+Bass +Noise Cancellation +Soundsport compatible
||Posted .Compared to my 3 year old wired soundsport with one ear working (which still sounds pretty good imo) the bass on the QC20s is much higher. There’s not too much sound leakage so I can listen louder without worrying about people hearing my earbuds leak. The noise cancellation is great even when I’m using my old soundsport wingtips (which are compatible with these) that don’t directly clog up your ear canal like everything else. It’s definitely an upgrade or my old ones just deteriorated, because on the QC20s I can hear parts of the music that I can’t hear on my soundsports. The cord on the QC20 is a bit thicker than the Soundsports except for the small cord that connects the power source to the aux. That part kinda scares me so I’ll treat it with care. Probably not my preference to have the little brick thing lugging around but it’s what makes these earbuds sound like headphones. You can opt to use the earbuds with the brick thing turned off but it’ll just sound like cheap earbuds. Overall though, great upgrade and probably the best currently made wired earbuds for me, especially since I can use my old wingtips on them.

Good sound
||Posted .This head phones have a good sound quality, but it is much better at noise cancelling Although I would make some changes and make it more rugged and the connections at the components somehow stronger because they are the weak points to this headphones. And they create sound failures and breakage and ripping points.

DEFECTIVE ITEM & HIGH PRICE
||Posted .I bought these on January 9, 2018. Extremely careful use. Last month the plastic cover start to come off as you can see in the pictures. I can't believe this from Böse. I'll try to return them as a defective item.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.These things are amazing. Expensive. But amazing. So far, I've used them on two long haul overseas flights and a handful of commuter train rides. It's really almost spooky when you put them in and then flip on the switch. When I first did this I kept flipping the power on and off to just be blown away by the difference. As advertised, they don't cut out everything from the outside. There are some frequencies - I suppose - that just don't get wholly blocked. Still, this is one of those things I wished I'd just bitten the bullet and gotten long ago. I like the corded option for this as opposed to the wireless for no other reason then you need the plug for use on airlines. If it was just being used on my various iStuff, I'd probably have opted for the wireless. My only concerns about this thing are as follows: * I'd seen reviews - which I can understand - that are concerned about longevity of the cord connection. There's no real way I can judge this yet, but it does seem a bit odd how close the battery/control portion is to the plug. When it's plugged into a device, it potentially hangs in a way that causes pressure to the plug and I can see where over time, this could cause wear or a cord break. Similarly, when plugged in to an airliner headset jack, it hangs down a bit. There may have been little other choice as if it was higher up it would maybe pull on the ear pieces, but it's something to take care with. Still, I'm giving 5 stars because those are just concerns to treat this thing with a little bit of care, but it totally gets the job done. * The earbuds do take getting used to. Due to the design - which does work very well for keeping them in - you do have to get used to which way to put them in. (As opposed to simple round ear buds.) But I'm getting used to that and in the end, they're better in that they stay put better than others. It's just something to get used to is all.

Fits great, sounds good, long battery life!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.They have a good feel and I can wear them all day if need be. I use these primarily for work. I wanted something that was good quality but also was easy on the ears with fit. These come with three different size silicon earbud fitters. I had to mess with them a bit to find my right fit, but once I did, they fit like a glove. I can go an entire 8 hour work day with them on a charged battery. Most days, I get off work and immediately plug them in to charge. However, sometimes I forget and I can make it at least 2 8-hour work days with these. I work from home and these can handle the large number of zoom calls and other things that will drain the battery. Definitely a good buy!

Q: QuestionWhats the difference between these qc20i and the newer version qc20 (ios) ?
Asked by thesaneguy.
- A:Answer If you get the QC20, it comes with one control button to answer a call, end a call, start the music or stop the music. The QC20i comes with 3 control buttons (for iOS devices) which performs everything its more generic brother does but the additional 2 buttons perform skip and rewind.
Answered by Joel
Q: QuestionSince there only seems to be the Bose QC20 (no longer the QC20i) - is there a real difference between the ones listed for Apple products and the ones listed for Android - I use both Apple and Android devices - does it make a difference?
Asked by Jamu.
- A:Answer It does. The version that matches your devise allows you to control the volume, play/pause, etc from the little control on the headphones. If you have the incompatible device, you can still hear the music and the noise cancelling works, you just can't use the control on the cord to adjust volume and such.

Q: QuestionDo they have good bass ???
Asked by Bob.
- A:Answer Yes. It is a balanced base for serious music lovers. If you like "Beats" which are nothing better than cheap headphones with pumped up base you will be disappointed. BUT if you want true balanced and full sound you will love them.
