Bose ® QuietComfort ® 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling ® Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

So, at first generally be said that the feeling whether something is good or less good sound is just subjective. Everyone feels it differently.

Generally to Bose, one can say that where sound technically always come out good things in, no matter what product, but these are all optimized for midtones. That is neither extremely high nor deep bass tones are among the strengths of Bose. So if, for example, is looking for a headphone of very strong powerful bass are by itself, is wrong with Bose. However, it has been a much better sound in all areas than cheap headphones. For extreme bass in-ear headphones are not right in my opinion, because for the driver (the buzzer in speakers) are simply too small. Since you should then engage already more likely to bow headphones.

Actually I'm from this QC20i but very enthusiastic. But where there is light, and shadow to the review but in the end more.

One of the main features of this headset is the suppression of noise that penetrate from the outside to the ears. The small rectangular casket on the cable it really in itself. First, the noise is already somewhat insulated by the use of the handset in the ear. But it still turns the electronics with a then already comes a thought: "I now have a sudden loss of hearing or that was actually the headphones?"
And here the headphones plays of his strengths. It reduces outside noise actually more than clear which does not mean that you no longer hear. This should perhaps not be so if, for example is located in the road. But you can take the subway or bus, then these headphones are just awesome. This can be very good even quieter listening to music without background noise and also for people who like to listen to audiobooks so certainly very pleased. But if you only turn on without any listening to the electronics thing, which is not bad if you want to do in a louder environment even a nap eg :)
Technically sound, the speakers are also damn good, but as I said maybe not so extremely bassy. Both silent listening and medium volume, these headphones are recommended definitely.
Well I wrote just now in silent and moderate listening levels. So why not also at high Laustärken? Now what is loud and soft, is indeed somewhere in the eye of the beholder and here perceives loudness of each other. So to look at subjectively.
And here comes the small disadvantage of the headphones. At high volumes, namely increases of the electronics. That is the sound changes constantly, depending on clock, between dull, normal and slightly distorted sounds back and forth, but is also dependent on what you hear. That is so absolutely no longer listening. Now one could if necessary turn off the electronics and simply listen as with a normal in-ear headphones. Unfortunately, so can the sound quality overall for something. The whole sounds without these electronics is no longer quite as dynamically and sounds generally somewhat flatter. It is then not exactly scary bad, but the headphones makes then little more than a cheaper headphones so the cost maybe around the 30-40 Euro.
So who likes to listen to very loud what yes indeed to the ears is not as healthy, even after prolonged use, which should these headphones do not buy.
The wearing comfort is very good though and much more convenient than in-ear headphones that you have stuck deep in the ear. The Bose headphones are plugged only begin in the ear hole, the rest make the small bow, which provide in the ear for a good grip. It also did not feel the headset. A total of three sizes of this bracket are included, the average are already pre-assembled.
This electronic box incidentally requires electricity. It is located on the side of a mini-USB port where you can connect a charging cable to charge the internal battery. Charging takes maybe so about 2 hours. Hold it does lt. Manufacturer about 16 hours. The cable is also included and has at the other end a normal USB port. Therefore, the battery can also be through any charger that has a USB port, are charged, or just directly on the PC and laptop.
So my conclusion is. The headphones are great and so perfect for me. Therefore, 5-star. Because of the above problems, the other view is certainly not that. But for me a great Bose product.
Who looks like me and do not always need the highest volume levels, which I can only recommend these headphones. It is through the good noise suppression are not always the highest volumes needed.
So, I hope I had something to contribute to the decision to purchase the headphones. All have a nice time.

06/03/2015 small addendum:
I wanted to write something about the NoiseCancelling ansich. There have so here are some written in the reviews, you can hear a noise. I can confirm that. This noise is actually there. But that is the secret of good noise suppression. Because if you want to reduce noise, it creates a back noise. Thus, the two sounds neutralize each other. You have to imagine, for example, two waves meet each other as in the water. These neutralize each other and the height of waves is reduced. That is why the headset also works so well. So this is not a shortcoming but a "feature". So in short, it should not interfere. I think that this will work similarly in almost all headphones with electronic noise suppression.
