No static, good call quality, etc

The noise cancelling was awesome and the sound quality was great.

For #1 (bad call quality) it's a non-issue for me primarily because I never use headphones while talking on the phone

However, should you want to make a phone call, the microphone is of such terrible quality as to be mostly unusable

Sound quality isn't bad either

DO NOT BUY THIS HEADPHONES!!!Bad material quality

The build quality feels good

Sound quality - As I expected from a Bose product, the sound is very good on these headphones.

more like 4 hours the quality is really good

Personally I would highly prefer less battery time to gain higher quality noise cancellation if that is the trade-off

said the quality is better than the other bluetooth headsets I've tried, though not as good as my car speakerphone

The biggest disappointment is the quality of the microphone.

Neutral: sound quality from audio source was okay, but not worth the $300, in my mind

Despite all that, I forget that I have my headphones are on and can't believe such good quality sound comes from something so light

I think I am going to keep these because of the excellent sound quality and good noise cancellation

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

I also own the QC35 headphones, and love them, so as a Bose fan and one who appreciates the noise cancelling and sound quality of other Bose products, this seemed like it should be another winner

I really thought BOSE makes the best quality products!!

Sound quality for music is good

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

it says that the mic quality is very poor

Second, the quality of voice input is abysmal with high distortion and hiss

Great sound quality, great noise cancelling ability

The sound quality is the richest I've heard in open ear headphones

First, the sound quality is good, but I personally think the QC 20 has superior sound quality which is likely due to being wired versus a Bluetooth connection for the QC 30.

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

Amazing noise cancellation, comfortable for hours, decent sound quality.

The sound quality is great, but not exceptional

I really like the sound quality, it getting rid of a lot of the back ground noise, and the confort of the device

The Bose QuietControl 30 has good noise cancellation and decent audio quality for listening to music, but the overall usability is poor

Sound quality is good with the exception of bluetooth hiccups that have no rhyme or reason

Bose may have good sound quality, but the engineering, design and materials used do not last

Second, regarding the call quality

The sound quality isn’t half bad

I don't use them for music, but the quality of sound is excellent, what is not is the noise reduction which is almost non existent

The sound quality is AMAZING, superb sound even from low quality audio sources

Sound quality is great...but it is in the Powerbeats as well

This is contradictory but I loved the sound quality but hated the mic capabilities of the headset as the mic pickup was poor at best with many dropouts and voice being clipped

The build quality is not that great though.

-When the noise cancellation control is turned down, it does not act as a mere passive (physical) noise blocking earphone, it rather includes feedback from the external microphone into the earphones and ends up amplifying surrounding noises (even more than it amplifies surrounding voices).-phone calles very poor quality and the other party hardly can hear me (very noise) even sometimes can't hear me at all!!!I was addicted to this brand bur now!!!!!HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!i sent to

Perfect noise cancellation and sound quality that rivals my over the ear QC 35 headphones

Also, the microphone makes for very poor call quality.

I know they make good quality sound systems and such

If you want a Bluetooth ,not over the ear headset that does not make you look ridiculous, with decent audio quality this is the way to go.

I've had the QC20 prior to getting these QC30 and it seems to me that the noise-cancellation and sound quality is pretty similar

The sound quality is fantastic, for such a small speaker.

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality

The sound quality is excellent.

Excellent voice quality.

I own a number of other similar high end products (the search for perfection never ends!) including other Bose products (QC20s and QC35s) and the sound quality, mic, and noise cancelling on these is just as good if not better.

Very good audio quality.

sound quality is about the same is qc20 and noise cancelling works well.

Known for innovative and exemplary sound quality, Boss speakers and headphones are consistently top-of-the-line, and these are no exception to that expectation

Great sound quality, great noise cancelling ability

Sound quality is excellent

Also, sound quality is terrific, as one would expect with a Bose product

Terrible Quality Control.

Sound quality is awesome.

The sound quality is good

Call quality - horrible

As earbuds they're fantastic, the sound quality is very good and the variable noise canceling works really well

As earbuds they're fantastic, the sound quality is very good and the variable noise canceling works really well

First, the sonic quality is poor when compared to the wired version.

I ignored are the reviews complaining about this and even the reviews complaining about poor quality and things falling apart are falling off

The sound quality is also very nice - there are almost certainly headphones with better

When noise cancellation is turned up to the maximum level, sound quality is very crisp for a set of bluetooth earphones

Positives:- Sound quality is good.- Comfortable and easy to wear.- Great for driving and talking on the phone, isolates the road noise so you can hear your conversation clearer

Noise Cancelling: great, at least on par with QC20.Connection quality (with phone): spotty

It seems the best quality is when I make it so that outside noises are amplified to me, which is not ideal when you’re trying to pay attention on a call

Poor quality and left speaker makes a weird sound

I cannot believe Bose put out such a poor quality product that obviously has hardware and software issues!

The sound quality is excellent, and the set is comfortable to wear

Great sound quality!

At that time, the microphone quality was terrible and it was evident as soon as I paired to my phone called my secretary for her input

the quality is outstanding there are a few cons that people should probably know:1 You can't charge and use it at the same time, this is a killer for me as I have a battery pack that can charge my devices and the

As always, it's the amazing Bose quality.

Great sound quality, comparable to my other high-end Bose and Shure listening gear

From my previous experiences and due to the price, I expect Bose products to be top quality

The earbuds sit comfortably in the ear and the sound quality is great

the both sound quality is very amazing, but the noise cancellation is around 75%

The good:- Bluetooth pairing was easy, the headset remembers several devices- Voice prompts tell you the battery level as well as connected device(s)- Sound quality is great, compared to other Bluetooth headsets.- Battery life is great - will last all working

This isolated complaint aside, the sound quality, NC and comfort of the QC30 is very similar to the excellent QC20, but with the huge improvement of BT convenience.

I love the sound quality and the noise cancelling, but the design of the neck band is poor.

Sound quality is obviously not as good as the wired version (although the best quality among bluetooth earphones out there)

The sound is of good quality, not horrible, but still not Bose like quality for a $300 headphone

Mic quality is a problem

Sound quality, noise cancelling.

You can change the level of noise cancellation, have a good quality of audio

Decent for working out and great sound quality; however, the design is horrible.

Sound Quality:The sound quality on these is pretty great

The quality of this product is sad

The overall quality of the product is very poor

Sound quality for music was excellent

The sound quality is hands down the best I've heard from Bluetooth headphones

I love the active noise cancellation and the sound quality is excellent on calls and for music

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

The sound quality sounds great but the QC25 sound a tad better also the QC25 block a lot of noise but its a wired connection not bluetooth

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality

Great packaging but not the best at canceling noise and overall not great quality headphones for $300!!Definitely returning them and going back to

However, the phone calls are pretty bad with the receivers always complaining of very poor quality

The sound quality is definitely like any other Bose but the build is ridiculous

Perfect noise cancellation and sound quality that rivals my over the ear QC 35 headphones

The sound quality, when you can get them to work, is okay, but nowhere near good enough to justify a $250 price tag

This is contradictory but I loved the sound quality but hated the mic capabilities of the headset as the mic pickup was poor at best with many dropouts and voice being clipped

The build quality for these earbuds is extremely good

The microphone quality as well as the way the ANC drops when initiating any interaction with the mic is so bothersome, I ended up taking it back

The bad news is that this is clearly a product of very poor quality

If you manage to get this working properly, the audio quality for music and movies is fine.

Sound quality excellent

The Bose QuietControl 30 has good noise cancellation and decent audio quality for listening to music, but the overall usability is poor

The sound quality is great, but not exceptional

So, two stars for the noise canceling and sound quality, but given the connection issues and cord length, not worth the price

My primary use is music listening and noise cancellation on airplanes (with and without music).First off, let me say the sound quality is outstanding.

Poor call quality, the other side of caller can hear my voice when I working street .

Sound quality is great

Other reviewers say the mic quality is fuzzy

Sound quality was great but Bluetooth connect-ability was intermittent at best with multiple pauses and moments of interruption

One is the sound quality is great as you would expect and two the battery life is as advertised

I also own the QC35 headphones, and love them, so as a Bose fan and one who appreciates the noise cancelling and sound quality of other Bose products, this seemed like it should be another winner

The two primary issues that other reviewers have been having seem to be 1) poor call quality, and 2) bad noise cancellation

I own a pair of Apple AirPods, even though without noise canceling, the sound quality for calls on the AirPods is outstanding

The deal breaker for me however, was the poor call quality

Sound quality is phenomenal.

Exceptionally poor quality and obviously the product was rushed to market without significant testing

Sound quality is perfect but it didn't last

The sound quality is excellent

said the quality is better than the other bluetooth headsets I've tried, though not as good as my car speakerphone

Unbelievable sound quality and worth every penny

But you won't get the vibrancy of top quality IEMs or headphones

The sound quality is decent

It has a smaller footprint and better quality

These phones may be great for certain situations, and the audio quality is excellent however I'll be looking at the over-the-ear noise-cancelling headsets for my next big trip.

The audio quality for the phone is very bad

I think the audio quality of these is solid

No static, good call quality, etc

The sound quality is amazing, the noise cancellation (when on the train) is amazing; maybe a little less amazing than the QC 20s

Have always loved the quality of the Bose products.

I have had these a little over a month and sound quality is awful

They are very comfortable, do a great job of shutting out the outside world, the sound quality is very good.

Good noise cancelling and sound quality

The noise cancellation and sound quality are excellent

Originally bought the Sport in ear headphones but the sound quality was poor.

The sound quality for listening using this set is fine

The main issue with these headphones is that the sound quality to the person on the other end of the phone when talking to them is terrible.

noise cancellations gets disrupted and voice quality becomes very poor where you can almost not be Able to complete a short phone call because the voice of the person on the other line is so far away

Perfect to use with your phone, great quality of sound.

(hence: Bose), I would certainly be bothered by a significant quality drop from the QC 20s.

Build quality also questionable as after using the headset for a few months the seal on the edges came undone and started opening up

The audio quality is also superb, music is rich, deep, with a nice dynamic range, audiobooks and phone calls are equally clear

The sound quality of the audio is actually very good as well.

Sound quality is definitely better as well

The Bose has a microphone, but I found that it does not produce the best quality.

Sound quality, noice cancellation and build quality are exceptional

Adjusting the setting for noise cancelling also does not improve the voice quality

Great quality

If you want a great form factor, super high quality materials, great sound, extreme comfort and excellent noise

My $20 bluetooth earpiece has better mic quality for the caller than this did.

Sound quality is great and pairs easily with mobile devices, which means I can take calls while listening to music on my iPhone

I loved the sound quality and the noise canceling performance.

Heaviness like pressure when active noise cancellation in work....uncomfortable a bitAbove average sound quality

And sound quality as always is excellent -

The sound quality of the music and other programs, is exceptional on these and as good as the wired version.

The sound quality is great even though you have to jam up the volume a little bit higher than the wired QC20i

Really but really really bad quality

AUDIO EXPERIENCEI use Google Play for music, as it's pretty good MP3 320kbps quality

The mic quality is so bad that it picks noise from the surrounding and amplifies it when on a call

The sound quality is fine (perhaps even good) for the environment I'm in

The sound quality is just fine, although the noise cancelling seems to reduce the crispness a little, a small price to pay for quiet.

When NC is turned up all the way, the mic quality for the other party to hear you on the other end is poor

Unbelievable sound quality, comfortable fit..

Both sound quality and NC are good with mine, the only problem is the battery went from 60% to dead within one hour, this has happened twice since I got it from last week

Sadly (in my opinion) the sound quality was nowhere near good enough to make this worth how much it costs

Unbelievable sound quality, comfortable fit..

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!I had been waiting for this wireless version since June 2016.-Mic is terrible (poor quality

Simply amazing quality throughout

The headphone quality of qc20 is way better than qc30.

I see that not only its waste of money , poor quality in every aspects.

The good:- Sound quality is great

and I really like the sound quality and signature of this wireless headphone

No big concerns.- Good sound quality.

-This product disconnects unexpectedly.-Battery life not as good-Sound quality is not as good as the wired version.-Noise cancellation is plain bad compared to the wired version

The sound quality is mediocre

Pros: Great sound, excellent noise cancellation , very long battery lifeCons: Absolutely terrible call quality

The most amazing part is they managed to bring the industry leading Noise Cancelling feature to these; as expected it works flawlessly and has the legendary Bose quality that I have come to expect.

First the good: The sound quality is excellent

and I did not particularly like the sound quality

Been a fan of Bose for many years despite the high prices, but releasing a pair of wireless NC earbuds with abysmal sound and quality for $300 pushes the limit of ethics

The QC 30 sound quality is really good

The neck strap is comfortable and he LOVES the sound quality!

Setting noise-cancelling to max during calls dramatically improves sound quality

But the quality of this thing is not good.

Otherwise, the sound quality is good with a deep bass

Good sound quality, but super clunky

The built quality is horrid.

Sound quality is typical Bose (decent), but noise cancellation is not nearly as good as previous models

It would have been nice if there was a pass through 3.5mm headphone jack in order to make these wired to possibly improve sound quality, or to use without needing to have them turned on

For earbuds the sound quality is very good, better than I expected

Nice sound quality and an excellent battery life

The sound quality doesn't disappoint.

Good noise cancelling and sound quality

The receiver does hear my voice, but at a terrible quality.

Sound cancelling & great sound quality

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

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

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
