PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION
Do the QC
®
20 and 20i Acoustic Noise
Cancelling
®
headphones reduce more
noise than the QC15 and 3 Acoustic
Noise Cancelling headphones?
The total noise attenuation of the QC
®
20 and 20i headphones is similar to
that of the QC15 headphones, though the balance of active and passive
noise reduction is different in each headphone. The QC20, 20i and 15
headphones provide more noise reduction than the QC3 headphones.
Do the QC
®
20 and 20i Acoustic Noise
Cancelling
®
headphones deliver better
audio reproduction than the QC15 and 3
Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones?
The QC
®
20 and 20i headphones maintain the acclaimed audio
performance of QC15 and 3 headphones, but in a smaller form factor.
Do the QC
®
20 and 20i Acoustic Noise
Cancelling
®
headphones deliver better
audio reproduction than the Bose
®
audio
headphones?
When powered, the QC
®
20 and 20i headphones utilize an Active EQ that
closely matches the proprietary Bose
®
audio target for headphones.
Additionally, a combination of the seal created by the StayHear
®
+ tip
and TriPort
®
headphone technology enable a bass response not
commonly found in such small headphones. This provides better overall
audio reproduction than Bose audio headphones.
When unpowered, the QuietComfort
®
20 and 20i headphones utilize the
combination of the seal created by the tip and proprietary TriPort
headphone technology to deliver a bass response not common for small
headphones. However, Active EQ is unable to function. Audio
performance in this state is similar to that of Bose audio headphones
(like the Bose IE2 audio headphones).
Are the QC
®
20 and 20i Acoustic Noise
Cancelling
®
headphones the same as
the Bose
®
aviation headsets?
No. Only our aviation headsets:
1. Are manufactured and marketed solely to the general aviation and
commercial pilot market.
2. Meet a technical standard order (TSO) from the Federal Aviation
Association (FAA).
3. Are outfitted with a boom microphone for clear communication.
4. Enable mission-critical communications even if the battery is depleted.
