These can play music only through bluetooth. There is no 3.5mm input (as it is often the case with earphones, which don’t have the space to offer both options like over/on-ears can). These average 4.4 out of 5 based on nearly 800 customer reviews, and they have nearly 50 questions answered.
PS: for apt-X to work, both your music source and the earphones must support it. Bluetooth works in a lowest common denominator fashion, so if your music source does not support apt-X or has an older Bluetooth version, they’ll connect using the lowest common protocol, not apt-X.
[DEAD] Bose Mobile earphones for $40 with free S&H
As of 8/16/17 PM recheck, this is sold out and cannot be ordered… I will be checking in the future to see if it comes back…
As of a 8/15/17 recheck, this offer is back on again! >Among the latest Dell Deals, you can get the new condition Bose Mobile earphones for $40 with free shipping. This is a limited time offer. As of the time of writing, it is 63% claimed.
This is not quite in-ear, and not quite earbuds. They have a speaker-y protrusion that enters the ear canal, but unlike IEMs, it does not seal or stay there. The combination of this and their “Stay Hear” gels help them stay on the ears. I’ve used these, convenience is their #1 feature. You can’t get a seal, so you are not going to get ideal sound like you get with a conventional IEM. I need to post reviews of many things, but for now, it’s one sentence opinions 🙂
