This review could be as simple as this: "If you are willing to spend $300 on in-ear headphones, then buy the Bose QuietComfort twenty headphones." Of coursework, the world of in-ear headphones is far more complicated than that. Walk in to any electronics store & your choices are daunting. Positive, you can spend $20 on a pair of garish Skullcandy headphones, but when it comes down to it, you get what you pay for. Right?
Enter the Bose QuietComfort 20i. The "i" of coursework denotes that the model they reviewed is iOS compatible & they tested it with an iPhone five as well as an iPad. They appreciated the fact that in a smartphone marketplace that is no longer dominated by Apple that Bose offers multiple versions of the QuietComfort twenty: the 20i (the version they tested) boasts a three-button inline remote that works with iOS devices & lets you do everything from controlling the volume, skipping forward & backward in a playlist, pause & resume music & answering & ending calls. There is as well as a button to toggle Aware Mode (more about that later) on & off. The standard one-button QuietComfort twenty works with Android, Windows & Blackberry devices.
They took the Bose QuietComfort 20i on several journeys across the states & they were blown away by the technological advancements that Bose has made to both noise-cancellation as well as comfort. The silicone ear tips are designed to sit comfortably in the ear while also sealing the ear canal. This is achieved not by shoving the the tip in to your ear, a feature with plenty of in-ear headphones that is plain awful, but by using flexible ear tips that Bose calls "StayHear+" expertise. While the tips sit in your ear, StayHear+ has small wings that fit inside the cup of the outer ear. What this means is that the QuietComfort twenty manages to actually stay firmly in your ear while not being uncomfortable in the coursework of those extended listening sessions. In fact, you can pull on the cable & the QuietComfort 20s won't fall out.
Being noise cancelling in-ear headphones, the QuietComfort 20s need power & this is where the downside (aside from the cost) comes in to play. There is a comparatively giant inline module that contains the rechargeable lithium ion battery & the power switch as well as the MicroUSB port (for charging) & lights for Aware Mode, Charge, & Power.
The QuietComfort twenty charges by MicroUSB & you can charge it fully in around hours. One time fully charged Bose claims that you can expect about 16 hours from a single charge. In our tests they seldom ran out of battery power. That said, the QuietComfort 20s can work passively when the headphones are technically "off." In fact, several times they were happily listening to music before realizing that the headphones weren't even on.
The QuietComfort twenty makes use of TriPort expertise & an Active EQ to accomplish what amounts to some brilliant noise cancelling. That said there is more to these headphones than that. With the QuietComfort twenty Bose has introduced something called "Aware Mode." Along with the volume buttons, also on the inline remote is a grey button that toggles "Aware Mode" on & off. Basically put, Aware Mode is designed to help you be able to listen to important things that the noise cancelling may drown out: like flight information in an airport or a automobile that might need to run you over.
