Reviews around feature (3.90 of 5)

  • The best part of these headphones is that you can adjust the noise canceling feature to whatever environment you are in, high to block out the outside or low to have a conversation while listening to music.
  • Bose you can do it better.- Connectivity: well, it is the weakest feature of this device
  • The app that Bose offers as a couple of neat features that let you control the level of noise canceling, volume, monitor charge, change settings for sleep time, and even transition the headphones from one device to another seamlessly.
  • The headphones have a great feature of verbally announcing the battery charge when you turn them on, for example: "Battery charge 70%, connected to Stephen's

Reviews around control (3.54 of 5)

  • I feel kind of mixed about these Bose Quiet Control Headphones
  • When the blue light glowed I selected Bluetooth settings on my device and selected Bose Quiet Control 30 from the list
  • The controls are difficult because first you cannot see them, so it's entirely by feel, and second the noise cancelling adjustment buttons are really
  • Second, the controls are awkward as they hang from the right earbud cord
  • It has involved from Quiet Cancel into Quiet Control, feels really good and very convent when you can change the noise percentage.

  • I purchased the QC 30 from my local Bose store a few days ago and have already been using them during my daily commutes on the DC Metro as well as in the office (where I sit in a cube farm next to some loud salespeople on the phones all day).

  • Excellent soundExcellent noise cancellationEasily managedI’m so happy!
  • Bose really missed the mark on this oneI will keep them simply because I want noise cancellation on par with earplugs while being able to pipe in sounds from my phone.

Reviews around background (2.02 of 5)

  • This is useless for making a call, as there is sever background noise sent out, to the extent that every one complains that they cannot hear you clearly.

  • Unfortunately the microphone design/placement is not great and I had multiple complaints from the people I was calling about not being able to hear me or about excessive background noise
  • Sounds that would be a quiet background noise for most are just as loud as a person talking right next to me
  • You will see some examples in my video of that as well as in a store and road noise

  • Also it seems to loose connection when device is within 10ft

Reviews around people (1.88 of 5)

  • The mic seems to work better than the QC20 did (even before it died of course) and people don't complain about background noise even in some situations I'd expect them to
  • Phone calls: The people on the other end are not complaining and are giving the sound quality 8-10
  • Although the mic is good - people tell me that there's not really a difference when they hear me.2
  • not used to it... people on the other line complain that my voice is very low
  • One complaint I see about them is that people on the other end of the telephone line hear all the background noise that you don't
