Bose OE2i headphones review: No 'Bose bloat'



The Bose OE2i on-ear headphones offer more balanced, natural sound compared with previous models.

Here's something you don't see every day: a pair of white Bose headphones. Yes, it's the company's second-generation on-ear headphones, the OE2 ($149.95) and OE2i ($179.95), each offered in black or white.
That "i" in the step-up OE2i adds a microphone for cell phone calls along with an Apple-friendly in-line remote compatible with more recent iPhoneiPod, iPad, MacBook, and MacBook Pro models. (Some Android smartphones also recognize the remote functionality, but volume control from headphones that carry the "Made for iPhone" stamp doesn't always work.)
These headphones are smaller and lighter than Bose's original OE headphones that launched in 2008 and earned my approval for their excellent fit and comfort. Your ears will still get a little steamy under the OE2is in hot weather, but the material is plush for equal weight distribution, and, just as importantly, they fold up to fit into a compact carrying case (included).
Are they worth their lofty price? Read the full review to find out.
