Bose today introduced three new in-ear headphones: the IE2 audio headphones for listening on-the-go, and the MIE2 and MIE2i mobile headsets, designed specifically for music-enabled mobile phones. Each is engineered with proprietary Bose technologies for improved audio quality, and feature new Bose StayHear tips for greater stability and a comfortable fit, which was the biggest complain people had about previous generation Bose in-ear headphones.

The IE2 is designed to work with MP3 players, whereas the MIE2 and MIE2i are designed for music enabled mobile phones. They feature a convenient in-line microphone and one-touch answer/end button for seamless switching from music to calls and back. While the MIE2 is compatible with many mobile phones -- including all iPhone models and many BlackBerry devices – the MIE2i was designed exclusively for listening to and control of select Apple products, including the iPhone, iPod, iPad and MacBook Pro. Its in-line microphone provides access to certain voice applications in Apple products, and the in-line remote lets users adjust volume and navigate through stored music directly from the headset.

Bose IE2 and Bose MIE2 in-ear headphones are available on Amazon for pre-orders, priced $99.95 and $129.95 respectively. Both the headphones will start shipping on August 23, 2010. The Bose MIE2i mobile headset will be available in October, 2010 for $129.95.
