Awesome Ear Buds

I have owned many earbuds, he is but the Bose noise canceling earbuds are the best! When using them on airplanes, in which I travel frequently, the noise is totally canceled out!

A healthy choice - on top of it all

Having used these for a week now, I've realized another, unexpected reason why these noise cancelling headphones are great: ear health. If you've ever stepped off the train or the plane and turned back on the audio you'd been enjoying during your trip, you'll know what I'm talking about. Getting blasted at a disturbingly loud noise level...which was necessary for even a fair listening experience. But walking down the street, working at my desk or during yard work I wouldn't dream to turn up the volume that far. I'd think it'd hurt my ears. Yet, listening to my favorite podcasts on the train or watching a movie on the plane, it has felt appropriate to crank up the volume...because I've had to.
Trading my latest-generation iPhone headphones for my new Bose headphones hasn't been physically exciting only on account of my ears. I feel as though I've also been able to listen to more of my music. Not volume, but quality! So much gets lost when the content is competing with the environment. There were gentle songs from Mendelssohn's Elias and zesty jazz tunes by Esperanza Spalding, among others, which I felt like I was now hearing "right" for the first time. For how small these headphones are, they are very powerful in portraying the music in its complexity. I always felt that the new iPhone headphones were (too) heavy on the bass sounds. My new Bose headphones seem more balanced.
Lastly, what I'll say is that these also have made clear to me by how much noise I'm surrounded throughout the day. There's that moment when the audio content is still off and I'm already turning on the noise cancellation function. It's like wearing earplugs all of a sudden, when I'm actually just wearing very comfortable earbuds. Earbuds that now can play pure stories or songs for me. All that said, there are times, in the office, for example, when it has felt self-indulgent and borderline anti-social to listen with the noise cancellation feature turned on. In those cases I tried the "aware" function to hear more of what's going on around me and it works. Having the option to concentrate and dive into whatever analysis I was working on at the time or to overhear and join conversations is what makes these earphones versatile enough to keep wearing them in either situation.
Okay, one more thing! A friend called me from across the ocean and I used the noise cancellation function during the call. It was easier to hear him and I felt like the connection was better than usual. I realized it was the earphones that did that, because at some point he remarked that the fire trucks outside my office were pretty loud on his end. And I saw them more than I heard them.

I own 2 pairs, they are just perfect for travelling, commuting, and sound is great. Much more convenient to carry everywhere than larger traditional noise-cancelling headphones. I always have a pair with me in my bag. Great work, Bose !

OMG, The Best in-ear Headphones EVER !!!!

I am a 50 year old female who has enjoyed listening to music since the 80's era when music was music. I have owned Bose products for many years. My 3 desktop computers each have Bose speakers. I have Bose mini wifi speakers and my tv has the Bose sound system. I own 3 over the ear Bose headphones and now I own these. I have ordered 3 more sets, one for my 13 years old daughter and 2 for my work office and for my carry-on luggage bag. Yes, they are expensive but Bose has always made their products with the best technology which allows us customers to enjoy music they way it is meant to be heard.

These are my road warriors.

I love these headphones, I use them everyday. They make hearing a phone call in the store or on the street so much easier to hear.
You can listen to your music or movies at a much lower volume in loud areas or on a plane.
My wife and son liked them so much they bought a pair for themselves.

Disappointed - do not stand behind their product.

I had my original noise canceling headphones for almost two years, they worked amazingly and were everything I expected them to be. Beautiful sound and great noise canceling power. BUT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO THE WIRE CLOSE TO THE NOISE CANCELLING BOX STARTED TO BREAK - I have been treating these headphones like God by the way - always putting them back into their case after use and always being super gentle, I respect and take good care of my belongings.

Great sound quality combined with active noise cancelation, convenient comfortable earbuds. These are the total package, by far my favorite headphones that I've ever owned.

Unbelievably Good

I just received these and already own the QC35's. I can tell you that I was blown away. Honestly, I'm still speechless. The sound is amazing and the ANC is on par with their larger sibling, the QC35's. One small drawback is the ANC brick and the location of it. If Bose improves on this design, I will be buying this over and over again - without any hesitation. Thank you Bose!
