Bose in-ear Headphones

As a teenager I was a good basketball player and as any basketball fan I was totally fascinated by NBA apparels like jerseys and shoes. Then, getting an original Chicago Bulls jersey would easily set you back by at least 2000 rupees, an extremely far fetched option for a student who used to get pocket money. I used to wonder what it is that makes a vest so expensive? Is it the fabric or just the brand name that commands the high price tag.

After I actually used one, that I realized that the fabric was a special one that used to immediately evaporate sweat. Besides, it lasted really long without losing form or color. The point here is that even though it appears that top brand names charge a premium for their products, the fact is that their quality is top notch, which we only realize once we have used the product. The same applied to Bose's Quiet Comfort 3 headphones which I reviewed a while back. Unfortunately there are exceptions and the Bose's In-Ear phones are one of them. Let's have a closer look.
