Good speaker but......
on July 4, 2017

For a small speaker the sound is good.
But for me it has two negatives. First, no AC power cord.
Second, the speaker has to be OFF in order to charge. If the speaker is plugged into USB it will play but not charge. The engineering behind this escapes me.
The speaker was returned and replaced with the Sony XB 30.

Well worth the cost

Great camera. Good picture in all light conditions including no light. Very easy and quick setup. Works great on iPhone and iPad. Geofencing feature is a plus. It automatically turns the camera on when I leave the house and off when I return. After the free two week trial period for video storage, it does require a paid subscription if you want to continue with the recording storage. This is optional.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best I've used
on December 1, 2013

How Often Used:Daily
I've gone through a number of headphones over the years and these are without question the best. They replace the Bose Quiet Comfort 2. Those worked fine, however, I just did not find them comfortable for more than an hour. And of course you deal with the bulk issue that may or may not be a consideration for some.
The QC 20's are very comfortable for extended periods. And they don't fall out of my ears, a problem I've had with other "in the ear models".
I find the sound quality to be excellent. I'm not an audiophile. I'm looking for good clear sound and these deliver that.
As a frequent flyer, noise cancellation is an important issue. Probably the main reason these got my attention in the first place. On that score I'm very pleased. With the noise canceling on, most outside noise is gone. The Aware feature is very useful also.
I'm getting a full days use with noise canceling on. Of course, having to recharge may be a negative for some. They do recharge in about 2 hours. My old QC2's used a replaceable AAA battery. The upside is that they still deliver acceptable sound when the noise canceling battery has been depleted.
Now the price. Not cheap. Some might argue not worth it. I disagree. The old adage, you get what you pay for, might apply here. I believe it does. The price hit happens just once. The hours of comfort, sound and noise canceling, in my opinion have made this a purchase I don't regret.

Excellent bluetooth
on July 24, 2012
Posted by: Rider

This is by far the most comfortable bluetooth I have use.
Talk time so far is as advertised and the standby time is good too.
Not one caller has asked if I was using a bluetooth device. And the caller has come in loud and clear.
I have owned several other bluetooth devices, and for a variety of reasons, no longer use them.
My only criticism would be voice dialing. That I have found to be inaccurate.
Now the price is open to some discussion. Pricey, yes. But for the clarity of calls and ease of use, in my judgement worth the price.

Didn't work for me
on December 20, 2011

The product is well made and holds my GPS. But it didn't do what it is advertised to do, hold the GPS in one place. When placed on the dash of my vehicle, a Chevy Silverado, every time I turned a corner at any speed in excess of 5mph the unit moved left or right. It didn't slide across the dash but it moved an inch or two.
I think this is one product that you have to try yourself in your vehicle. It may work well depending on the contour of your dash.
In my case it didn't work and was returned.

Can these be worn with motorcycle helmet?
I was wondering/hoping that these can be worn while wearing a motorcycle helmet. I have varying degrees of "success" wearing in-the-ear style headphones (earphones?), including the non-noise-cancelling version of Bose earbud headphones. I like the idea of noise cancelling feature as that may help with reducing overall noise while riding motorcycle. Thanks.
That would depend on the helmet. I'm a rider and I wear a half helmet. They work fine. With a full helmet, not sure.

Can these be used with iPod, Android or Windows?
Im a rare bird here, I have a iPod for my music I have a Nexus 7 tablet which runs Android and a Nokia Lumia 1020 phone which runs WP8 OS. My question is can I listen to all of these devices with just one pair of these headphones or do I have to buy the iPod/Phone/Pad for that and the Android/Windows ones to work with those?
The product description indicates the 20i 's are for Apple products and the 20 's are for everything else.

do these come recharged?
If you are asking if they come charged, yes. The instructions say to charge fully before the first use. Mine took about 30 minutes to get a full charge.

Do these headphones come with an airline adapter?
Most Bose headphones come with an accompanying airline adapter, do these headphones come with those as well? If not are they available separately for purchase?
No adapter.
