Suddenly there were loud, buzzy and sharp sounds that really hurt my ears, plugged in to AC and not, with ANC on, and not.

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

Only one problem...the right ear was completely dead

I hate 99% of earphones mainly due to falling out of my ear and hurting my ears

Is the sound canceling as good as the over-ear QC 25

The QC30 are easy to setup, includes different size earbuds to fit your ear so they don't fall out but at times the earbuds will fall out your ear also the neck band gets shifted when you are moving around which may be the reason why the earbuds fall out my ear

They stay in your ear very well and don't become a burden and hurt your ear like most other headsets (even over the ear ones)

Again, the QC 20 is best, but this is likely because I get a really good ear seal with the QC

Not as great as the over ears, but these are also much more convenient

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

There needs to be small magnets to hold the left and right ear pieces together when not in your ears

I would have liked a more professional metal control with a better feel since you can only feel for the buttons not see them on the right ear cable

I probably wore these a total of 5 or 6 hours today and my ears were completely comfortable the whole time

I have right ear hearing damage from using a Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 for podcast/music listening at too high a volume (trying to use it in too noisy environments), so I am very careful now with volume and single ear use

They are the most comfortable ear buds I've ever worn.

But the second set has the same issue with the left ear piece breaking up and making noises making it unbearable and hurts my ears

Every other neckband I've tried either has retractable or magnetic ear pieces to help protect their longevity.

Great devise for one ear phone and noise cancelling great

They hurt my ears and I can't wear them for longer than an

NOISE CANCELLING and EAR BUD COMFORT:

The primary microphone is in the right earbud, which means if you are wanting to just one-ear it, you have to do the right ear or risk having the mic constantly having scratching noise from it rubbing against shirt/chest

The ear plug torn off like a piece of paper right after the first use

The microphone is in the right ear rather than the volume control widget on the right cable, so it picks up background noise, foreground noise, and white noise it seems to produce itself

These aren't cheap, so I am regularly worried about breaking them.-Charging time is quite a bit longer on these than other similar products I've used.-The noise canceling isn't as good as an over-ear product, There is still a little bit of noise leaking in from the outside world with the way that these fit

I'll keep the QC30 at work, and eventually add a set of Hearpones to my arsenal for road trips!One more thing, if you ride a motorcycle, and wear a 3/4 or full helmet with good ear coverage, these things will make you think you're riding a BMW

The sound quality for listening to music great, ear peice comfortable, charging time is great and quick & the app is good, but that’s not good enough

None of the tips fit my ears very well, and these feel very insecure

It is not as good as around-the-ear noise cancelling rigs like the QC35, but it is really quite good

When the wire leaving the housing unit is wiggled or moved, static fills my ear and is constant

It's difficult to find the right button (you need to feel for the side vs the front of the little stick) and with the short cord a little too much fidgeting pulls the earbud out of you ear.

I can't play them on high volume without hurting my ears

Not as well as the big Bose wireless over-the-ear ones (those work better, if that's what you need)

they would fall out, get caught up in helmet, hurt my ears, battery wouldn't last and many more.

These are nice ear buds and have good sound quality is am impressed!

Sounds great, fits in ear good and are very comfortable.

Like my other Bose buds, they fit my ears nicely right out of the box.

I even used them recently at a local Green Day concert to protect my ears by turning on the noise cancelling feature, I could still hear the concert a little :-)

I have right ear hearing damage from using a Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 for podcast/music listening at too high a volume (trying to use it in too noisy environments), so I am very careful now with volume and single ear use

I'm not sure my ears are sufficiently sensitive to determine the effectiveness of the noise

Great , sound quality is excellent, comfortable to wear, ear buds stay put, highly recommend.

I ordered these in January hoping to finally find a great wireless Bluetooth ear bud.

They're also SUPER comfortable - from the person whose ears are rather smallish and can't handle most in-ear headphones

They stay in your ear very well and don't become a burden and hurt your ear like most other headsets (even over the ear ones)

You also get what I'd call "ear fatigue" because having the noise cancellation enabled for 2-3hrs, then taking them off you can feel a difference, and your ears adjust/recover from the noise cancellation experience

The QC30 are easy to setup, includes different size earbuds to fit your ear so they don't fall out but at times the earbuds will fall out your ear also the neck band gets shifted when you are moving around which may be the reason why the earbuds fall out my ear

When jogging, the right headset moves around some in the right ear and makes annoying noises in your ear

I must have unusual ears, not the You could tell, but earbuds just fall off, expevially the smooth white made by Apple, It helps having the wire pass over the ear instead of hanging down, but they still fall off

Only one problem...the right ear was completely dead

and you would expect the around ears to be better, which they are

Pros: - Excellent noise cancellation compared to other earbuds - Excellent retention in ear - Convenient neck band supports earbuds even when not in the ear - Ability to connect to more than one device - Adjustable cancellation level allows adjusting for maximum cancellation or allowing some background so you may converse with others without removing earbuds - Ability to answer and hang up calls from device without touching phoneCons

This adds weight to the right ear bud with a tendency with movement to slightly torque the right ear bud out of its seal in your ear

I just want them to come out with a slick individual ear pieces.

Great ear phones like always from Bose

The microphone is actually in the right ear bud

Unless the poor guy has a severe ear pathology

, I didn't think much of it, but I don't like the controls hanging off the cord of the right ear bud.

They're bulky, inconvenient to transport, and are rather obnoxious with the large control module hanging off your right ear

This will bode well for travelers falling asleep with the earbuds in and waking up with sore ears

Bose model does with neat ear in headphones in a wireless mode.

Also, I can easily walk around with only one ear on, leaving my other ear free so that I am readily available to interact with people

They're bulky, inconvenient to transport, and are rather obnoxious with the large control module hanging off your right ear

Also, even though sound is richer and larger from the QC35's (since it has a larger speaker that attacks the whole ear as opposed to just the ear drums), it is clearly audible to others around you and can be awkward in an office environment where you wouldn't want others to hear your music

When connected to the phone, I only use the right ear bud.

My set has a weird ticking sound in the right ear piece (another person reported on here too)

and they always fall off my ears

Nice case and the ear plugs fit well

The right ear speaker never worked.

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).

These earbuds cancel the noise but not as good as an over the ear headset.

You will see some examples in my video of that as well as in a store and road noise

As others have noted, the noise cancellation is not as good as with the Quiet Comfort 35 - which I would use more often if they weren't also earmuffs.

Guess I can just switch to the phone for my limited voice call use (or maybe Bose will issue a

I like this a lot as you don't have to take off the headphones and then put back on--you can just detach the earbuds and let 'em dangle until you need to stick 'em in your ear again

I travel and these are as good as

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