The intuitive shape/design of the earbud places it in an ideal position that doesn’t move around and provides optimal sound control by creating a seal that doesn’t allow much noise to bleed in.

While the volume up and down plus track controls work fine, the noise cancellation adjustment incorporated in the same control make the whole control awkward to use because you have to feel for the correct controls to use

One is that the controls are a little awkward, but I use the phone for that stuff anyway, and Bose has a nifty little ap if you really want to get nerdy

just right to provide optimal noise control.

I prefered the QC20 controls, which was one button to either have ANC fully on, or off and piping in outside sounds

The QC 30, are comfortable, almost the same ear plug as before, way more controls if you take into account the app, and work at NC almost as

Terrible Quality Control.

Bought a pair of the Quiet Control 30 on December 3, 2016.Starting today (July 18, 2017) bluetooth isn't working

The controls are pathetic -- maybe a midget with long fingernails could work

I was able to get an old loose helmet on over them and the line is too short, the control is up inside my helmet, unreachable

I really hate to have to give Bose a bad review but the Quiet Control 30 just is not worth the money that you spend on the product.

It has involved from Quiet Cancel into Quiet Control, feels really good and very convent when you can change the noise percentage.

When the blue light glowed I selected Bluetooth settings on my device and selected Bose Quiet Control 30 from the list

I always wanted the QC 35s but my ears always get hot fast and the QC 35 are too bulky to wear while running around town--these Quiet Control 30s solve everything

I would have preferred the controls on the neckband like the power switch.

I tried to connect them to both my computer and my phone, but every time I try to play audio through them, nothing comes out until I disable whichever connection isn't playing audio via the (unreasonably slow) phone control app

And I'd strongly prefer the controls on the neckband instead of on the cord by my face, since it's a more logical and stable place - and since they've got the giant neckband, after all

Second, the controls are awkward as they hang from the right earbud cord

It would have been so much better if the controls were on the neck band, which other manufacturers figured out a long while ago.- The controls are finicky

My only improvement suggestions are that the power/pair button is difficult to push and the audio controls feel cheep and could easily fail

I really love the ambient sound control, although it's a bit odd, as it brings the sounds in via a microphone, so it's a sort of amplification, but works well

I feel kind of mixed about these Bose Quiet Control Headphones

Noises like the engine acceleration noise in my car and treadmill motor noises at the gym were well controlled with either the QC20/QC35, but the QC30 just doesn't perform up to standards.

This is in part due to the fact that Bose did not intend for them to be noise canceling, instead, they break their models up into Quiet Comfort and Quiet Control, the Comfort models are generally meant for canceling noise and the control models only do just that "Control"

This is my second bose quiet control ear plugs.

over the hear headphones whose noise canceling a far superior to the Quiet Control 30

The controls (and app) are easy to use and it holds a full charge for many days

The controls are in a terrible spot and the answer button to pick up a call or hang up doesn't work on first try

I like the control

I like the control over the NC.

The controls are very nice and they paired easily

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

Awkward control function for volume and noise cancellation.

I love it how these earbuds have controls on the earbuds themselves for volume, like the QuietComfort 20

But it feels like there should be a control to select between devices and auto mode

The controls on the headphones are easy to use

As a side note the quiet control 20 are the best in ear headset I have ever owned but with the iPhone 7 and other phones removal of the headphone jack you either have to use the adapter or buy a standalone bluetooth to 3.5mm connector.

The inline control works well to pause/start, control the volume and skip to the next song if so desired

these are made from.- Mediocre controls

The noise cancelling is pretty good, and the app is useful as far as controlling the level of noise cancelling you want.

On max level, the noise cancelation feels more subtle than the QC15, and although I haven't flown with them yet, I don't think the Quiet Control 30 is the best choice for air travel

All the controls work effectively

These controls work the same as almost all Bluetooth earphones so you should have no trouble learning the system.

Noise cancelation seems to be in service of supporting clear music and voice rather than the main function, as such the music sounds better on the Quiet Control over the Quiet Comfort, but the noise canceling is worse

The controls on the Verve I prefer also - as opposed to the one this has on the wire, those are on the neck piece itself, and so easier to find and reach consistently

But the Bose quiet control 30 is not!As the sound was not very loud or great quality

I’ve been searching for Bluetooth, in-ear (ear bud) headphones with truly effective active noise control for several years now

The app is great, the controls are great.

Before, I used Jabra Elite 65T because it has "hear through" feature that allow ambient noise to go thru so I could hear both music and conversation

these r pricey and when not in your ears they just kinda dangle
