We did some preliminary testing on the the Bose mobile in-ear headset today.
These produce a very nice sound for both soundAMP live listening and for music, higher quality than Apple’s earbuds. The fit is the best I have tried for an in-ear headset. There is a variety of ear tips in small, medium and large, and these are easy to peel off and slide on. The shape of the ear tips does not occlude the ear canal, and rests comfortably in your ear, and the earbuds do not fall out as the Apple earbuds sometimes do. The mic piece answers and ends phone calls and advances songs. Volume up & down is not supported on this headset.
This is a very nice choice for a high quality in-ear headset. Price in the US is $130.
Added note — after further use comparing the output levels of this Bose headset with the Apple earbuds, I notice the loudest volume level for the Bose is noticeably lower than for Apple earbuds.
