Questions on the Bose QC20's

Posted by caffeinator on March 2, 2017 at 11:16:46:
From the pictures, it looks like the Bose may be in-ear, but there appear to be some small projections to keep them on the outer ear, as would befit earbuds. Are they in-ear, or more earbud-like?

Also sounds like one can turn on or turn off the noise-cancelling - is that right?

My experience with noise cancelling has been that it was usually not very effective and produced unwanted artifacts; I have tended to prefer the isolation of true in-ear (like Etymotics). Do you find the Bose noise cancelling is acceptably neutral?
