Superb noise cancellation

Slim battery pack
Audio plays without power
The best noise cancellation circuitry on the market. Rich bass response and crisp highs. Comfortable
Secure fit. Works in passive mode.
Excellent noise-canceling. Aware Mode lets you hear some outside sounds at the touch of a button. Comfortable to wear. Can be used without power.
The editors didn't like
Not cheap ($299.95)
Expensive
They don't sound as good as many competing in-ear headphones in this price range
Rechargeable battery isn't replaceable.
Bulky inline mic/controller
Battery life could be better
Sound signature is very sculpted
And not for purists. Light on accessories like extra eartips
Noise-cancelation can bother some sensitive users.

If you do a lot of traveling or spend a lot of time in crowded rooms with chatty neighbors, the Bose QuietComfort 20i are easily worth the $299 for the best comfort and noise cancellation around, and they're much smaller than full-size cans such as the...

Three hundred bucks is a lot to spend on earbuds, but for frequent fliers or anyone who spends time in noisy environments, how much is too much to be able to turn off the outside world for a while and get lost in your favorite songs? Product Quiet C...

Expensive; they don't sound as good as many competing in-ear headphones in this price range; rechargeable battery isn't replaceable.
Despite some downsides, including a high price, the Bose QuietComfort 20 offers the best noise-canceling in an in-ear headphone and should tempt frequent travelers looking for a more compact alternative to a full-size NC headphone, such as the Bose Qu...

Abstract: Noise-cancelling headphones have been the top choice of frequent fliers for years, but their transition to the world of earbuds has been rather slow. To some extent this is not surprising — an active noise cancellation system requires its own power as wel...

I must admit: I'm a fan of Bose's around-ear noise-cancelling headphones. Despite their bulk, I pack the QuietComfort 2 headset and additional AAA batteries in my carry-on for all my trips — whether they're via planes, trains, or budget bus lines.I still...

The Bose QuietComfort 20 is a giant leap forward for noise cancellation earphones, and easily the most effective pair we have tested thus far....
Excellent sound; Earpieces that truly stay in place; Noise cancellation can be easily switched on and off without affecting sound quality; Flat noise cancellation box means it's very portable and easy to stow away; Rechargeable;
Short cable from the noise cancelling box is very, very short; Expensive;
Noise cancelling headphones are simply a must have when you’re catching a flight, doing their part to minimise the engine noise and just immerse you in sound, but the Bose QuietComfort 20′s do more than just give your ears a breather mid-air: they do ...

"Hands down with the noise cancelling active these prove to be the best sounding earphones I have ever had the pleasure of using."The 20i's are just exceptional overall even though I wouldn't find a real use for the “aware mode” that limits noise cancella...

Having landed in Dallas after a 15 hour flight without an ear ache, without a headache, and with a little bit of battery life left I was really happy with the way the QC20i's performed. The sound quality is great, the noise cancellation is impressive, the...
