    Customers have mixed opinions about the performance of the headphones. Some mention that they work well enough for them, while others say that they are failing. They say that the noise cancellation is not very effective at all, and the headphones stopped working for no apparent reason.

    94 customers mention41 positive53 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the headphones. Some mention that it's super convenient to switch between phone and the app makes it easy to pair and switch between devices.

For example, some complain that there is a button that is somewhat difficult to press, while others say that the whole control is awkward to operate.

    "...The button is small and somewhat difficult to click. There are two very small, almost pin hole like, color LEDs next to the button...." Read more

    "...volume, noise cancelling, play/pause are easily available and easy to find on the base just by running your fingers along the base until you find..." Read more

    "...adjustment incorporated in the same control make the whole control awkward to use because you have to feel for the correct controls to use...." Read more

    "...easily connects to iPhone and iPad. didn't really have much issues with connectivity except with my laptop ( see below )...." Read more

    91 customers mention11 positive80 negative

    Customers are not satisfied with the stability of the headphones. For example, they mention that the collar manages to drift to one side, the neckband tends to slide one way or the other if they're being active, and the silicone in-ear piece has a habit of falling off. The earbuds keep falling out, and due to the base of the QC 30 constantly rotating around their neck, the ear buds just dangle.

    "...After several adjustments to make them straight again, they consistently shifted, but didn’t move up any further from one point...." Read more

    "...These headphones need a total redesign. They constantly turn on your neck. The earbuds dangle all over the place when you take them out of your ears...." Read more

    "...but even on the airplane, in a sitting position the collar manages to drift to one side to the point I'm self conscious of it when I'm mobile..." Read more

    "...If they sit outside the ear they fall out. If I stick it in like a "normal" bud then it hurts like crazy...." Read more

    Bose quality sound, with engineered problems makes this ultimately not a keeper unless money is not a concern to you
    At $300, the most expensive around the neck bluetooth headset, there's an expectation of near perfection which this product doesn't have.The good:- Sound quality is great. Great as in lots of base which is what Bose EQ is known for...while still doing well at the the mid and high tones.- When noise cancellation is turned up, it also is doing noise cancellation on the mic for the person you're talking to...and doing it pretty well.- Once Bose went to the in-ear with extra noise baffle, it does a good job at reducing noise in addition to the extra tech that also does noise reduction.The Bad:- The around the neck is almost equally proportioned in it's design. It's counting on it's rubberized material to be sticky enough not to twist around (which it's constantly doing). Any around the neck needs to have a shape that allows gravity to help keep heavier weighted areas in the lowest position (eg LG Tone Ultra). See pic on how it's constantly spinning.- The earphones can't be attached to the neckband, which means they're constantly dangling/catching on things. Magnetic clipping to the ends would alleviate this problem, but would already increase the size of these large ear accessories.- No fast forward/reverse buttons- The primary microphone is in the right earbud, which means if you are wanting to just one-ear it, you have to do the right ear or risk having the mic constantly having scratching noise from it rubbing against shirt/chest.Long term concerns:- Since the earphones are always dangling, I'd expect with long term use I'm going to loose more than one ear mold getting caught and popping off.- Having owned 3 other Bose over-ear Quietcomfort headsets (which all have had earpad and headpad deterioration of materials after 2 years), I know they have their industrial design honed for 2-3 year material breakdown. I'm concerned that the rubber used will start becoming sticky and intolerable after 1-2 years of use (like my Bose SoundSports have become).- I have right ear hearing damage from using a Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 for podcast/music listening at too high a volume (trying to use it in too noisy environments), so I am very careful now with volume and single ear use. When doing voice audio content (podcasts/audio books etc) I specifically always use both ears to make sure I don't turn the volume too loud and cause hearing damage. A good note is I've been able to keep the volume at a lower level than my other headsets, so I don't think I have to worry too much.Noise Cancellation Notes:I came with the expectation of similar noise cancellation as my QuietComfort headsets. You could turn it off (and hear whatever ambient noise comes thru), or you could turn it on (it does it's best to eliminate all background noise period). That is not how the noise cancellation works with these (and ultimately why the battery life of the QC30 is as short as it is). When the headset it powered on, the headphones are constantly outputting sound. Using the Bose app, what you're adjusting with more/less noise cancellation is the amount of sound that is either relayed from the mic thru the headphones, or how much external noise is cancelled by the headphones. Why I say this, is because if you turn off all noise cancellation thru the app, you can hear everything around you like you didn't have any earphones in. However if you power down the headphones, you get the natural noise reduction of having an in-ear headphone occluding external noise.I think this is a conscious engineering choice, and serves two purposes:1) It makes the "noise cancelling" feature seem more impressive as you adjust it's level up and down2) Technically I think they designed the headset to be worn 100% of the time, and adjusting the noise cancellation level using the two dedicated buttons when the situation around you is you're talking with someone, or when you want to block out as much as possible all external noise.I think this decision is flawed for several reasons:1) It's quicker/easier to just pull the earphones out rather than spend the 4-6 seconds constantly adjusting the noise cancellation amount up/down based on the situation2) Designing earphones for 8-12hr regular usage is fundamentally flawed. If you were trying to leave noise cancellation up, you are going to be affecting your hearing long-term. You also get what I'd call "ear fatigue" because having the noise cancellation enabled for 2-3hrs, then taking them off you can feel a difference, and your ears adjust/recover from the noise cancellation experience. 8+hrs of constant earphone use is not productive and ultimately fatiguing: Why I love the around the neck design is precisely that I CAN remove the earphones when not in active use quickly and easily, and put them back in when you need them. The engineering choices of this headset work against this use case.At $150, I might consider putting up with it's flaws for the sound quality or without knowing ultimately because of materials/use I'm probably only going to get 2, maybe 3 years use out of them...but ended up sending them back in the end. The search continues for the best around the neck bluetooth headset.
