hey I'm David Carney from cnet.com and this is the Bose quiet control 30 wireless bluetooth headphone with active noise cancellation it ships this September it is essentially the wireless version of the QuietComfort 20 the companies in your noise-cancelling headphone that I really like now you've probably seen plenty of people wearing these neck band style wireless headphones which LG pioneered with its tone series but think of the QC 30 as the ultimate neck band style bluetooth headphone with impressive sound and a $300 price tag to match it's premium status not only is the build quality really good but the headphone fits very comfortably with an open design by open I mean that you don't Jam the earbud into your ear thanks to boses stay here plus ear tips which come in three sizes the bud sits loosely in your ear yet remain securely in place the only downside to an open design is that ambient sound leaks in and normally a headphone like this wouldn't be good for noisy environments but that's where the noise cancelling comes in even though the design is open ambient noise gets muffled and what's a little different from boses previous noise cancelling models is that you can manually adjust the level of noise cancellation by pressing a button on the integrated remote or through boses free connect app for iOS and Android devices battery life is rated at 10 hours which is decent for this type of bluetooth headphone and a protective carrying case is included elbows doesn't advertise the headphone as sweat-resistant it is and is suitable for gym use and maybe even running if you don't mind the feel of having something around your neck while running QC 30 was designed to be used as a wireless headset and it's a really good one it muffles ambient sounds like wind and crowd noise so colors can hear you better and you can hear colors better there's also a side tone feature that allows you to hear your own voice in the headphone as you speak so you don't raise your voice while talking this isn't the only new wireless Bluetooth noise cancelling headphone and boses lineup there's also the flagship quiet comfort 35 a full-size wireless model with best-in-class noise cancellation given the choice between the two my personal inclination would be to wait for this one but the QC 35 has its own appeal
