Q: Are they good for transcription?

A: Hello there. Thank you for the question. It's always great to hear from our long time customers such as yourself. The QuietComfort 20 headphones are designed to deliver excellent sound quality for music or voice with rich deep bass and clear highs. The StayHear tips are designed to hold the earbuds securely in your ear while also being extremely comfortable.

Q: I ride motorcycle and want to listen to xm radio through earbuds. I like Bose, will any of their earbuds (must be wired to plug into XM radio) allow me to control volumn on the ear buds?

A: I have a subscription to SiriusXM as well. If you have these (iPhone version) headphones, just download the SiriusXM app to your phone. Log into your SiriusXM account and listen to your SiriusXM music via your phone and the app. Then when you use these earbuds, you can control the volume from the buttons on the cable, while your phone is in your pocket or stowed away.

Q: Is this compatible Android devices?

A: Hello Zhechen, The 20i is for Apple products. Get the standard Quietcomfort 20.

Q: can this be used with a smart Samsung tv? If so, how do you connect?

A: As long as the TV has a headphone output, you could connect the QC20 headphones. For assistance with connecting, please call our technical support team at 800-380-4831. Thanks!

Q: Are these good for running? I am replacing powerbeats earbuds. I like that they are over the ear b/c regular earbuds fall out. These look like they'd stay put. I also need for traveling and talking on phone. Are these a good alternative to the powerbeats?

A: These are incredibly secure in the ear. Part of the noise cancelling ability these have is not only the active power noise cancelling, but also that these completely fill your ear canal and act much like a plug to prevent noise from entering. I love these, and if I had any complaint is that they are so tight and secure inside the ear canal that my ears can start to get a bit sore after wearing them a long time. I do not run, but I travel a lot with them. On and off airplanes, gathering luggage, on and off shuttle busses, rental cars etc - all while wearing them and have never felt like they would fall out at all.

Q: I have IPhone but my computer is windows system. I was wondering if I should choose the iOS version or Android ?

A: The microphone and buttons on the headphones are designed for smartphone use. For that reason, we would recommend the Apple version for your needs.

Q: Why can I not purchase these earbuds?

A: Then you should be on the phone with 1-888-BEST-BUY to discuss your experience.
