Expensive But Excellent
I use these headphones every day- while walking to work, I do not use the noise-cancelling feature so that I can hear cars and at work, the noise cancelling helps muffle the sound of loud co-workers. They are comfortable, the sound is great and they pack easily. I love that the sound control and mic is easily visible and cannot think of anything I would change.

Incredible Clarity
I like my music, and I also have a large number of online training classes I take as required by my job. The clarity of these In-Ear Headphones is awesome, and when I turn on the Noise-Cancelling feature WOW what a difference! Now that I've got them, I wish I had bought them sooner. The only negative is that they don't ship with a wall charger included.

Finally bought what I wanted.
In the beginning of 2016 these earphones were $299 which was too much money although I knew the sound was the best. Sometime during the year they went to $249 and around Black Friday I received an advertisement that the price was $199. I bought them immediately and I am very happy I now have the Bose QC 20 earphones. Their sound is definitely superior.

Great sound and functionality
I use them on airplanes, on subways, and my wife uses them (borrows them!) in the car while I'm driving. They knock out the background noise, handle music and conversation well, and people on the phone tend to thank me when I use them because the mic is better than that on the iPhone. A bit pricey, but I don't have to buy them often. Good purchase.

Amazing In-Ear Headphones
This is the best noise cancellation earbuds that I try. I worry about the durability because many people talk about its quality, and I agree with it. The product cable seems easy to break. However, when you try the noise cancellation function, you will experience the new world. P.S: I'm still afraid of breaking this product because of the price.

Best gadget EVER
This headphones is the most precious piece of technology I have. I use it: during flight, bus travels, bike ridings, crowded city walks, in my home when my two daughters are yelling around... And as I am photographer in parties, I use this to avoid losing audition due to extremely loud music. I doubted when bought it but thank universe I did.

Exceeded Expectations
I switched from standard noise canceling headphones and was unsure about whether or not these would be comfortable enough or whether they would work well at noise cancellation. I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is great and the noise canceling is as good or better than my old on ear headphones. A worthwhile purchase for travel.

Best In-Ear Noise Cancelling headphones.
I have been a fan of Bose since. I have their over ear noise cancelling headphones before & I loved it. I would still be using it if only it didn't got all too worn out. This one has really impressed me. It could have been better if it weren't too bulky with the noise cancelling module but the secure hear tips is a plus.

Great Noise Cancelation in Small Package
I had the QC-15 over ear phones and the NC worked well. I recently had to replace them (sadly due to theft) and decided to try the in ear version. Boy was I surprised. The NC actually is superior to the QC-15s. The sound quality is just average but in combination with the NC, they can't be beat, esp for in ear phones.

Good solution for travel
These ear buds are pretty easy to adapt to and cancel out plenty of ambient noise, despite the fact that they are in ear rather than over the ear buds. They also make it very easy to listen to a movie on a plane. They also pack up nicely into a small pouch that is travel friendly. I'm happy with the purchase.

Good for airplane flights
I bought these to replace a set of over the ear noise-cancelling earphones that I used on long airplane flights. Like all earbuds, I don't find these totally comfortable, and I find the noise cancellation just adequate. But the considerable savings in size makes these preferable to full sized alternatives.

Very good at canceling noise, not so good at capturing it
The Bose QuietComfort 20 is very good at canceling noise, even the variable noise of a noisy office. But, although it has a microphone, it does not pick up your speech very well or isolate it from the background, so it is almost unusable for conversing on a phone or a softphone in a noisy environment.

Awesome Headphones
Does exactly what they advertise. Used to use the big bulky Bose noise cancelling headphones. I'd say the quality is equal or a little better on these buds.They're extremely comfortable and portable which is awesome.I wish it were a little cheaper, but heck, I suppose you're paying for the quality.

Great headset
I use a headset most of the day, at office, travelling, etc. This is the best set I have owned so far. Noise canceling is great and the aware mode is very useful. I like the fit, not over or in ear. Just wish that the box at the end of cable was smaller and lighter, but can live with it.

Love these Headphones
The noise cancellation is terrific. I was concerned that they wouldn't stand the test of bus and NYC street noise, but they rock. slightly concerned about the jack that plugs into my iphone/ipad that it may wear out, but so far so good. Worth the extra money and i am very happy with them

Great Noise Cancellation, So-So Sound Quality
Purchase these for noise cancellation, not sound quality. Very boomy/muddy bass, too bass-forward which veils mids and highs. I purchased these mostly for engine noise mitigation on long-haul flights which of course these excel at. If you don't need noise cancellation, look elsewhere.

Excellent Headphones
Really blocks out the noise of New York City while amplifying the quality of sound of every podcast, song, and audiobook I listen to. Doesn't provide absolute noise cancellation but does a pretty darn good job. The control piece attached to the chord is awkwardly placed for iphones.

Great Buds
The buds fit comfortably and seal well, providing good passive filtering. After turning on the active noise reduction, most ambient sounds are removed. They work so well that my wife has banned me from wearing them in the house. Apparently I cannot here her when she talks to me.

I think they're really good
I use these in airports, in the office... Heavy user. Works great for conference calls, or needing to look like you're on a conference call. I think the noise reduction is good and you can leave them in when you sleep on a plane. So pretty versatile all around... a nice product.

The next generation
I've been using the same sound-canceling headphones for about 10 years and just bought these on a whim. Wow, what a difference. I flew 3 separate 7+ hour flights in a week and my ears are loving the new system. No buzz; no background chatter. Small and easy to carry as well.

I would buy again!
Comfortable and an incredible sound. If you do not like earbud inserts and want a comfortable compact set of headphones which are easy to store and carry, these are the best. The noise cancelling works fantastic and the sound quality is unsurpassed for this type of design.

Great Sound and Convenience
These little headphones kill the drone of an airplane as well as my over-the-ear model. But their compact size is what sets them apart - they fit easily in your purse, briefcase, or pocket. The only downside is the price (hence the loss of one star). Highly recommended.

Great sound but didn't hold up
I really like these but they are not made to last as other reviewers have noted. Mine developed an intermittent short that caused a lot of static. It is out of warranty and Bose wants nearly $200 to replace it. Great deal for Bose, not so great for the customer.

Great headphones
I bought these primarily for air travel. So far I'm delighted with the noise canceling and audio qualities. The power unit for the noise canceling takes some getting used to, however it's not too cumbersome and is a small price to pay for the audio quality
