Bose Releases iPhone Headphone Adapters

TXCraig · Nov 12, 2007, 10:43 PM

If any of your out there have been mad their Bose QuietComfort headphones would not work with your iPhone, they finally came out with an adapter.

Looks like they did it right too, they adapter adds a mike so you can talk on the iPhone with the headphones on.

I ordered mine from Bose directly, here is the link if your interested:

Just got one a few days ago. Seems to work fine. Much cleaner than the Shure adapter, since it plugs directly into the headset cup.

No call button, though.

Its nice to see companies adapting their products to work with the iPhone. =]

Why pay for these expensive adapters. I purchased one from monoprice.com which make outstanding cables for cheap. They have one for the iphone and it works great. The best part is, it only costs $1.50. Save money and get it from there

Monoprice also sells cheap HDMI cables (used on HDTVs) for $15 as opposed to the $100 that M*nster overcharges. Why anyone buys M's products just blows my mind.

I've ordered a bunch of cables from MonoPrice, their stuff is quality. Don't be turned down by the cheap prices, that's what it really costs without the branding inflation ( i.e. monster cables )

Thx for sharing the link

What's a button?

TXCraig · Nov 13, 2007, 11:33 AM

No, Bose did not put a button on the mic like the Apple earphones has.

megfilmworks · Nov 15, 2007, 09:09 PM

I guess we have determined then; no button, but it is snappier.

Drumjim85 · 09:55 PM
