I am usually a fan of in-canal earphones because the earbud type hurt my ears, and usually don't have great bass. I have been running pretty seriously for the past 6 months and have gone through several sets of canal phones - Sony, JVC, Skullcandy, etc. They all seem to jiggle loose while I run, especially when I get hot and sweaty. In particular I had one set with the in-line mic and controls that made the problem worse; the weight of the switch bouncing around while I run tugged the cord and pulled the left side out every time.
I decided to indulge in the Bose and it was worth the cost. They way the earpiece is designed makes them hook into your ears very securely. I can give the cord a good tug and they will not come out; if anything that hooks them in tighter. Add the cord clip which you can clip to you shirt and these are not going anywhere. The length of the cord is just right - long enough to reach a device in my shorts pocket or my armband without excessive length flopping everywhere where I have to coil it up. They come with 3 different sizes of earpieces so they should fit pretty much anyone.
The sound quality is what you would expect from Bose, which is phenomenal, accurate sound. I'll note that even though they go into the ear canal a bit, because of they way they are designed they still allow outside sound in to a certain degree; enough to keep you aware of your surroundings but not enough to interfere with the quality. If you are looking for strictly in-canal phones in the same price range you might check out Shure.
I got the ones without the cell phone controls because I mainly use these for running with an MP3 player, and have no use for that feature, plus I didn't want the mass of the switch tugging on the cord while I run. Although, these stay in well enough that it might not be an issue.
Add in the nice case and these are a great set of headphones for running and other sports. I just wore them for a 10k race and had no problems, just great Bose sound.
UPDATE: The other day I left them in the pocket of my shorts and discovered them after they had gone through the washer and dryer. I was about to be bummed that I had to buy a new pair, but I plugged them in and they still sound glorious! They felt silky smooth from the fabric softener too!

Best in-ear headphone I have ever used.
I owned one pair and I love them so much that when I lost them while traveling I had to buy another pair of these headphones. The sound drivers that are used produce a crisp clean sound with just the right amount of bass to give you a great listening experience. The ear cups hold the buds in a comfortable position allowing you to wear them for long periods of time. My girlfriend was the one who got me into bose and I was a little skeptical at first but now after using them for about 6 months they are the only earbud I would use for daily use. If you intend to use them to listen to music while playing an instrument (I play drums) they do not block enough of the sound for that and instead you should look into a pair of noise isolating/ canceling ear buds.Unlike many trending in-ear headphones, bose understands the importance of air movement to produce accurate sound tones. The reason my girlfriend bought these headphones was because these were the only quality in-ear buds that did not rely on sealing your entire ear up to stay in. Instead of being shoved up inside your ears, they sit inside pleasantly, being secured with the C-shaped tips, allowing proper airflow around the earpiece, and preventing muffling or dislodging. She, too, tragically lost her pair after a workout, and ordered a very similarly-styled, but cheaper pair with a different company, hoping they would be similar. They didn't last more than five minutes before she reordered the bose. Nothing compares.
