Minimize external distractions so you can relax.

Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology

Bose's Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone technology employs microphones in the earcups to monitor the difference between internal and external sound. A "correcting" signal is sent to each earcup to dramatically reduce unwanted background noise, keeping distractions at bay and allowing you to hear your music more clearly.

Control your iPhone® remotely

Own an iPhone? Keep it in your pocket without losing control. The QuietComfort 3 headphones come with two detachable cords, including one with an in-line three-button remote for use with your iPhone, iPod® or iPad®. Answer calls and control music playback — or adjust the volume for either — with the push of a button. Don't worry about dozing off and dropping your iPhone while listening on the plane. Keep it stowed away and let the remote take care of it.

Perfect for a long flight, noisy office or just relaxing at home, the QuietComfort 3 headphones feature cushioned, comfortable earcups, ensuring you can keep them on for hours. Even without music playing, the noise cancelling circuitry can be activated to block out the world so you can relax. The built-in battery provides up to 25 hours of listening or noise cancelling time and is easily rechargeable with the supplied wall charger. Take these headphones near and far by folding them up and stashing them in the zip-up carrying case for great sound on the go.

Features

Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphone Technology: The patented Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone technology in Bose QuietComfort headphones provides full-spectrum noise reduction for a better audio experience. Microphones in the ear-cups actively monitor what you hear, including unwanted outside sound. The difference between the unwanted sound and the desired sound is then electronically processed, creating a correction signal that acts to negate the unwanted noise. The speaker within each ear-cup is then fed the correction signal. This signal, combined with the passive noise reduction of the headset itself, dramatically reduces the outside distractions that reach your ears.

Comfortable Fit: The QuietComfort 3 headphone feature cushioned on-ear pads for a comfortable fit. The headband is padded for additional comfort, especially for long-time use. You can gain up to 3 inches in headband length, allowing comfortable settings for a wide variety of head sizes.

Detachable Cable:  The headphones use a single ear-cup 53" audio cable, which gives you far fewer problems with tangling than two-cable designs.  When you're ready to listen to audio, just plug the cord into the left ear-cup and into your audio source. If you plan to use the QuietComfort 3 headphones for noise reduction only, you can simply put the headset on and switch on the noise reduction circuitry. There is no need to connect the audio cord.

Control Talk Cable: The Bose QC3 headphones come with an additional 5.5' cable customized for select Apple products. A 3-button remote and in-line microphone let you take calls on your iPhone and manage music on other Apple devices. You can control volume, track selection, and voice applications; plus easily switch between calls and music.

  • Hands-Free Talking: When your iPhone rings, just push the integrated answer/end button on the headset's inline remote to pause your music and take the call from your iPhone. The omnidirectional mic on the back of the inline remote picks up your voice clearly, so there is no need to hold it to your mouth. The other party is heard through your compatible Bose headphones. You can end the call with one more touch of the button, and your music continues from where you left off. The built-in in mic also supports voice control from your compatible iPhone.
  • Music Control: The Control Talk cable offers volume, track selection, and voice application features for your compatible iPod/iPhone through the inline remote. You can adjust volume up/down, play/pause tracks, skip tracks (forward/backward), fast forward/rewind within a track, and change playlists.

Note: The remote and mic are supported by the iPod nano (4th/5th/6th gen), iPod classic (120/160GB), iPod touch (2nd/3rd/4th gen), iPhone (3GS/4/4S), and iPad (1/2); as well as MacBook and MacBook Pro (2009 model or later). The remote is also supported by the iPod shuffle (3rd/4th gen). Audio is supported by all iPod models. You can also purchase a mobile kit (018QC3CELL, sold separately) that lets the QC3 headphones work with other cell phones, too

Airline Adapter: A dual-plug adapter is included for use with most airline audio systems.

Battery: The QuietComfort 3 headphones are powered by a single rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which provides approximately 25 hours of reliable run time. A small wall-socket charger is included.

Carry Case: You can store the headphones and accessories in the supplied carry case. The ear-cups rotate and fold so they can be stored flat in the crushproof case. The length of the supplied strap can be adjusted for ease of use.
