This is the only style of earbuds that fit my ears with small ear canals (ear holes): this model being especially made with an inline microphone and remote controls for iOS phone calls and music player control. ***Note: the inline controls can work with other smart phones (music play/pause, call answer/end call) but not all the functions (i.e. Vol +/-) will work as it does for iOS phones*** The earbuds arrived with a zippered color-coordinated case, a clothing clip and three pairs of different color-coded sized shallow insertion silicone ear tips (small/white, medium/gray, large/black) that fit onto the hard plastic exterior part of the left and right labeled earbuds. The curved silicone "point" of the ear tip rests just inside the conch or most inner fold of the ear (this is where the sized part of the ear tips come in) and this is what helps me, in particular, with having earbuds that stay in and don't fall off while in use. ***Note: these earbuds are not shoved deep into the ear canal but rather fit just inside the ear canal*** I do use these with light to moderate dog walking and heavy exercise on an elliptical and the phone on an armband or in the pocket of a neck towel or in a zippered waistband product. If I feel there is too much sweat on them, making them slippery, I just remove, wipe them on my gym towel, and re-insert. I do keep the earbuds in its case and I try not to unnecessarily pull or yank the buds out of the phone or mp3 player. The earbuds stay securely in the ear for exercise with an long (approximately 45 1/4 inches/115 cm) coated wire that has at one end, approximately 10 inches/15.5 cm of wire that is separated left and right with an adjustable slide to close the separation of the wires. There is an inline microphone with controls on the right side earbud wire approximately 3 inches/8 cm down from the earbud - I can only see this as a problem if your left-handed as the ear buds cannot be switched. On the other end of the earbuds is a 3.5mm gold-plated jack/connector. I have purchased four pairs of Bose earbuds in the last 15+ years - all are still working; at home, at work, in the car and in my purse. As to the the sound of these earbuds, I'd say they are the best non-professional earbuds I have heard and are worth their price. Bose has what's called tri-Port technology which allows the user to hear highs and lows in an extraordinary balance. I don't use any phone equalizer settings and prefer to use them on a "flat" equalizer setting. These are not like some other comparable buds that are more expensive and popular nowadays that have way too much bass for me and although they have the ear tip I need, the part that enters the ear canal is still the "mushroom-tipped" shape I cannot use and needs to be inserted deeper into the ear canal. I listen to everything: classical, rock, bollywood, jazz, metal, hip-hop, pop, podcasts, videos etc... the gamut of sounds, and I'm never displeased. I take care of my hearing and really never have had a need to use these at full volume. Needless to say, even at the loudest volume I don't hear the distortion than can happen with cheaper technology. All in all, these earbuds/earphones have outstanding sound quality and come in a neat variety of color designs as well as, just as important for me, have the ability to have the earbuds stay in my ears and not fall out.Read full review

Famous QC35! I was waiting for this model, which allow to comply with flight regulations (despite there is no dedicated "flight mode") and use cable while on a plane and the same time use the power of Bluetooth to get rid of wires in all other cases. Overall headset is great and ability to work with two devices simultaneously is the great idea. However, connecting it to my Mac Mini revealed several issues with the sound, such as 15-30 seconds choppy playback when they just connected, or audio profiles switching back and forth while connecting. Though once connection is established it works fine. Also I didn't expect them to be such heavy, which ended up with the ear pain after 4-5 hours of use, minor yet still pain; can be cured by changing ear cup position slightly. But even with these problems, which I don't consider significant for my daily & flight use, I can recommend them for anyone who takes 5 or more lengthy flights in a year and would like to get rid of environment noise in a daily usage. P.S. A not about noice cancellation: it doesn't mean that you won't hear anything except the music/sound but rather it muffles officious sounds around, significantly decreasing annoyance level. That's how I feel it and it is totally fine for me.Read full review

This now an outdated headphone of the Bose QC series, but still one of the best. The newer version, the QC35 II is wireless and has all that, but I basically just need headphones that I can use on an airplane for noise cancellation and watching movies or listening to music. These are great for that.

Incredible noise cancelling effect and good sound quality in my non audiophile opinion. Lightweight and easy to use Bluetooth setup.

I needed these headphones primarily for air travel, so I was looking for a wired headphone that I could plug in to the entertainment system. These ones are perfect. Light and comfortable enough to wear for hours on long trips. I highly recommend them!
