“I think I had too high of an expectation of these headphones. I can still hear the rain on the skylight. I can still hear people popping gum, walking around me and opening plastic bags. I thought they canceled out the noise?”

Sorry bud, but you can notice a drastic change when you switch it on and with it off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can adjust the level of noise cancelling on the Bose connect app. Turn it on high and you won’t hear a thing outside of your music. I’m a fireman and I missed the emergency tones going off at the fire station with these headphones on. Someone had to come get me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They do cancel noise but it’s not going to reduce the noise level from 100 to 0 just because it’s noise cancelling. When it comes to relatively higher pitched noises, like people talking or the sound of plastic bags, it’s not going to be canceled out because active noise cancelling headphones in general generally block out lower, rumbling type noises like engine sounds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thanks for your question. Active noise cancelation works best on consistent noises like the drone of airplane engines. Sharp or high pitched sounds may be attenuated to some extent, but the QC35 are not designed to eliminate all sound. Best regards, -Emmet Bose Support
