“Is it possible to turn off the noise cancelling? I like to have noise cancelling headphones when I am on a plane, but find them to be too much if I used them at work. I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the noise cancelling to only use it when I want.”

• Yes. The headset has an external switch that may be left 'off' when you do not want the noise cancellation.

• You can...and Bose says you can listen to music. I'm going to disagree with them on this. I believe the NC and the speakers are both powered. My reasoning stems from the fact that when you turn the NC on or off, the sound also goes out for couple of seconds. When off, the sound quality is HUGELY impacted negatively! So you CAN turn it off, but it's not really worth listening any more.

• yes you can but then the sound quality diminishes very slightly becuase the bose have a built in equalizer that makes them sound even better and there design in general makes them very good at noise cancelling so even if you turn it off it will still block quite a bit of sound

• Yes- just slide the switch. They'll still work to play music (or whatever) through even with the noise cancelling turned off.
