Didn't know about the QC30s. Amazon review mentions that the noise cancelling is not as extreme as QC20 or QC35 (by design, according to Bose).

My guess is that the new buds will allow the iPhone as a 3rd microphone, with Apple's "Live Listen"

really? I own the QC30s and I had non idea that was not the best for noise cancelling. why would they design it to b be less effective than the other models?

Information was from the top negative review on Amazon: "I called Bose support and they told me the QC30 was never intended to be a replacement for the QC20. They said the NC wouldn’t be as strong and wasn’t intended to be. That is why one is designated QuietControl and not QuietComfort. "

I missed the reply from Bose: "We apologize for the information you received from our support team as it is not accurate. The Quietcontrol 30 headphones should offer a comparable level of noise cancellation to the previous QC20 model. Although the level of noise cancellation is adjustable on the QC30, they should perform just as well as the QC20."
