Pros: Handy packaging. Good sound
Cons: Cheap flimsy construction

I like the earphones and find the sound quality to be quite good.

Unfortunately, the quality of construction leave much to be desired. In the two and an half years I've owned them they've broken twice--I'm a sixty five plus senior and believe me I do not abuse them. The first time the metal piece that extends into the plastic connector between head piece and ear-piece pushed through the plastic retainer. Bose to their credit replaced the earphone. More recently and out of warranty, the metal piece simply separated from the ear-piece.

After so many years in the business charging premium prices you would think Bose products would have quality durable construction. Unfortunately not. Next time I won't buy Bose.
