Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones

By Mike Kobrin on 21 February 2007

The Bose In-Ear Headphones are a hybrid set, falling right between regular earbuds and canalphones. They don't block out noise, but they do provide much more bass than stock earbuds -- almost too much, in fact.

  Had them for 2 years given them hell and back. Amazing comfort

  • Good: Very comfortable for extended periods. Bass. Build quality
  • Bad: Stiff cord, hopeless for excercise, glue in tips

  Very comfortable for very extended periods. I often have them in my ears for 4 hours with no discomfort whatsoever

  • Good: Comfort. Solid B****
  • Bad: A bit quite, stiff cables make them easily fall out with exertion. Probably the worst earphone to go to the gym with. Silicone Bits dissapear. I've ended up supergluing mine on. A good general earphone but not worth the $160 price is Australia. Much cheaper online but a inner ear would do a lot better at noise isolation. For wearing these for most of the day walking around (I often do with my job) these can't be beat for comfort

  Just bought these ear phones last week and they are great. Agree with the review that the midrange is abit ‘muffled’ at times. But I found selecting the ‘treble booster’ on my iPod EQ greatly enhanced the treble and clarity. I disagree with the complaints with the rubber tips, I found them to fit great, and you can always change the sizes

  • Good: Excellent bass levels for such small earphones. Overall crisp and clear sound
  • Bad: Some songs the bass seems like overkill. Again, found switching to ‘bass reducer’ on the EQ helped. Price

  guys these earphones r the very best!!!! just adjust the tone levels, lower the bass and extend the treble.... u wil find yourself at the end of all sound.... the peak

  • Good: utmost comfortable fit!
    pumping bass-serene mids-glimmering highs!
    looks awesome!
  • Bad: just keep them in the case 2 avoid dirt build-up and loss of earbuds.
    i recommend super-glueing them.
    btw its an awesome case! pure leather.....need i say more lol

  I've had these headphones for over a week now and think they are fantastic. At first the bass did sound a bit too heavy, but now I don't feel that way. I think the low sounds have mellowed out now they have been worn in. Or perhaps I'm just used to it. They sound better then the Sennhieser CX 300 I had which were also great. Also have had no problem with the plastic inner ear pieces falling off. I put them back in their leather case each time though.

  • Good: Nice warm, live sound.
  • Bad: ear piece can fall out if exercising.
