[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really needed this not to just listen to music but to block out my noisy neighbours. and OMG it works AND I'm getting the best sleep

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm bought QuietComfort 20 headphones after a long period of reading reviews and thinking about whether they'll be worth the money. I bought them from the Bluewater store mainly because I wanted to test before for buying them. I wanted to get them for bedtime listening and for cancelling out kids first thing in the morning. I have sound sports headphones and sound quality is as good and they are comfortable thanks to the tips. There is a bit of white noise caused by the noise cancelling but this is expected- this doesn't affect the quality. When you turn on the noise cancelling - SILENCE. low frequency is filtered better than higher frequency sounds but nevertheless, the impact on noisy environments is brilliant! Today for the first time in 10 years I overslept as it was so quiet yet the kids were up to their normal weekend shenanigans!

Sound cancelling feature excellent but... The cord from the control module to your phone is less than 3" long. Makes no sense to me. In order to turn the noise cancelling on or off, I have to remove both the phone and the module from my pocket and then am left juggling two items trying to operate tiny switch.. Not good design.

I bought these earphones a week ago and I can't believe how much better I feel physically and emotionally. I have sensory processing disorder, which means every day noises can feel like I'm sitting under an airplane all day long. With these earphones all of that extraneous noise is virtually gone. I can't hear anything but the faintest far away voices, other than all the sounds from the music I play. I am also very pleased with the earpieces. They fit snugly, don't fall out no matter how much I move my head, and can be worn for long periods of time with no pain whatsoever. I read that some people are annoyed with the battery, feeling that it was cumbersome to carry around, but it hasn't been an issue for me as it fits easily beside my phone in pockets and I just tuck it beside my phone if I'm carrying it in my hand. The texture of the battery case is something else, very smooth! I am very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend them. They are a fraction less effective than the headphones but only a fraction, nothing significant at all. I originally bought the headphones but felt that they were too bulky and hot for my preference, but I don't feel like that at all with the earphones. They're very functional and practical for every day use. I can't wait to use them on my next plane trip!
