I love my qc30 noise canceling ability. But the design of the tips is just wrong. I really need to press them in hard. To get a good seal. I tried all sizes. I wish Bose would make in ear tips, instead off kinda in ear. They just start to hurt, while I can wear other brands all day long. at least give us an option to replace the tips with a real inear option. I cannot give a good durability, since I can only use them for 30 minutes max.
Wearing a medium size was too big for my ear and would make them sore after a few hours. Changing to a small size fixed this issue, but I feel like the small is too small for my ears, so i'm stuck in this middle-ground of needing a size in between small and medium.
The only durability problem I've had is that I was attempting to change tips, and accidentally ripped the rubber piece that tucks behind your ear.. It still fits in my ear fine, but I I feel I could easily rip the other end off. Very fragile so handle with care, otherwise its a comfortable tip.
The wedge shape means that the ear buts sit on your ear, instead of inside, like conventional earbud tips, which prevents a good seal and lets much more noise in. No amount of active noise cancellation electronics can compensate for the poor fit, so standard passive earbuds do a much better job of blocking noise. Also, that curved wing thingy is just so uncomfortable, and does a poor job of keeping the earbuds from falling out. I wish Bose would provide an option to use conventional in-ear tips on the QuietControl 3, instead of those nasty StayHear tips.
I purchased this product to replace some older tips that were on a set of earphones. They fit perfectly snug and tight. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The tips stay in the ears and and do not move around. These tips brought an old set of earphones back to life. I have worn them now for over three months daily and they have retained all of their attributes. I have nothing negative to say about them. They are worth every penny.
I am perfectly happy with the QC20i but the M size StayHear+ tips caused some pain to the ears after a while. S size tips are more comfortable but there is not enough grip and would fell off accidentally. Really hope that there would be ear tip which is in between M and S...
Could not rate higher unless I can wear the tips for long period of time
I bought them and put on my old Bose headphone (FREESTYLE EARBUDS) and they isolate noise better and quality seems as good as SoundTrue® Ultra :-) Just by these and put them on your old headphone. I'm happy with the purchase.
I bought these for my sport ear buds to replace the ones that come with them they are a HUGE improvement on the originals and should come with every pair of Bose ear buds.
I lost my one pair of tips and was so glad to get these back. I workout and jump rope so I am so excited to have them again! They fit perfectly, they don't fall out of my ears and they are comfortable!! Thank you so much!
