Question: These are marvelous. But I worry about the durability of the cables which run from iPad to amplifier and amplifier to earbuds. Anybody had problem?
Document: It's more a hassle when you're walking around. If it is a plane flight or bus, it is no problem at all. The other small caveat is that since you have to recharge it, you can't just replace a battery when it runs out. You can use it with the USB cable attached if you run low, but your iPad won't have a USB port so you'll need another power source.
I did detect a little bass clipping on low-end heavy material at high volumes but it was liveable.I also liked the fact that they are rechargeable - for me this is preferable to having to remember to carry spare batteries but there obviously could be issues if they run out of juice half way through a flight and you don't have means to recharge them.My only very slight concern is durability.
Sure, the best $$$ can buy (at $300). Note however. This is a BIG headset, the cables are beefy. The worse part is the (very) heavy battery/control housing. It will not be easy to just grab and go with these guys. It will flop from ur device and just plain irritate you. You will NOT be stuffing these in your pocket for a quick run or walk.
Plus, they charge via USB and you can charge them while you're listening and they'll have no problem charging faster than they're draining. For me, being able to plug these into my laptop or keyboard while I'm using them is amazing, there's never any worry over batteries or charge.The sound quality is perfect. I can sit in my living room and listen to podcasts while someone else is watching TV with full concentration and be able to ignore that annoying stone age box at the same time.
Noise cancellation works great. Does not cause headache like the QC15. Absolutely Splendid as an Iphone 5 headset - unlikely anything I've ever had before in that regard. Used on 20 hour flights to Singapore and batteries died at the end but they charge quickly. I just worry about what happens to my $300 headphones once the rechargable battery stops recharging in a few years. Called Bose and they claim there will be a refurb trade in problem for a fee, but the battery is not replaceable.
If really used to the max for working out on a regular basis, there's a fair chance that they will eventually defect at some point and not last forever. However, I find the level of durability of the MIE2i earbuds more than acceptable for everyday use and they are officially my favorite multipurpose earbuds of all time (I've owned them for about 4-5 years).
Speaking of not fitting correctly ...3. Noise canceling is useless when the earbuds don't fit.4. The battery pack is awkward.5. It needs a carrying case that is bigger than my smartphone to accommodate the big battery pack, thick cables, and huge earbuds.6. The cord doesn't wrap up nicely and it is too fat for cable devices like Curvyman.7. $300!
These are very comfortable earbuds, and I like them because they are small with good quality, since I use them when I travel. However, and I hate to say this because I love Bose, I can barely hear movies played at full blast on my iPad while flying. The noise of the plane just cannot be isolated enough. Therefore, I do not consider these noise cancelling. Reducing maybe, but not cancelling.
The noise cancellation is incredible. I did not even realize we had gone wheels up.There may be better headphones for use in your underground acoustic studio but the purpose of noise canceling headphones is not snobbish audio perfection, it is noise reduction with good sound. This is where these excel. With the Sennheiser earbuds the noise reduction was not nearly as good and I hd to turn my ipad volume all the way up to hear a movie. These have far superior noise cancellation and sounded good at half volume.
The NC 20i performs as expected and then some. I study at Starbucks a lot and depending on location, SB can be very noisy. With the QC20i, the noise drowns away and allows me to focus. The design and build quality are superb, but the battery pack is a bit cumbersome.The only problem with this product is that the earbuds hurt after a while. I find myself removing them about once every 2 hours.
Answer: No problem. Heavy enough rubber coated wire to last a very long time.Great device
