i'm posting on this ancient thread to warn off potential purchasers.
i had a pair, used an ft promo code from someone who i think turned out to be one of the hacks mentioned upthread.
was pleased with them...for a very short while.
they broke fairly quickly (but not quickly enough to be replaced for free, although i was of course offered a promo code to buy another pair). i glued them back together, they lasted another trip or so, but then shorted out in a different location from the break. based on the poor performance--i had a pair of shures that lasted forever, and i'm NOT hard on them--i've given up. thought i'd pass along a warning to others.

It's an old thread, I carry a pair as a spare in my EDC - it's okay, doesn't compare to my Sennheiser CX's IEM, which cost a bit more. In their price range, I highly recommend getting a pair of (authentic - bar/scan code can be verified on OEM's site) Xiaomi Piston 3, for about $25 USD and it sounded a lot better than the Airbuds, much closer to Sennheiser's specs and well built. Yes - foam tips upgrade made a lot of difference and on the road, not worry about losing the Bose. http://1drv.ms/1JBXCDb
Wrote them at Airbud about replacement foam tip and never heard from them, let alone getting the comp'd tips as above.
