Bose one is $300. Too expensive for me.

Is there any cheaper alternative that does Directional Sound (only user can hear the speaker while others couldn't hear / hear little sound)

Not looking for great sound, I just need to hear it.

Been eyeing on the soundwear for a while but the price never came down. I have a LG tone studio but the bose soundwear sounded way better. Have anyone found some good alternative to the soundwear? Would love to have something thats more affordable and give closer sound quality to the soundwear?

It's amazing that Bose don’t actually include this information on their product page, leaving users in the dark.

Have Bose discontinued the Soundwear? If so, why? And what is a good alternative?

I am looking to upgrade my music experience. Due to noise issue, I can not have loud music in the house but I'm also not willing to get another pair of headphones. Since I love surround sound, I was thinking if I should consider buying Bose Soundwear. But there are some questions:

1. This tech almost 4 years old, are new gen planned to launch anytime soon?

2. Are they worth the price?

3. Any other brand alternatives I should consider?

I mainly listen to classical and classic rock music. I appreciate balanced sound with instrument details in audio.

Thanks.

I hate that Bose discontinued the wired soundsport in-ear headphones. They were so comfortable, I could wear them all day. My second pair is starting to have issues so looking for a replacement.

I prefer wired and in-ear. I need something I can use for work in meetings as well as have decent quality that I can enjoy listening to music as well. Hopefully someone has found a decent alternative and can share. Thanks.
