**Q: Do these make that stethoscope sound when you hit the wires?  I know the over ear ones don't.**
A: They do. Not as much as some other in-ears I have tried, but for example more than the Bose SoundSport in ears that I have. I still prefer them to the over ear QC15/25 because they are so compact and I can sleep with them in a plane. The over ear ones will transmit sound if you lean on them when trying to sleep in a plane. I find the "stethoscope sound" to not be an issue in everyday use.

**Q: Do they work even when the battery is depleted?**
A: Hi there,The QuietComfort 20 headset does work when the battery is depleted.  Thanks for the question!

**Q: If I take this product on an international trip, can it be charged (using an appropriate adapter) with a 240 volt outlet?**
A: You can charge these headphones using any standard USB charger regardless of the voltage, they are compatible with outlets 100-240 V.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's a reason everybody says about other items, "Well, these aren't Bose, but . . ."
*by W***Y on February 12, 2021*

I wanted noise cancelling earbuds to wear at the gym to defeat the obnoxious, raucous noise the management insists on pumping through their PA system, telling me most clients love this "music." My word, music it most assuredly is not. What's on my iPod is music. And that's what I want to hear. But I couldn't with the simple earbuds I had. The noise pollution at the gym is so intrusive, there's no way I can enjoy my own music. Why do these people think it's conducive to exercise to inundate the space with that noise at an ear-splitting volume? No attempts on my part get them to change, not even to turn the volume down to a reasonable level. So . . .I went shopping for active noise cancelling units. Every review (more or less) contains the comment, "Well, these aren't Bose, but for the price, these aren't awful." I took people at their word . . . as I went through 3 other sets trying to find one that worked. Invariably, the other units made my iPod sound like it was in another room at the bottom of fish tank. There was sometimes a button I could push that would improve the sound a little, but the button sprang back as soon as I let go of it, returning me to their underwater environment. One unit didn't even include a charging cable. I didn't even plug them in before I returned them. Sure, these units were only in the $30 price range, but what good were they if they didn't work?I decided maybe there's a reason the Bose ones are the price they are. Maybe there's a reason people keep comparing every other unit on the market to Bose. I decided to find out for myself. I decided to break down & let the moths out of my wallet & spring for these.I don't do very well with earbuds. They tend to fall our of my ears easily. The Bose earbuds have little extenders that fit in the crevices of the ear & hold them securely in place without any discomfort, no matter how long I wear them. Score 1 for Bose.The first time I stuck these in my ears, I was astonished at how much the background noise was blocked out. This is without even turning on the active noise cancelling. I'd say the ear pieces by themselves block a good 80% of ambient noise. Score another 1 for Bose.And then I turned on the active noise cancelling. It was like an out-of-body experience. There's you & the music, & whoever might be around you simply isn't there. Score another 1 . . . no 1,000 for Bose.Try wearing them in the car while you're driving. You'll feel like Luke Skywalker. Suddenly your car becomes even quieter than an electric car, more like a nuclear-powered aircraft. No engine noise, no noise from other vehicles, not even any tire noise from your own car. Simply extraordinary. There's no point in even bothering to still keep score. There's no competition.The instruction manual for these says they're compatible with iPhones. There's no mention of any other brand. I recently acquired an Android phone & thought I'd give them a shot. My expectations were low. I should have known better. Plug them in. They work. Period. I don't know if the buttons do fancy things like skipping around in playlists or stop music so you can take a phone call. But for basic phone calls, they just work. You hear the other party on the line just fine. The other party hears you just fine. This is without turning on the noise cancelling. Turning on the noise cancelling has no effect on how the other party hears you, but of course it transports you to that other sound world I described above. I don't make it a habit to use the active noise cancelling for phone calls because I haven't used the unit to talk on the phone in a noisy environment. Maybe somebody else can comment on that. I would imagine if it's noisy, the other party won't hear you all that well over the background noise. Maybe the microphone is noise cancelling, too. I just can't comment on that. My take is it's more polite toward the party you're calling if you make the phone call in a quiet place.My only complaint is the carrying case. For an item this expensive, they sure give you a cheap carrying case. It's soft & about the only good thing I can say about it is it would keep the unit dust-free. Protect them it will not. I happen to have a steel-shell glasses case that I wasn't using. That is a far more appropriate place for my earbuds to live when they're hibernating. That's what Bose should have included with these: something made of steel. And they should have done that without adding to the price. These are expensive enough to warrant the inclusion of a steel carrying case.These earbuds live up to the hype. They prove you get what you pay for. My voice is not being added to the chorus of, "Well, these aren't Bose, but . . ." These ARE Bose & there's no buts about it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could only have one pair of headphones for life, it would be these
*by B***H on May 11, 2021*

I don't know if I would consider myself an audiophile, but I am always on the search for a better sound. Over the past five years I have purchased numerous headphones. If I could only keep one pair of headphones out of all my headsets, which includes the following:- JVC HA-FW01- VModa Crossfade M-100- Sennheiser HD 558- Sennheiser HD 650- Bose QuiteComfort 15- Bose QuiteComfort 35- Bose TriPort- Audio-Technia BPHS1- Sony MDR1RNCI would take the Bose QuietComfort 20, hands down.No, they do not sound the best. That award would go to the JVC HA-FW01 (with the VModa Crossfade M-100 and Sennheiser HD 650 coming in 2nd and 3rd, respectively). But they sound good enough that I enjoy listening to them as much as my other headphones, especially if I am coding and the music is background noise to help me work.Unlike most Bose noise-cancelling products, these actually sound decent with the noise cancelling off. In fact, that is how I use them 99% of the time. It is not that charging is a hassle (if I want to leave the noise cancelling on I just run a USB cable to them and they power up just fine; unlike most other Bose products these do not experience much if any interference while charging). It is that I prefer the sound without all the noise-cancelling DSP enhancements.However, if you need noise cancelling these are the best noise-cancelling headphones in Bose's lineup, for under $300. I feel they do a much better job of cancelling noise than the QC 15 or 35's. Works great if you are in an office building with a loud HVAC system or noisy computer.Next, these are the most portable headphones I have owned. Yes, I have headphones with a smaller case (e.g. the Bose TriPort) and they are always clunky to use. With these I can coil up the cord, put it in a case, and be on my way in 15-30 seconds. Easy peasy.Quality wise they are on par with other products. I have on more than one occasion gotten up from my desk, and got the cord tangled up and pulled the jack out of whatever device it is in. Never had the cord fray or break, and I am on my 3rd pair of these headphones (lost one pair commuting on a motorcycle; bought two pair more for work/home so I would not lose them during the commute). Never had any quality issues. The ear tips stay in place, unlike the Bose TriPort headphones.But the real reason I would pick these over anything else: Comfort. These are the most comfortable headphones, bar none. Even other Bose headphones pale in comparison (except the TriPort, which are equally comfortable). All over the ear headphones get sweaty eventually, and the faux leather on Bose products typically goes bad after 6 to 18 months. Never had the silicone go bad on these headphones, even after several years of 8 hour a day, 5 day a week abuse. In fact, although my JVC HA-FW01 sound better, the only way I can stand to use them for more than a few hours is by using the extra silicone ear tips that come with the QuietComfort 20 headphones.Overall, these are the headphones that stay on my desk. Other headphones come out on special occasions, or if I am listening to certain types of music. But if I am going to be wearing headphones for 8, 12, or even 16+ hours, these are the puppies I am using.Also, even though I do not use the feature, it is worth mentioning that there is a microphone built into these headphones, where the volume buttons are, and if you get a splitter jack from Bose, you can use these as a headset. I have a co-worker who does that. He sounds pretty good most of the time.
