Whats Included

Bose QuietControl 30 wireless headphones
Small and Large Tips
USB cable
Zippered carry case

Q: Where is the mic located on this unit? Does the location of the mic hinder the ability for others hearing you speak while using it during phone conversations?

A: The mic is placed on the right earbud. If you let the right earbud hang freely, it rubs against your shirt and the person you're talking to will hear loud swishing noises. If you keep the right earbud in your ear, you will have to talk loudly before the person you're talking to can hear you properly.

Q: I just bought this headphone yesterday & found a problematic issue, if I'm on the phone and put my phone in my back pocket I get very weird cracklings sound and static. When I take the phone out of my pocket than it works perfect not sure why?

A: Try shutting the earbuds off. Make sure you delete them from you Bluetooth device list on your phone. Plug the headphones into the charging wire. Make sure that the headphones are actively charging for at lease five seconds. Unplug the headphones from the charging wire. Wait at least one minute before powering on the headphones. (This should reset the earbuds). Next pair the headphones to your phone again. Hopefully this will help.

Q: Can you use them in the car with only one earpiece in? I am looking for a wireless option for my iphone 7 to replace both my Bose 20's and my bluetooth I use while driving for work.

A: Yes you can

Q: Do these ear buds comfortably fit while wearing a full face motorcycle or snowmobile helmet ?

A: They might - depending on your helmet. I would really suggest getting a Bluetooth intercom (like SENA) for your helmet. Those are great.

Q: this QC 30 is waterproof and good for swimming. thanks

A: Hello! Thank you for your interest in our products. Our QC30 headphones are made from materials specifically engineered to be comfortable and light, and are sweat- and water-resistant. They are subjected to rigorous product testing to ensure their durability. However, while these are resistant to water; prolonged exposure to water/submersion of the product can damage the headphones and is not supported or recommended. This would also result in a void of the warranty using the product this way. We hope this helps!

Q: Are they sweat resistant ? How friendly are these head phones for a work out ? Or are you better off with the soundsport model?

A: I wouldn't recommend for workouts. I'm on my second pair as I returned the first. The volume button goes into auto down after half an hour or so of sweating. Same when hiking. They're brilliant when travelling etc, just don't get em wet...

Q: Are these headphones compatible with Windows as well as Android and IOS?

A: Please review your owner's manual. They are Bluetooth.

Q: I understand sound will be heard from both left and right ear sets when listening to music but when answering a phone call, will sound be heard on both left and right as well or only one side? If only one earphone can be heard, which side?

A: Phone calls are through both sides in this model. Very clear, and the noise cancellation makes hearing the other party even easier.

Absolute Trash! Do not buy this item!
After doing a lot of research, I elected to buy these because 1) they're wireless and 2) they're noise canceling. Being that they were BOSE, I elected not to get the Best Buy Warranty. I've known that BOSE provides great product support and warranty replacement for some time. What an epic mistake that was! For the first month or so, I was very pleased with the product. Then things started going down hill. The rubberized coating that covers the electronics started to get stretched out around the power button. Soon, the entire covering started coming apart at the seems. The coating on the other side started coming apart as well, so it seems they did not choose a good material for covering these. Eventually, it stretched out so much that I couldn't turn the power on/off. I was past the return date for Best Buy, so I checked with BOSE and they provide NO WARRANTY for any product that isn't purchased directly from them. So now I had a $300 paperweight! Ugh... Seeing I had no ability to return them and BOSE wasn't going to do anything about them, I figured I'd try and I was able to pull the rubber coating back far enough that I could reach the underlying power button, so for a few weeks, I used them in that capacity. Within a few weeks of that, I started hearing static and popping in the left speaker. Initially, it got better if I wiggled the cord, so I assume there was an issue with the wires or their connection. Eventually, wiggling the cord didn't work any longer, so they became completely unusable. I got to use these for approximately 2.5 months before they became completely unusable. I have since searched online and found a very long thread on the BOSE community web site where numerous people have reported this same issue as far back as 2017. BOSE is aware of the issue, yet they are still allowing this product to be sold. It should have been pulled off the shelves long ago. SMH... I won't be trusting the BOSE name anymore. I can't post a link to the BOSE community discussion around this issue, but if you search Google for "Rubber-Cover-on-QuietControl-30", you will find it.

Great pair to go all day
Grabbed these back when they first dropped and true wireless was not as good then to go as an all day driver but when they messed up I took back and got some true wireless buds. At first the true wireless were good but if you wear all day it gets rather stressful on your ears but I love these cause the weight is not on your ears and they a plus cause you can just drop and the wire holds safe, no worries of dropping or losing. I wear all day at work which is great as they also work as ear muffs with noise cancellation, so knocks out one less item to add to work cart. Highly recommend these. There is a chance of the rubber body falling apart as my first set did but it worth the risk. Sound is amazing too with that Bose sound, tho I am a fan of the Master and Dynamic sounds these are a close enough soundstage to not miss them that much. Woulda been nice to have some haptic feature as sometimes I get calls but miss as I don’t hear my phone and buds are out of my ear. Still a great set which I do prefer.

Comfortable & Good noise reduction
The earbuds were very comfortable and fits very well in the war. The sound quality is great, the noise reduction is very good also. So far this is my favorite ear phone to date.
