Review on 🎧 Bose Quietcontrol 30 Wireless Headphones - Ultimate Noise Cancelling Experience in Black by Brooke Parker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Clumsy, squeaky, not understandable as well as QC20

They're bulky, awkward to carry, and quite uncomfortable with the large control unit hanging on the right ear. The noise-cancellation isn't bad (almost as good as my four-year-old QC20s), but the headset started beeping in my right ear every time I turned my head; The control module rubbed against the cable jacket. This is a design flaw that will likely appear in almost all of these devices for the first few years. This makes the product a non-starter. Turn your head to look at the tree "beep", turn your head to look at someone nearby "beep". I had no idea how much I looked around until I spent 2 hours with these headphones (yes, a 2 hour walk was all it took for them to start beeping). The design of this headset makes it unsuitable for travel. Unlike the QC20, which fits in a bag the size of a travel brush, it comes with a large hard-shell protective case the size of your neck. and they *need* it. There is no pull-back mechanism or protection for the headphones and their controller; unlike LG's venerable HBS series. Slip them into your travel bag without their cosmic duty and courtship disaster. I was ready to love her, but after reflection and examination. The target market is people who like something that looks cool but don't value the utility at all. I suggest you wait for something lighter, stronger, more ergonomic and travel friendly.

Pros
  • even in the old blunt
Cons
  • packaging
