The Bottom Line	The Bose In-Ear Headphones are a hybrid set, falling right between regular earbuds and canalphones. They don't block out noise, but they do provide much more bass than stock earbuds--almost too much, in fact.	The Klipsch Image S4 earphones offer up sound quality on par with and better than sets that cost many times as much; they are a spectacular choice for anyone looking for new earbuds.	Looking for the best in-ear headphones that money can buy? You've found them in the custom-molded Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pros.	Monster's Turbine in-ear headphone looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive model.	If you're looking for the best value in Bose headphones, the company's On-Ear models makes a strong case--even if they're not cheap.
