Aware Mode
There are moments when you may not want to be so cut off from your surroundings. Crossing a city street. Waiting for airline gate announcements. This is where Aware mode comes in. Instead of removing your headphones, just press a button, and you're back in touch with the sounds around you - while your music keeps playing, and you still experience some noise cancellation
Rechargeable Battery
The environmentally friendly built-in lithium-ion battery (located inside the module) charges in just 2 hours with the included USB cable, and delivers up to 16 hours playing time per charge. A battery indicator light displays power status. And, even if the battery dies, your music still plays with performance equal to that of our regular in-ear headphones

Are these soft or comfy? I need a pair of headphones I can sleep in. Thanks
Asked by: Vanessa
My husband snores terribly and I tried to use them as "sleep phones" and was unable to. While I absolutely love these earphones for the purpose for which I use them (listening to music or audio-books while seated or walking), I could not sleep in them. The part that goes in your ear is soft and pliable and they are comfortable, and once you get them in "just right" they stay in fairly well. However, my experience was they didn't stay in while trying to sleep in them and changing positions during the night. That being said, if you want the VERY BEST experience in noise cancelling audio, these are perfection, especially on an airplane. I just purchased a second pair for my husband to use on an upcoming trip. I have had my original pair for years and they sound as good today as day 1.

Can we use this with power supply of 240volt
Asked by: Keng Kuok
Yes. Any regular USB charger will work, and almost all USB chargers are now rated to work with 100-240 volts, so there is no problem.

Can this product be used in countries where the power voltage supply to charge the battery is 230volts instead of 110volts used in the US?
Asked by: Keng Kuok
I have charged them in Europe using the Apple charger without any issue. Obviously you will need the plug adapter

Hello Elmar, thank you for your question. The QuietControl 20 headphones are able to be used with an audio source that has a 3.5 mm audio connection. Have a great day! Best Regards, Greg - Bose Support

question

Does the NEW style QuietComfort 20 noise-cancelling in-ear headphone have an audible background buzz in quiet mode without music playing? The reviews for the OLD style and my own observation in a Bose store was that the OLD style had a low background buzz in quiet mode without music playing.
Asked by: David R.
None. They are the best noise cancelling headphones I have used. I bought the version for iPhone/iPad and they work exactly as advertised.
