Bose OE2i headphones

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 inline remote compatible with more recent iPhone, iPod, 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). While they don't isolate noise as well as an over-the-ear model, they do pretty well muffling the sound. (If you want better noise isolation, go with the Bose QuietComfort series--which require batteries to cut out atmospheric sounds--or the Bose AE2 "around-ear" headphones.)

Bose OE2i

Bose has slowly built a reputation for innovative audio products, from tiny speakers that get extremely loud, to standard-setting noise cancellation technology that many competitors have since mimicked. So when the company releases a simple pair of headphones, it's almost surprising. The Bose OE2i, at $179.95 (direct), offers solid performance and iPhone controls built into the cable. Aside from that, there's not much else to note. The audio quality is quite good, but there are other options in this price range, of both earphone and headphone varieties, that offer more impressive sound performance. Design Offered in all black or all white (our test unit was black), the OE2i looks similar to the popular QuietComfort 3 ($349.95, 4 stars). It's also a supra-aural headphone pair, which means the cups sit on the ear instead of encircling and enclosing it. The "OE" in the product name stands for "on ear," and as you might have guessed, there's also a Bose IE2 ($99.95, 4 stars). The supra-aural design is great for comfort, but not so great for audio leakage—unless you're in a noisy environment, your coworkers or anyone nearby is likely to hear a bit of your music, too.
