I hear my own breathing, the rustling of the cheap plastic wire and every other vibration around me

The wire has a smooth plastic feeling (so cheap) and it is extremely loud if it touches anything

Sound like cheap $10 headphones and cheap plastic too

First, for what it's worth, their construction feels exceptionally poor -- the plastic feels cheap and delicate, as if it could easily break, and the cord feels cheap.

However, the plastic on the ear bud snapped on me within 12 hours of owning the product, rendering the headphones useless, after a gentle tug on the cord when I reached for something just outside of the reach of the speaker cord length

I was very disappointed to find that this newer model that cost $50 more is inferior to the older model that I have:- sound quality is poor- uncomfortable in ear- wires are stiff and not pliable.- the slitter (i.e. plastic part that splits the single wire into two) is odd shape and make wires that go to ears hang in front of my face

That hard plastic Y seems durable and helps to maintain spacing as the thin left and right wires go up to your ears.

I'm unsure if Bose started to use a cheaper plastic or rubber for the in-ear pieces that is supposed to allow the earphone to remain in your ear

The thin leads from each bud eventually join at a hard plastic Y-piece before continuing to the jack.

Superb Use them while doing work, they are super noise cancelling almost as good as the over ear headphones

And yes the cord sucks as it is very noisy

These work!- Sound is amazing.- Blocks out sound so that people can't hear what you hear so play it as loud as

I don't blame the store employee as it didn't appear he had any control over making it

These earphones have a nice modern design as the wires look the same as the previous soundtrue's but have a T like wire splitter

What is with the T separation where the wires split

The ONLY things I'm not thrilled with is that they changed the plug-in from L-shaped to I-shaped and that the spot where the buds split is a weird T-shape as opposed to the traditional Y-split

Although the ambient noise cancellation works and range of the in-ear speakers are excellent in bass, mid-range, and highs, the seemingly cheap quality of the headset cords picks up a LOT of noise when you touch it or when it brushes up against you while listening- this most noticeable above the T-connector area where the wire splits into the two cables

The “T” cable splitter as opposed to your standard “Y” split is unbelievably annoying

The wing-tip design is still good and comfortable, about the only positive I can think of
