    Alternatives to Bose QC20? (noise-cancelling earbuds)

    I was wondering if there were any good alternatives to the Bose QC20 now? I bought mine 6 months ago and have been mostly happy with them, but I'm already having an intermittent connection in one side. They have a pretty flat frequency response combined with excellent noise isolation due to...

    IEMs for work / with best isolation

    Hello,   I am looking for IEMs with really good isolation, since my job requires sometimes a lot of cocentration. This means that the IEMs should block out a lot of noise, even if there is no music playing. I was considering custom IEMs, but I am wondering whether they are really providing the...

    [REVIEW] Bose Quiet Comfort 20

    I have always been fascinated by noise cancelling (NC) headphones.  But whenever I tried them (perhaps for the first time decades ago and usually at the Sharper Image) I was always disappointed that they only cancelled low frequency sounds. They did nothing about voices or unwanted outside...

    I was in the store the other day and noticed a brand new product from a manufacturer most of us at Head-fi write off. When I saw the price tag of this product I was immediately sceptical and wrote it off as well. But out of curiosity I went into a Bose outlet today and demo'd the new QC20 their...

    $150 and not sure which one to pick!

    Balance: $150, and I could save for another $150 if worth it.   I want something that is highly mobile and could use it everyday at college. Sound quality matters and so is the noise cancelling feature.   I don't want one of the bulky Gaming PC headsets, I have my PC360 (With broken mic...

    Why people call the Bose QC20 the best sound cancellation earphone?

    Hello, we all know that although the QC20 is good at removing engine noise, it cannot remove human conversation and other noises. Why people keep saying that it is the best sound cancellation earphone? Isn't it true that those Etymotic earphones are better at blocking all sorts of sound from the...

    Mad Dog Pro sound leakage?

    I've done some pretty exhaustive searching, so I've seen the somewhat conflicting reports on the Mad Dog sound leakage. Before I pull the trigger on a pair of MDPs, though, wanted to get a final opinion.   For full-size cans, I already have a pair of V6s (with velour pads) and M100s (with...

    How to streamline Bose QC20 battery dongle/module?

    I've had the Bose QC20i's for a few days now and it's incredible how effective the noise-cancellation is (even over the QC15's, which I've owned as well).   The only drawback for me is the battery dongle/module. Boy does that thing get annoying quickly. I take my iPhone in and out of my pocket...

    Hard case ideas for Bose QC20 earbuds?

    Bose QC 20, not good enough for $300

    I'm listening to the Bose QC 20 while typing this post.  I'm down 320 dollars and not completely satisfied with my choice in earbuds.  Before I complain to the internet, I'll first say that the noise canceling feature is amazing.  Arguably unmatched in the industry.  When charged up and turned...
