Bose QuietComfort 20 (review): Expensive, but the best noise-canceling in-ear headphone

 

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 full-size NC headphones.

Expensive; they don't sound as good as many competing in-ear headphones in this price range; rechargeable battery isn't replaceable.

Bose QuietComfort 20

 

The Bose QuietComfort 20 is a giant leap forward for noise cancellation earphones, and easily the most effective pair we have tested thus far.

The best noise cancellation circuitry on the market. Rich bass response and crisp highs. Comfortable, secure fit. Works in passive mode.

Sound signature is very sculpted, and not for purists. Light on accessories like extra eartips.

PerformanceBefore we discuss the audio performance itself, let's talk about the noise cancellation. Bose's QuietComfort series has always been at the top of this category, constantly appearing to be one step ahead of the competition. Well, the QC20...

Bose QuietComfort 20i Review

 

Supreme comfort and stellar anti-noise make the Bose QuietComfort 20i the noise-cancelling earbuds to beat. Read our full review.

Superb noise cancellation ; Extremely comfortable and stable fit ; Slim battery pack ; Audio plays without power

Expensive ; Bulky inline mic/controller ; Battery life could be better

or Bose QuietComfort 15. The B&W C5 ($179) and Klipsch X4i ($149) offer more accurate sound but only have passive noise isolation. Overall, the QC20i are hands-down the most comfortable and most powerful noise-canceling earbuds on the market.

The Best Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

 

After researching and testing two dozen pairs, we think the Bose QuietComfort 20 are the best in-ear noise-cancelling headphones for most people.

The Bose QuietComfort 20 cancels far more noise than the competition. In addition, it’s well-built, and for most people it’s an exceptionally comfortable pair of headphones. The sound is only average, but the superb NC ability more than makes up for...

Bose QuietComfort 20i Review

 

While the over-the-ear and on-ear noise canceling headphones are fairly common, and popular, the in-canal variety are rare. This is mostly because there haven't been too many of such earphones till now. The Bose QC20i is a rather neat option for you,...

Excellent noise cancellation, In-line battery & circuit compartment is fairly sleek, Adequate bass response, Vocals are handled well, Comfortable tips suit long listening sessions

Not meant for bass addicts, Expensive

Review: Bose QC20i noise-cancelling headphones

 

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 […]

The sound quality of the QC20s is good to very good. The fit was not ideal for me, but after deciding on the right silicone ear pieces and getting used to the way they sit, I found the QC20′s oversized earbuds to be comfortable and well-suited to...
