Very nice video. Quality increases each time. I like that you cover all possible questions or concerns and support your opinions. Awesome backdrop!
*Bose QuietComfort 20 headphones review:* goo.gl/3rVBjs
The Bose QuietComfort 20 in-ear headphones are Bose’s first pair of noise cancelling in-ears, but how well do they fare? Join us as we go ears-on to find out!
next time, includes the price of the earpiece
Bose are king for sure. Love em
Nah nah you haven't felt comfort until have tried on the wireless Astro A38 for $120 ✌😀
Def too steep in the price though. Quality is like no other though
Sean Dambrosio Absolutely agree - I'm sure they are fantastic, and the noise cancelling features sound impressive - but all ear buds have a limited use life, and that's just too much money for something that will last maybe 2 years tops. I'd happily pay half that for a good set of buds, but not more.
Bose is popular because it offers outstanding build quality, comfort, and sound quality that doesn't disappoint. People hate it because of its price but in terms of value, you won't regret buying them.
S A G E true true
Thank you. Realize that these kinds of headphones are for those who's main priority is to be able to focus. This means comfort and noise cancellation are the top priorities. Everything else is simply a plus. This is why, if I had one of these channels, Bose would always win over the popular Sony headphones of the same price point. I tried them on at a Best Buy, and instantly I could tell that the ear cups are tighter, and have less breatheability.
THESE IS FACTS.
Try them both on for yourself, and see.
The engineering is great, but it was not designed to last long. I've had issue with control buttons malfunction and they replaced it. They are broken again for the exact reason but now out of warranty. If you never had to go through their customer service, then you are very lucky. Otherwise, it's every customer's nightmare when you were told "It's not our problem. You used it wrong!".
I love these! They have the absolute best noise cancelling i've ever experienced, they're extremely comfortable and the sound is literally amazing for some earbuds
This all makes up for the high price
An excellent review. Just bought a pair!
Amazing review, thanks ! Just bought them ;)
Great in ear phones ever for me. I have bought Bose in ear phones since there early models, yes base is done a bit, but the noise cancelation works great for my bad ears. They may not be the best sounding, there earlier version sounded better, especially the surround sound like effect , missing in this model. But to me, they are great for what they do, looking forward to future models in the near future. This is my 5 pair to own, only problem I had was the right side ear plug can a part, nothing was broke, just broke in half, but like Bose, they gave me a replacement in about a week.
This was a great review. Thank you!
Nice review. I like your new style.
Great video, very informative. Exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for representing Detroit man!
Great concise & informative review.
Good review, thank you. 😊
Great review thanks
Excellent review, thanks!
Really great review!!! Thank you!!!!
Kevin,
Can you Compare the Bose QC20 2nd gen. versus Bose QC30, QC35, Sony and Senhheiser?
Especially comparing; Music (bass, and treble) sound, call quality, Wind Noise, popping sounds, ANC quality, volume.
Hello there :-) Question: the QC25 do an excellent job when it comes to noise cancelling, except when it comes to voices, do these perform better in that regard? Thanks :-)
Enjoyed your review
really enjoyed this video!
Great detailed review..
Hi,
I really want to buy a good a earphone and yes your reviews make my life much easier. However now I am confused between Bose QC 20 and B&O H3 ANC. Your views on them might make me choose better product.
Anyone know how to use the microphone? I used this while playing ps4 but noone can hear me
Are there any other earbuds with same noise cancelling function?
Only downside to this as I see right now is the control module. If it was only smaller and possible a more cylindrical shape and not so close to your device, it would be easier to manage. I do love the stay in ear tips. I have the old IE2's and never has it fallen out when doing trails on my MTB or other workouts. Especially in cold weather. Good review.
What is it like to walk around with the battery in your pocket?
Michael Belloni you really get used to it, it's only annoying when you have to hold your phone with the headphones on
After 4 years this earphone is still the best bang for your bucks (heavily discounted ofc)
Where can I buy?
nice review, but could you compare it to the JBL J33i
Honestly, Bose has the best sound together with sennheiser. You can't go wrong with both.
I bought Bose AE2i for the comfort and sound and I love it!!
And if you want a cheaper alternative to these Bose qc20, check out Bose Mie2 with excellent fit and comfort but no noise isolation.
Would anyone recommend them still? I found one for $109 on eBay and I wanna know how good is the noise cancellation?
ABMTV fantastic
ABMTV You found these on best buy for 109 !!?
I enjoy my sie2's but really want these..
After 3 years of using this, i still prefer to keep this baby rather than switching to Note 10+ (going to S10+)
Why not try out sennheiser's IE series ear buds like the ie 8 ie 80 or the ie 800 whichever is in your Price range they I'm pretty sure you'all love their sound
I am currently trying to replace mine. They are the best for sleeping on flights. super comfortable.
so what happens when the android version is plugged into my imac or ipad? Is it really a big deal?
or vise versa iphone version plugged into my samsung phone?
Thanks
+MsAshleighChanel At least the Remote Control's volume control won't work.
Good review! I have a question for you... I ride a fairly loud Harley with a 1/2 shell helmet. I like to listen to my Iphone as I ride but the problems I have are that 1) the Apple headphones are constantly being forced out of my ears by the wind and 2) I can barely hear the music over top of the wind noise. Do you think these headphones would be a solution?
you need the sport ones Bose made noise cancelling sport earphones you need those
Noise canceling headphones while driving or riding a motorcycle is probably not a great idea. I think you'd be better off with something from Etymotic (or similar) which are isolating, but not canceling, and insert into your ear like an ear plug.
beri232 maybe you should take a look at bone conduction earphones this leaves your ears open for awareness and block wind noise cyclists use them...
Got mine on Amazon has the best price at the moment www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfortss-Acoustic-Cancelling-Headphonses/dp/B00X9KV0HU/?tag=techjok-20
Nice review Kevin! But for 300 dollars I prefer getting 2 Jaybird Bluebuds X
Wondering why Bose stop to do them. :(
We have to team up and do something about it.
Any chance you can try the bowers & wilkins P7
Best earbud in the world 🌍 I’m from kuwait 🇰🇼
meaning when the lithium battery wears out and stops charging, no more noise cancellation.
Say what you want about the price.
I have had the QC20i since August and I must be a moron according to you. The price tag is justified for me because I have never had earphones that could be put in my ears as good as the QC20i. The sound quality is very good so is the noice cancelling of course. If anyone of you intend to buy a pair; I strongly advice you to get the QC20i for the extra buttons, whether you can use them or not. You never know when you might come across an iProduct.
hello, are these headphones compatible with my Macbook Air ??? Please help!
They sell both an Apple version and an Android version.
Kevin great review. I'm sure they're good but not worth $300 good. I'll stick to my jaybird half the price and no bulky add-on. If you haven't reviewed they jaybird ear buds check them out.
fchagim2 yes they are believe me
Can you turn up the bass somehow ? I hate it when the bass is missing.
The noise cancelation features blasts up the bass.
why is the sound so bad if use them for the pc? on the phone everything is perfect but on the pc the sound is bad and low, help pls!
You might have bad amplifier inside your computer
Who's that guy you always shoot in your videos?
Nice
review cheaper sets?
Love the fact you shot this in the D.
I love my city.
Kevin Nether do you still do reviews for XDA?
***** Nope. I left in October.
hope to see the some of the same type of videos. wanted to know if you think the klipsch S2 is up to par with the QC20?
***** wish I could tell you. Never used the s2. We will be working in comparisons soon though. Budget headphones and expensive ones
I think the QC20's are too expensive for the product. I rather just get the MIE2's. They may not be noise cancelling but they work for my daily use. Compare the two to see which one you prefer and the price ranges are a huge difference
Good warrenty. ^^
I have bad feedback noise in the right side ear bud, screaches
how do you think of sound comparison vs beats wireless studio?
Beats have fantastic bas but maybe too much base. I prefer these over beats
Peter Pettigrew beats have near nothing on these beats are meant for bass heavy songs and in my mind awful for the price of these and beats these are 10x better
surprisingly Android version even works on Macbook laptop
I'm not sure if his neck is too short or his shoulders are too high.
Get a life!
Lets block David Cyrus!
So what are the best inphone earphones??????????
simsalamia these ones
Disintegrating Earbuds, I cannot post any pics here. But I have a pair. In 4 years they were coming apart after using about 160 hours a year. long haul international flights. Not used at home or outdoors or anything like that. Oh yes they are great at noise cancellation but I don't think I should replace something that I should last much longer. Just go to Amazon and look up the reviews there.
You know what we need?
Noise reduction works by software and with help of a mic.
A app with noise reduction software would be awesome!
That way all headphones with mic can get noise reduction.
***** but its exclusive to their special ear buds.
it would be extremely difficult to pull it off well, as the "anti-sound" needs to be perfectly timed to be exactly out of phase with the unwanted noise and different drivers and earphones may have a slightly different delay from when signals are sent to when they are played that needs to be accouted for and it might not work well depending on how far the mic is from your ears.
It can't be digital on the phone. There would be too much delay in the signal inversion, and you would need a microphone outside of the ear cups to be truly effective.
Not how the world works buddy. To get what you want, when you want it, it will always come with a high cost.

why is there no MUTE button for the mic?...
+SuFx S There is a Pause/Play button between the Volume + and Volume - buttons.
Have you tried while working out?
Nah - The control module thing would get in the way, I'm sure.
ok thanks! Kevin Nether
I don't know why they didn't add the volume control to QC20 for android :(
+wdoncare Depends on the model of phone.
+wdoncare Bose QC20 Android 2nd version has volume control, but only guaranteed to work on the Samsung Galaxy phones, but it worked on the Moto G 3rd Gem. 2015, XT1541, UK. Should also work on XT1541, USA, and XT1550, India's version.
+Joe Black The volume control works to the device electronically, not as a physical volume control. If you want an inline volume control check Radio Shack online. The reason for not making an inline volume control would be it's a moving part and prone to failure. At least that's my guess.
It may depend on which phone you are using which I have forgotten about.
If you know somebody that uses, for example, the USA Moto G 3rd Gen 2015's version which I think that the model number may be called XT1540 to see if it works with it.
If it does work it won't help you but if you can download Marshmallow 6.0 down to your phone it may solve the incompatible problems because Lenovo's Motorola's forum stated that it does with the Moto G3rd Gen UK's XT1541 version.
In your position, I would ask BOSE and the name of the manufacturer who made your phone.
wdoncare they did in the new version
i bought earphones for £10 that had a better sound quality than these ones (my dad bought the bose ones a while ago). Noise cancellation is the good thing about it tho
It worked for 3 years and now they are done🙄
whats with only reviewing BOSE stuff? That stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment.
U JELLY BRO?
Yes sir
It's sad how you can't remove the module after its dies
They do that because they know after the battery dies after 2 years or so, BOSE will have a new model out for you to buy.
You can replace the battery ,it is not an easy job but it is possible .The battery can be found on ebay .
Downtown Detroit
recommend these for going to the gym?
I would recommend the sport Bose earbuds because the battery pack in the qc20 would get in the way of exercise
+628ChopperXX Get the sport one's. I have them and they are great. They are also sweat resistant so it will last longer.
+Jack McCallum I spoke with Bose they said the QC20 are not sweat resistant. I wouldn't risk them. I bought the sport for the gym and upgraded the earbuds to the StayHear+ (Plus) the plus version gives a snugger fit and more base. The plus come with a QC20 not yet with sport maybe to let the ears breath.
Thanks
+Jack McCallum Just to update my friend bought the sport and said he got the StayHear Plus with them. I just ordered some and it's a nice difference. My ultimate Bose would be Bluetooth noise cancelling sweatproof.
I'D KILL FOR EARBUDS LIKE THESE
Hey this guy is good
Thanks!
how does it do with heavy metal?
They sound great i use with viper4android and emulate sub bass it sounds amazing. I've owned a lot of headphones other bose models as well best i can compare these to is one mostly not even in its league I had a pair of shure se535 audiophile headphones those run $550 retail on avg I've sense sold them bought these and pocketed some money did the shure se535 not sound better? Of course they did but at tje sacrifice of comfort i can wear these all day long and i do the shure se535 after 2-3 jours my ears would hurt and I'd need a break the seal was great but when using at the gym walking ect you hear yourself breathing you hear your footsteps which to me is annoying. The shure se535 are great but not worth the price the bose qc20 is priced high but customer service is amazing with bose and the product is top notch. I personally think the price is justified and do not regret buying then unlike otjer super high end headphones I've had in the past like the shure se535 which cost a good bit more than these and i like these better. Well they shake your brain with bass out of the box? No but with a good eq if you know what you are doing they can they're capable they're super high end and sound great
aaron qureshi i use poweramp with the eq set to bass and treble with the bass on 27percent this is the absolute best preset you're gonna get
Still using in 2024
you look so cool man :)
Notice how he is not wearing them correctly... Sorry bro... Notice how I comment one year later
Anthony Huynh you do realise the guy who is wearing the earphones in the video isn't the guy with the reviewer's voice right?
And why would that matter if his point is correct? Who cares who the narrator is? He is pointing out that they aren't being worn properly in the video!
Anyone used these on a plane?
Detroit looks so terrible
these are not cat proof. my cat bit into the wires clean Dx
Tan Tan i know, i had that exact thing with the cable of my qc25's
MY FAVORITE HEADPHONES BUT I HATE THE COLOR AVAILABILITY!!!!!!! IN CALIFORNIA THEY ONLY COME IN LIGHT BLUE!!!!! I HATE IT!!!!!!
$300 ... lol
Insane...
They should really include the price in the video, if not lead with that.... I'd also like to know how they compare to something reasonably priced too...
Petar Stamenkovic Don't see the point in spending that much on ear buds. I'll stick to a good pair of over the ears for when at home and then your normal apple ear buds when out.
CrendorTheGreat I would but apple earbuds always fall out of my ear :(

The cord will deteriorate after a year
Robert Bobby Gonzalez nah

Why are all the ugly people making fun of how he looks? As a model, I can say he isn't ugly and is a decent looking man. You people make me sick.
How's he gonna hear the gunshots?
300 dollars. OMG!!
The bass is not good at all. I have them, no good heavy bass.
+Amin Momtaheni try adjusting the equalizer on your device. You're not going to get that boom boom base like Beats. Beats over compensates for it's lack of midrange by over extending the bass. Listen to a nice piece of jazz and you'll see the Bose are killing it. If you choice is heave rap then you do need the Beats.
Amin Momtaheni i use poweramp with the preset bass and treble with the bass at 27 percent no that's all fixed and the bass became real deep and punchy
My god, you need to do something about that walking method.
Get a life!
This isn’t a review, this is a product description

Just got a pair for 40 bucks
2:04 that guy has no neck
Haha
Or you could buy some food for starving kids!
everything more than 50$ for earbuds is a fucking rip off
Wtf, why do you need these noise cancellation bs, when you can just get great isolation from Sennheiser Momentums and literally not hear a thing on the outside world. Don't need a huge battery pack like that, looks 1990s walkway hideous along with the earbuds. Bose would have lost a lot of sales just on the earbud design.
Nice
