But as far as noise cancellation in a noisy environment goes, this works great.

There are times I will use just for the noise-cancel feature if I am in a super noisy environment and just want to 'turn the volume down' around me

They are excellent when used for listening to music in noisy environments

I am not sure if I was just a "rough environment" customer or if the QC 30 model needs some work

It sucks when it comes to taking calls on the road , callers won’t be able to hear you if you are in a noisy environment

But I also spend a lot of time in other noisy environments, including an open plan office, walking on the roadside, and in cafés

Mic - If you are in a very noisy environment or in a location where there is considerable breeze/wind, the noise cancellation may not be the best

the call quality when making and receiving phone calls is lacking in NOISY environments

Try this is a noisy environment and you will see how incredibly annoying it is.

I work in a very noisy environment and these along with ambient sounds clears everything away

Voice to text is useless unless you are in a perfectly quiet environment

In a noisy environment, the on/off switching of the NC becomes quite intrusive on the ears.

I tried quite environments, noisy environments - didn't matter.

variable noise cancellation (none when I'm out walking and need to be aware of surroundings, all the way up when in noisy environments, or somewhere in between when in the office), pretty good advertised battery life, and a super comfy neck

Turns out it is useful when you're in a _quiet_ environment and want to hear someone calling out for you.**Update

So when I turned up my volume I was able to clearly hear my audios, but otherwise, it was difficult in such a noisy environment.-- Random Disconnection

I work in a noisy, open environment, which is why I bought these, and am on the phone quite often but when I answer the phone on these headphones, people on the other line always complain that they can't hear me because all the background noise

If taking/making calls with the earbuds is important to you it would be a deal breaker in my opinion, but for listening to books and music in loud or distracting environments these are the ones to have.

They work great in a noisy office environment and when walking around the city on my lunch break or on my way to the gym, which is where they will get the most use.

This will be very good for noisy work environment

I did find a nice little feature in the app that allows you to adjust noise cancelling amount on the fly depending on your surrounding environment, I tested the QC30’s with various Apple products using different iOS versions and everywhere from very quiet to extremely noisy environments and had absolutely no issues whatsoever

I got these mainly to help eliminate background noise while I'm working and to hold phone conversations in noisy environments

It found it to be on par with some much more expensive ANC headsets I use at work for noisy environments.

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

All in all it is a god sent in a noisy open space office environment ... yet not sure if there is an issue or it is just that it's

In a noisy environment, particularly with lots of low-frequently rumble like an airplane, it's almost impossible to listen to music without every drum, cello, horn, or bass guitar overloading the drivers and causing static and breakup

I found this a less obtrusive alternative to my QC25's for use in a very noisy office environment.

I would buy these again when they come out in Bluetooth 5.0 in a heartbeat despite the noisy environment call quality issue and the cheap ass short cord.

Not quite as good as the wired version but 90% and good enough to make a call on a noisy environment like an airport.

Also, in noisy environments walking around these headphone block out all but the loudest noises

But pairing and reconnecting isn't an issue.- Battery: is good, it could last maximum of 10 hours and it will charge in 2 hours.- Talking in noisy environment: don't expect a lot

Since I have a qc25 and absolutely love it, I am really angry about how BOSE is not reacting to this problem other than telling me that it is not meant for call situations in loud environments

However, after only a couple of months of regular use not in a harsh environment of any kind the materials in the neckband started separating

Still, my primary use case is listening to music or watching Netflix in noisy environments and the QC 30 is very good for this.

The two things I would ding this product on, though, are the fact that the microphone doesn't have the same noise cancellation that the headphones do (so if I'm on a call in a noisy environment, I can't hear the noise, but everyone else can), and once in a while the audio becomes garbled on phone calls

They were not at all bad, considering that these headphones are designed to cancel noise in a noisy environment and that studio headphones are designed to be heard in professional studio environment, where there is no noise

I am not not afraid to make calls in ANY noisy environment.

People on the other end of phone calls have trouble hearing me if I use these as well, even in a fairly quiet environment.

Also of note, when they broke I contacted Bose and they replaced them for free, no questions asked

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

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
