it will certainly do in a pinch. (smile)

Along with those as an option, I have the lighter version of the
Bose noise cancelling head phones which I have been very pleased
with. They do not have separate controls either, but I have one bad
ear and one fairly good ear and do all right with these. I have a
pair of the ear buds also by Bose which I carry in my purse, though
I don't think I would purchase those if you can get ear buds that
work well at a lesser cost. I tried them because of my hearing
situation. They are all right for some things and not for others.
The problem with the Bose products is that they are a bit on the
pricey side, but definitely worth considering under certain circumstances.

I'm extremely partial to some Sony ear buds I started using about 6
years ago. In fact, I could never go the bluetooth headphones route
unless I knew that the bluetooth buds were designed exactly the same
as these are. The ones I use don't have volume control on the
earbuds themselves, but they have excellent sound quality.
I'll provide a link in case you want to check them out.

My mom has major hearing loss as well, and has also become quite
fond of these particular buds.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

I wondered if someone could recommend a good set of headphones to
use with the booksense. I have a hearing loss on one side so if
there were some with independent volumes on each side that would be
great. Are there any out there with good sound in the highs as well
as bass? Thanks.
