The in-ear QuietControl 30 headphones have a precise arrangement of microphones inside and outside the earbuds to continuously measure, compare and react to noise.

The system then produces an equal and opposite signal to cancel the noise.

The StayHear+ QC tips also form a gentle seal for additional passive noise reduction.

  • Its noise cancellation is so advanced for a wireless in-ear design, there's nothing else like it in the industry. Controllable noise cancellation puts you in charge of how much of the world you shut out. From needing awareness on a busy sidewalk, to complete isolation for work, to taking a call from home in a crowded cafe -- the QC30 lets owners choose what they hear. Turn its noise cancellation up or down, not on or off, and it adapts to the level you set without changing your music volume.

  • All of Bose's new wireless headphones include NFC for touch-to-pair convenience, super-intuitive controls for music and calls, voice prompts for key information including setup, caller ID and battery life, and the free Bose Connect app for even more functionality. The QC30 has up to 10 hours of battery life from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, lasting as long as a fully-charged phone or tablet. An inline remote lets you take/end calls, skip/pause tracks and control volume without reaching for your device.

  • The performance of the QC30 are way ahead of where the market is right now. And for the millions of people who run, bike, hike or hit the gym, SoundSport headphones offer a new kind of alternative, because they're not just named for exercise -- they're made for it.
