Review: Sublime Sound - Staggering Active Noise Isolation - I bought these having left my Sony active noise isolating headphones in the lounge of an airport much to my wallets dismay. However, looking upon the bright side I figured this was a good excuse to look for new - and therefore hopefully better - solutions. Previously I've had two pairs of the Sony digital headphones which were excellent to be honest. The main disadvantage being that being over ear they are larger and therefore bigger to carry around in limited cabin baggage as well as being in the way if I nodded off during the flight. However, given previous in ear solutions which had always been a bit of a let down I stuck with them. But, as ever technology moves on and needing a replacement for my stupidly lost pair I decided to check out the reviews for in ear active noise cancelling earphones and by a country mile these Bose ones came out on top in most top ten lists. And, whilst I'm a bit sceptical of so called professional reviewers - and a slight bias against Bose which I associate with roll neck jumper wearing cobblers - the volume of positive reviews swayed me. So, here I am in possession of a swanky pair of Bose active noise cancelling headphones that in comparison to anything I've used before blows them all into the weeds. Really. Firstly, they are really comfortable to wear even on a long flight. They fit perfectly despite the ear buds being odd shaped. Clearly a well researched and considered design for the human ear. When you first push them in think that they are not secure because the pressure is so low compared to a more conventional pair of ear buds but, in fact they are very solidly in place despite the initial feeling. Sound quality is superb. Really superb for in ear items. Deep base and a great soundstage to use the poncey kind of gobbledygook used in What HiFi. Simply put I haven't heard a pair of in ear speakers sound so good full stop. Then when you switch on the noise cancelling the reason you've just shelled out 250 quid becomes clear. I tried these without any sound input when I first used them on an Airbus 321, sat behind the wings and therefore in cattle class on a budget aircraft in the noise line of the engines. Clearly it was pretty noisy where I was sat and yet as soon as I switched these on it felt as if I'd gone deaf. Honestly, almost all of the ambient sound vanished instantly. It was so startling I tried the effect three times for laughs. Once you then put on the sound from whichever thing you are using as the source the final tiny bit of external sound vanishes into the background. Its frankly, startling. So without a doubt these are fully worth the 250 quid if you travel by air regularly, because they make the whole experience slightly less miserable. Now, like all things in life there are a couple of niggles. Especially given that these are not actually resident at the cheap end of the market. Firstly, if you buy these chances are you are looking at the noise cancelling for the hell that is flying and as such if you buy these you would expect them to be geared to working with aircraft systems, In other words the weird twin plug fittings that are still in place on most aircraft. But, Bose don't supply the adaptor which means that you might buy these unknowingly and then find that once ensconced on board you can't use them. This is a bit penny pinching when you consider the upfront cost when far cheaper items come with everything you need. So factor in another fiver for the adaptor. Most of all, make sure you get one. The other slight irritation is that the carrying pouch is a bit low rent, but most of all quite small. And I can see this being a bit of a long term problem because the USB charged power supply has the cables fitted into each end of the unit and when in the pouch they are bent over quite hard which I'm sure is putting strain on the wires. I can imagine that if you regularly take them in and out of the carrying pouch and do so without being careful the long term effect could be broken wires. Overall though, for what these are made for they are superb. Best noise cancelling earphones I've ever come across.
Review: Great sound canceling, but there not perfect. - My experience. If, like me, you are buying them mainly for sound canceling, then they are the best I have tried for the in ear style of headphones. I believe the very best experience is with the over the head headphones, but I don't like them for every day use, so I haven't got them. These earbuds will not eliminate all sounds, car tires, seagulls and people talking loudly, can still be heard, but there faint and will definitely soften them, this is with just sound canceling on and no music playing. Put music on and then they can not be heard. Loud sounds like a car horn or similar levels you would still hear, which is good for safety. Speaking of safety, theres a button on the side of the volume control that lets you turn sound canceling on or off and then enhance the surrounding area sounds. This nice, mainly use it for when I am going to cross the road so I can hear better. But for the majority, there great and all continual background noises will be gone. But, there is some downsides to them. So much so that I would wonder about recommending them. That is the price, for the cost I don't know if there worth it, still unsure. On one hand, I bought them for sound canceling, and for that there great, very happy. But on the over hand, the price is high and my main problem with the headphones is the cable rub you get when walking. It drives me insane. Seriously, it is sometimes quieter for me to take the headphones out and listen to the would around me. If you are not listen to music and have the sound canceling on please be aware the loudest thing you are going to be hearing is the cable as it rubs on your clothes, hate it. If you have music on, no problems. Also, they are useless in the wind. But to be fair most earbuds are bad in the wind. My other downside would be the sound quality, it's fine. That's the problem. For high end, high cost earbuds, I expected better. I have some £40 earbuds that sound better. But like I said, there fine, just don't expect to have them sound like your in the room with the band when they play. If you are mainly after sound quality, I wouldn't recommend them. If you are mainly after sound canceling, I would. But just take into consideration the previously mentioned points. Pros • best sound canceling I have tried for earbud style of headphones. • Good build quality. Cons • High price • Sound quality is fine, but nothing special • No good in the wind • OMG! The cable rubbing sounding, I hate it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: my QC20 has got a problem on its left ear, hearing the noise under quiet mode. It's less than a year and bought from here, do you have any solutions?**
A: Sounds like a hardware problem.  You are lucky it has propped up while you are still under a year.  Don't struggle around for answers.  Get straight on to Bose directly, armed with your proof of purchase.  Tell them you want a replacement product or your money back.  And, don't take a no for an answer.  Be quick before your warranty runs out very shortly.

**Q: Should i be able to hear white noise / almost hissing sound when i use these? Don't know if the ones i have are faulty or if this is intentional!**
A: Yes, it's there in mine too, it's not even quiet to be honest, but I guess that's just how this technology works. The white inner noise masks the external noises (with great efficiency, I have to add). When I listen to music the white noise is not noticeable, so not an issue. When I'm doing my French lessons on Duolingo, it's more disturbing though. I normally put some music on to mask the white noise while I study. I choose smooth jazz which works as a great, calm, non-distractive background noise for me. Still, I wish if this level of noise-cancelling could be achieved without the hissing somehow.

**Q: what is the difference between active and acoustic noise cancellation**
A: Active noise cancellation (ANC) is the process of using a microphone to monitor environmental noise and creating anti-noise that’s then mixed in with audio playback to cancel noise entering the user’s ear.

The term “noise cancellation” embodies a number of different approaches to eliminating unwanted outside noise in order to enhance the listening experience. With so many terms, such as active noise cancellation, ambient noise cancellation, and adaptive noise cancellation, it can get confusing for an end user or system developer to determine the ideal noise-cancellation technology.


As the use of smartphones, digital assistants, and other devices for music playback move further into the mainstream, audio features like noise cancellation become more important to help ensure higher-quality audio playback and phone calls. With OEMs looking for new ways to differentiate their products and appeal to the discerning consumer, digital headsets that offer compelling noise-cancellation technology stand ready to capitalize.

The purpose of this article is to review some basics of noise cancellation, such as the differences between passive, active, and total noise cancellation, as well as compare the different noise-cancellation architectures including feed-forward, feedback, and hybrid. It will also contrast fixed filters versus the more progressive adaptive noise-cancellation approaches. 

Passive Noise Cancellation

Passive noise cancellation (Acoustic) is what the headset itself offers, whether rubber tips in an in-ear design or padding in an over-the-ear design. Very simply, it’s the amount of noise cancellation offered by the physical device, or how well the headset works as an earplug

**Q: Has anyone used these for a snorer? Need to know these would be good to sleep in and get rid of the sound before spending**
A: They help me. I only wear one in ear. The other ear is on my pillow thereby stopping most of the snore sound. The in ear bud stays in all night. I can't sleep on a bud though and my snorer isn't particularly loud as some I have been told of

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent headphones for on long haul
*by J***C on 8 March 2016*

Bought these headphones on Black/Cyber weekend 2015 for £150(!) for flying long haul, mostly Joburg, 10-11 hours overnight. Wife bought Bose over ear noise cancelling a couple of years back, and recommended them, but these were on offer, and I find over ear a bit bulky, esp. for overnight/sleeping. Three sizes of swapable plug for ear. Middle size is fine for 6ft male (how that determines ear size I have no idea), unusual design keeps them in place and sound sealed. Cuts out white noise very well. Lets in a little more deep engine rumble than I would like. You can also just about hear cabin announcements (if listening to own device) which is probably a good thing, on balance, however frustrating they might be. Certainly good enough to make conversation with cabin crew impossible, mercifully have not managed the crying baby test yet. Have also used successfully on inflight systems with twin plug converter. Sound quality is very good, but obviously dependent on source. Haven't tried with HD audio sources. Designed to work with Samsung - I have Tab S2 8in for movies and TV - but not all apps respond to full set of commands from the in-line controller. Google music and Amazon video are good, BBC iPlayer appears less responsive - volume up/down OK, but no pause/play. Having said that, I can never remember all the combinations of how many taps, whether to release or hold, etc. My (android) Google Nexus 5x also works pretty much as well as Tab S2, in terms of the controls. Without testing all android phones, I suspect it should/could be marketed as Android rather than just Samsung. On overnight flights, I tend to flip to my old iPod nano 3, and put on an album of classical piano music, to fall asleep to. The ear phones continue to shut out the (white) noise after music finishes, which I find leads to more restful sleep. The ear pieces are more than comfortable enough to sleep with for 6-8 hours. Battery life more than adequate for 11 hour flight. Recharges in a couple of hours. BTW I am still trying to work out why sometimes the Tab S2 doesn't recognise the headphones, and plays thru the speakers, a bit annoying on a plane, or train. Restarting the Tab2 without moving the headphones seems to fix the problem, so I suspect the problem may be more with the Tab2 than the Bose.
