IMHO their worth every dime of it and they are made for portable players. Target sells them and you can audition a pare for yourself. They have a really good dynamic range which gives music that live feeling people get when they hear live music. And the older you get, the more high you lose assuming of course you don't play your music at ear busting levels. <grin> Next time your visiting a Target Store check them out. They are the only ones for that much money. They do have cheaper models too that are made for portable players including the ear buds but you can't listen to them first for obvious reasons. The ones you can are over the ear models and are intended for listening to music but not wile your walking around town.. As my wife says, when you put those phones on, your in a world of your own. Yes I am dear. She likes to relax by watching a little TV. I like to relax by listening to music so to each their own. I do have to admit that at 65 years old I need to go into settings and kick the treble up a little. To many years of playing live music and being on the road. Oh well, I'd do it all over again if I were young again! ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Baracco To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 6:58 PM Subject: Re: good earbud headphones recommendation
$200! ouch!

They come with both a short and a long cable with the standard 3.5 Mm plugs which connect to a short about 2 inches long cable coming out of the left ear cup. The cables can be connected together to make a long cable. These phones are made for portable players as well as iPhones. The phones fold to a compact size and come with a nice zippered case. They are light-weight and you can wear them for hours with no discomfort or sweating. The cable that comes out of the left ear cup is thicker and should pose no problems as it is made to support the dead weight of all the cables. The cables act as an antenna for use with iPods with a radio. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPod Nano fifth generation. The phones work well with the Nano's FM radio. These are very good phones if your a keyboard player and your recording your performances to a digital recorder and need to hear the balance and bass content to get your mix just the right way. The ear buds are very good but they aren't a match for the ear phones which as I said are made for use with iPhones and iPads. The model numbers change but the price remains the same and you can tell by the description if these are the right ones because it says their made for use with iPhones and iPads and other music players. In my opinion, you would have to look pretty hard to find another set of phones that offer grate comfort and even better sound. ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Werner To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 1:32 PM Subject: Re: good earbud headphones recommendation Eric is right. The Bose headset is very comfortable, an the audio quality is excellent. The bass isn't boomy, and the treble isn't peaky. The set comes with medium-sized covers already mounted and includes small and large covers. The little headphones do not penetrate deeply into the ear canal. The complete model number for the in-line microphone and remote version is MIE2i. Craig On 5/14/13, Eric <[email protected]> wrote: > They cost more, but in this case they are worth more.
