See the Bose QuietComfort 20's on Amazon When noise cancellation technology first came onto the audio market, several headphone makers tried their hand at incorporating the technology in their headphones.

Highly recommend this for those that need to take out back ground sound/noise that is going on around you the noise cancelling works fantastic! You heard only what you are listening to. BOSE truly is the BEST.

Last year I reviewed the newly released Bose SoundSport and SoundTrue in-ear headphones and was extremely impressed with them. The sound clarity and range they produced far exceeded any in-ear headphones I have even used before. The comfort and fit of the earphones matched the quality of the sound.

Bose's noise-cancelling headphones are the best on the market but imagine having that technology in a pair of earphones. No need to imagine – they've done it. The new Quiet Comfort 20 (QC20) acoustic noise-cancelling in-ear headphones deliver the same quality and noise isolation as the regular Bose...

At the end of the day you'll have to consider what's more important to you. If you value ANC performance above everything else, or want to zone out during your daily commute or fly a lot of work or personal reasons, the Bose QC20i is probably the most compact solution you can get.

Noise-cancelling headphones have been the top choice of frequent fliers for years, but their transition to the world of earbuds has been rather slow. To some extent this is not surprising - an active noise cancellation system requires its own power as well as bulk that does not lend itself to...

If you have followed my on Google+ or even Twitter, you probably know my love for Bose' headphones. I've been using the Bose ime2i headphones for about 3-4 years now and have loved them. Usually headphones would last me maybe a year, but these could probably last another 3-4 years.

At $259.99, however, these headphones are some of the most expensive on the market of in-ear headphones, and an integrated battery pack means that these headphones have their limitations. As a college student, I prefer to not leave the house with the bulkier over-ear headphones I normally use.

Excellent noise-cancellation for the headphone type and size; Compact and travel-friendly design; Excellent battery life; Incredibly comfortable headphones to wear; The inclusion of an aware mode
