I think everyone has made their opinions clear on this matter. DNJ and a couple more don't like Bose. The vast majority of people who have tried them love them.
I'm using Nanos now and I like them a lot for what little I'm doing these days, but I love the Bose gear, both large and small. Had a chance to sell at a great price after almost nightly use for 5 or 6 years so I don't have any now. Well I do have a Compact left in the garage (I had three. Don't ask why 'cause I don't remember.) If the need arises I'll pick up another Compact some time.
If you want to hear what you REALLY sound like, try the Bose. It will not disguise your voice or sound, rather it will enhance it.
