Just ordered these on-line for my wife so she could have her own set when we travel together. I've used Bose noise cancelling headphones for about 20 years and still only on my 2nd pair pair due to the high quality. I love them an would not fly without them. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed by the Bose QC 25. The quality seems far below that of my old pair and I suspect they will get broken with a year or so. The cord connector plug is loose and does not snap in, indicating a solid connection to the headphones. I think the battery they sent with it is dead, or maybe they headphones arrived broken? I can still listen to music with them, but flipping the power switch does not change the sound quality and the green power light does not light up. I plan on taking them into the closest Bose store (30 miles away) to make sure they are not actually broken.So far, this buying experience does not meet the high standard we all expect from Bose!

I didn't know how good it is until I buy Sony.
I travel a lot which makes me think buying nice headset is necessary for a good rest on flights, Actually I had QC15 but I don't like the "pressurized" feeling while turning on NC (btw if NC is off you hear nothing on QC15), by chance I tried QC25 and found that the bad feeling is gone and sound quality is much better, and also I can still listen to music if NC is off on QC25, so I buy it myself.
Until one day I found Woot is doing discount on Sony MDRZX770BN which also have NC and good review, better part is Sony uses bluetooth so i could cut the wires, it looked to me that Sony charges also 200$+ so the quality should be somewhere in par with QC25.
But it didn't, NC on Sony seems not working at all from my point of view, comparing them side by side, I could simply tell that QC25 blows off ZX770 on NC, bass and simply built quality, it feels cheap and sad when I turn to ZX770, that's the time I realized that QC25 is so awesome.
Worst part is that I purchased ZX770 from Woot, it took them 7 days to "prepare shipment" and another 7 days for Fedex delivery, and I wasn't able to cancel or return it 15 mins after I placed the order, purchasing from Woot is not fun at all.
I guess what I really want to say is QC25 is the best, and never buy anything from Woot.

These headphones are light enough to be part of my EDC. I use them not just for listening to music, podcasts or movies, but also quite a bit for noise cancellation.
The key word here is 'cancellation' not 'elimination'. These aren't perfect, and I didn't expect them to be. But they're very very good. Sometimes I just put them on to take the outside noise down a couple of knotches. The busy IT room or super-loud data center now becomes a quiet talk in a doctors office waiting room. These cans can entertain you and help you maintain your sanity.
Whereas earbuds in the office send the message of 'I'm ignoring you (and probably listening to Pandora)' wearing Bose in the office are more, 'I need to hear something important' from a messaging perception. That 'something' could be Stone Temple Pilots, or just 'a lot less of your co-workers' need to check their voicemail while on speakerphone'.
Bose aren't a fashion statement. If you need bling, look elsewhere. And these aren't audio perfection either, so audiophiles begone! And they're not cheap. Without a doubt, there *are* better sounding headphones on Amazon for less money. But I dare you to find a more comfortable EveryDay Carry set of cans that travel this compactly, are this comfortable, sound this nice, and put a mouthful of cotton in your co-workers mouth at this price.
Bottom line: A Leatherman is not better than a dedicated knife, pliers, file and screwdriver, but it's a whole lot better than shoving all those tools in your front pants pocket. The Bose QC 25 are the audio equivalent to the best Leatherman.

This is my opinion and I absolutely was not paid to write this: I just received these today. I have had many other headphones (Beats, Monster, and Parrot) and these are my second pair of Bose headphones. I have the old Bose bluetooth headphones (the original with the big control on one earphone) but they do not offer noise reduction. With these new ones, I really didn't care if they were bluetooth or not, I just wanted the noise-reduction feature since I travel a lot.
I can say, with my first time listening to these headphones, I don't know why I didn't stick with Bose from the beginning instead of buying the other brands. The sound is absolutely awesome. My music is clear and I cannot hear any outside noise. This is exactly what I needed. They are also comfortable to wear, unlike the others I've had. The real test is when I travel with these, but I am sure they will not disappoint me!

I bought this at the airport last week and it was amazing! They come in a package that is easy to open and easy to use, and it has a case to carry them with you. It comes with a battery (remember the sound blocking works when activated, and it uses an AAA battery), a case, and an extender cord for planes' audio outlet. It so COMFORTABLE! I wore it the whole time during the flights, on and off to listen to the announcements because otherwise I would've missed them. I slept with them no problem and they feel so comfy and so nice on the ears. The sound blocking capabilities are amazing! You can barely barely hear anything from the outside, and the SOUND QUALITY is superb!
Now... The reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because of the price. Is it really worth this much? That's up to you, if you have the money, don't hesitate! Otherwise, if you can find something this good, get it, but it will be really hard, they are GOOD!

At $300 you'd expect quite a fine piece of audio engineering. The Q25 definitely doesn't disappoint, with the ability to turn on active noise cancellation you can tune out any background noises (fans, typing...etc.). In addition, they're extremely comfortable, albeit, a little hot after wearing it for a while. It does come with a battery (non-rechargeable), double pronged adapter, and carrying case. At 8-10 battery life for active noise cancellation, you probably won't run through too many batteries. Nonetheless, if you're wearing this for work or something similar, definitely might want to invest in some rechargeable batteries.
As a whole, I feel like a little kid at Christmas that just got their new cool toy!

I bought the Bose QuietComfort 25 headphones from Amazon back in March. I was very happy with the product originally, since I fly frequently due to work and used the headphones quite often during flights and also to make calls when standing by at the airport. The noise cancelling future was very useful for eliminating noise during flights and also to reduce background noise when making calls. However, after 8 months of use my right headphone stopped working and I can only hear from the left headphone. At first I thought it was a cable or battery issue, but after checking both I quickly noticed that the right speaker of the headphone just stopped working. For the price I paid for this headphones I was expecting that they would last longer and now I can no longer use the headphones since they no longer work properly and it is very annoying to just hear out of one ear. I am very disappointed and would urge you to consider twice before spending so much money in a headset that only works for 8 months.

Of the few noise cancelling headphones I've tried, these are by far the best! They cancel almost all voices (like 90%!), and about 80% of music is "blocked out". There is a slight difference in sound when the noise cancelling is turned on or off but I haven't tested it to determine which is better yet. Either way it still sounds very good as you'd expect from a $200 set of headphones. They are very light and fit quite snug to make sure there is no sound leakage around the padded ear cups. It is a little tight for my larger-than-average head but I got used to it quickly and I like them a lot. They are definitely worth the $200 I paid and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants great noise cancelling headphones.

This is my first pair of Bose headphones.
There is no going back.
I may not be an audiophile, but I do have have auditory processing challenges, my hearing is very sharp (I went blind from cataracts at age 20 and my ears super-compensated to help me navigate a new city in the months before surgery), and I have hyperacusis. My kid has ears that are even more finely tuned than mine and he wears isolating ear muffs to deal with sensory overwhelm but I had not found a workable, comfortable solution until now, and I needed one as even the sound of our dishwasher and clothes dryer were increasing my fatigue substantially,
The QuietComfort 25 provides a much needed buffer between me and the world, while I am still present and interacting fully.
I wear these without the audio cable attached, and noise canceling powered on.
The first day, I wore them on a moderately busy street while waiting for a bus (during daylight, in a safe environment) and instead of feeling my body gradually tighten up from the cumulative sounds of cars, motors, air conditioning units, the buzz of the power lines, the shrill squawk of crows overhead I only heard the teenagers laughing as they jogged by, the birds tweeting at eachother, and a gentle, wavelike roll of automobile wheels as they passed me.
I have not felt calm, like this, since I was a little kid, exploring the woods around out home, alone, in an environment without crisscrossing power lines, a/c, cell phones, fluorescent bulbs, etc... These filter, but do not isolate.
For me, these are a miracle. I do not like listening to music via headphones because I am usually the only responsible adult here and my hypersensitivity to most sensory input means I never even sleep deeply, so escaping into music and not hearing something or someone is scary to me. If I need to listen to something, I'll either listen over Bluetooth speakers or a pair of Audio-Technica open style studio headphones. Audio Technica ATH-AD700X Audiophile Headphones.
That being said, music sounds rich and wonderful, vivid, textured, nuanced.
My only issue, with these, is the earcups padding is soft and comfortable but so sweaty after wearing for a relatively short time. A cooler material may have not offered the same seal, but I would be willing to forego a wee bit of enclosure for a less sweaty, longer distance wear.
For now, I'm just enjoying the silence (and the sweet sounds of the world which filter, gently, through).

First, CRAZILY priced... but that is what you almost expect with Bose products.
So I forked out the $300 to get these and died a little inside when I did. However, upon delivery I tried them out and the sound quality is pretty darn good. As others have noted- the bass level/quality is not fantastic- but I would expect that if this was of paramount concern you might look at other brands.
Where these excel is in noise-canceling. I travel a lot by plane for work- and these are fantastic for diminishing airplane noise. They reduce my felt fatigue and help me lower the volume of whatever I am listening to at the time.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone who expects to use them for the noise-canceling features- like air travel.

Bottom line. And you probably already know all of this:
1. You are primarily paying for active noise cancellation, probably the best in the business. 9/10
2. Comfort comes second - have yet to try on a more comfortable set of cans. 9/10
3. Sound quality third - Sound is great, until you try on a proper set of cans. 7/10
If sound quality is most important to you go and try the Audio Technica M50X (much better value and sound quality) or the Sennheiser Momentums (Over-ears not the on-ears, fantastic sound quality).
So depending on what you want, and how much money you have this is an excellent purchase or a good purchase.
I use these exclusively for travel (they make a huge difference watching movies in the air) but at home or where noise cancellation is not needed I much prefer the more balanced and fuller sound quality of the ATH-M50s...

QC25 is the best headphones out there, hands down! Bose' best noise cancelling headphones ever! They are comfortable, sizing is easily done and compared to the "Beats", not even close. The price is the same and FAR more comfortable and easier to use. Really hugs the ear in a comfortable manner and truly, cancels everything out around you. Dont' waste your time or money on OVER-hyped headphones, go for quality and sound! And big bonus, they work on anything, desktop, phone, gaming system, superbly done! I am coming from a really old pair of Sony headphones that last me a very longtime but now moving over to BOSE, I am a very happy customer! And remember to check the quality of the manufacturing, Bose are so solid.

There are two variants of the QC 25 headphones; one for Apple and one for Samsung devices. The only difference between the two is the cord - the headphones are identical.
The headphones themselves are excellent. Good range of sound and the noise cancelling works very well in office environments and on airplanes. The thing to watch out for is "the cord".
The Apple variant, due to the way that Apple designs their devices, will have more limited functionality when using it with non-Apple devices and you may experience that the microphone and the additional button do not work. For me, the buttons were not an issue, but an inability to use the microphone when connected to other devices was a major pain.
My solution was to return the Apple version and purchase the Samsung version which, despite it's name, works well across a broader array of devices (like my Xbox). I spent the $25 on the Apple cable, if I ever want to use the Microphone with my iOS devices.

Bose has made an excellent Noise cancellation Headphones. When you enable the noise cancellation switch only then you realize that all these days you were living in a noise polluted environment. It cancels 90% of the ambient noise.
BUILD: The headphone is very light weight and I think the BOSE engineers have focused mainly on the portability factor. The Ear cups are very soft and I do not see any clamping force while wearing it for more than 3 hours continuously.
SOUND QUALITY: The sound quality is perfect only when the noise cancellation feature is turned on. If you turn it off, i would rate it as only average sound quality.
Over all I am very happy with my purchase especially when you want Noise cancellation feature.I would strongly recommend this product and you will not regret for your purchase.
In fact i have purchased 3 of these headphones for Christmas deal of $269

I just overnighted these out of desperation due to increasing less than considerate and clueless office cubicle neighbors. Mail clerk dropped them off at my desk during a conference call, and immediately skipped customary unboxing ceremonial procedures, and switched them out from my ear buds. The transition was eerily comforting, granted I went from a ten dollar pair of earbuds to my first set of noise canceling headphones. The radio behind me and the high pitch gossip giggles across the hall were immediately silenced, not just deadened but actually gone.
Main reason I chose the Bose over similar models was the fact they can be used without the battery and the cord has the inline mic/remote. I wanted to go bluetooth, but didn't get a good feeling based on reviews and specs from different models. Plus I am accustomed to have the remote controls in line with the cord. Also, the size factor was important. Beats, Samsung, Plantronics comparable models all seem ridiculously huge, like its a status symbol or something.
One odd thing about using them to take a phone call, I couldn't hear my own voice over the noise cancellation, so I had to switch it off and move an ear cup whenever it was my turn to talk. Proved to be a little awkward during a conference call, but imagine this will be a non issue during one vs one calls.
After my conference call I had notes to write, so I turned on a White Noise track from my Spotify and was able to turn the volume down really low and found a sweet spot....
In short, these are worth the extra dollars if you have the funds. I am sure they are great for music and travel too...

I travel quite a bit for work, usually traveling across country 3-4 times a month. I struggled many times with standard in ear headphones not blocking the noise enough or not having great sound. So I finally bought these. I think the Bose has a far superior sound quality over Beats headphones. Beats may have more bass, but Bose has a cleaner and sharper bass. I also sampled many other ANR headsets in this price eange and with the limited time with each i can't say if any one is superior. My past of buying and using Bose pilot headsets, I went with Bose. I usually have to change my battery about once a month. After about 5 months of use, the right ear started cutting out. After calling Bose, i sent the headset in paying $9 shipping and they in turn sent me another brand new set ( although often it is refurbed units). The whole process took maybe 10 days. Now 2 months with new unit and so far flawless.

I'm not an audiophile (understatement of the decade). I'm not a technophile (my current iPhone 5 is the first smartphone I've ever owned.) I've never owned a pair of headphones before, noise-cancelling or otherwise. I was interested in these headphones for two reasons. First, I wanted to be able to listen to music and podcasts on my iPhone at work without bothering anyone else. Second, I travel some on business and I wanted a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to wear while flying to help block out background noises and to listen to in-flight movies/TV and listen to music/podcasts on my iPhone or laptop. Unfortunately, I haven't been on any trips lately, so I can't yet speak to the performance of the headphones during air travel.
The noise-cancelling feature works perfectly for me. It definitely eliminates or greatly reduces background noises, but, while voices are softened, I can still hear them well enough that people can easily get my attention.
The volume control on the cord works well and as it is intended to when using my iPhone. It does not work at all when using my HP laptop, so I have to adjust the volume using the volume control on the laptop. In order to get the volume below ear-splitting levels on my laptop, I have to lower the volume almost to nothing, so there is very little fine tuning of volume available when using the headphones on the laptop.
I did notice some reduction in sound quality when the noise-cancellation feature is off, but for me the headphones are still perfectly usable even if the battery goes dead. With noise-cancellation on, the sound quality is excellent (by my standards).
In order for these headphones to be really comfortable, I have to take my earrings off (even small ones that don't extend below the bottom of my ear lobe). If I'm going to wear them for any length of time, it also helps to take my glasses off.
The headphones are well made. They feel very solid when handling them. The hard-sided case is small enough to fit into my briefcase on a daily back-and-forth to work basis, but it's going to be a bit of a squeeze on business trips. I may have to shift a few things that I normally put in the briefcase over to my suitcase. Overall, I am satisfied with these headphones, although I have to admit that having to take my earrings off is a pain and may, in the end, reduce my use of the headphones.

Bottom line first: Disappointing. Really? Yes. Sound was a trifle muddy and highs/lows not as clean. I put this set to the test in comparing with my QC 15s. I was surprised to say the least. They've massaged the sound to soften it a bit but went too far. The QC 15s are bright compared. Yes, maybe too bright but I much prefer the clearer highs and lows. Mids are even clear. The 25s, seem to dull it down a bit. All functions work well and the phone operation works well. Volume is too low and must be turned up on all devices whether computer, audio source or phone. While the 15s don't have a phone feature, we really like the dual volume mode which the 25s don't. For the first time in my experience with Bose products, I can not recommend this product. That bothers me because they've been consistent over the years. There's nothing really wrong with them but why spend so much money when either the 15s or comparable product will do just as well for much less money. We not sure if it's because they've not been designed as well as the 15s or that they're made in China. Either way, they were a bit let down and I really feel, not in the Bose tradition.

these headphones should only be purchased for their noise canceling abilities. The sound quality is otherwise nothing special. The craftsmanship sucks. Literally it is garbage. My second pair has now gone dead in the right ear. Bose replaced the last ones, but that isn't the point. The highest end of a consumer-level (non-professional use) product should not be chintzy and poorly made, and they've been kept entirely in the accompanying Bose case when not in use or when being transported. My guess is that to fit them in the case properly, they pivot and swivel into a specified position, and that by doing so, some wire after a while becomes detached within the unserviceable housing of the headphones. Having one stop working is aggravating, having two go smacks of incompetent design and craftsmanship. Not what one expects with a $299 product which is at the top of the price range for consumer headphones (with maybe one or two exceptions), and definitely not what you'd expect from a company that appears to pride itself on quality and performance. I'd be wary and wouldn't buy them again after having two break. If you do get them, be sure to register the purchase with Bose, so you can take advantage of the warranty and get them replaced for free if they stop working. When they stop working be ready to wait for them to be shipped which takes 10 days.

Their noise cancelling and sound quality is great however the build quality is not.
I'm pretty good on audio - but I wouldn't call myself an audiophile. I've set up entire conference audio systems so in regards to music - well I haven't had to worry about using a crossover.
I've had two of these so far and both of them have ran into issues where one earpiece or the other stops working unless I press it in a peculiar gentle fashion.
This tells me there are loose contact points most likely and or low quality wire which doesn't play well over time with the swivel earpiece. Couple this with the fact that you have swivel the head each time you store or pull out your headphones.
I have been very responsible and caring of these so it always goes in the box when not in use.
Although last time Bose took my headphones but never shipped me out a new pair until I called them back. At that point somehow it was registered that my headphones had arrived but they just never sent them out. That was taken care of. But this second headset is running into the same problems.
I'm curious if the QC15's had a better build quality because I can still purchase those and for quite a bit less. Hopefully I can return these for a full refund if it goes bad again.

I am not the target demographic for these headphones; they cost more than my stereo receiver and I never would have even considered buying them. That said, my demo may have shifted because these sound so good I’m not sure I could ever go back to plain old earbuds. The sounds these headphones produce is rich and hits low bass and high treble without being loud. They are extremely comfortable and fit snugly over the ears without feeling tight, although I will say that given they are padded and fit around the ear, they do start to make me feel hot after a while, but they are effectively earmuffs so that is hardly surprising.
The headphones work in two modes powered (requires a single battery) and unpowered. The unpowered mode produces excellent sound, but in my layman’s terms seems somewhat less crisp. The powered mode produces a much richer sound and also actively dampens ambient noise. I decided to stress test this mode by wearing them while I mowed the lawn with a gas powered more. I’m not going to say that I couldn’t hear the mower, but it was dampened enough that I could hear the music I was listening to, something I could never accomplish with earbuds without completely blowing out my eardrums. I would imagine that the effect on an airplane would be comparable, and probably filter the bulk of the cabin noise.
There’s no denying that these are high end headphones, and I can’t say that they are for everyone. But if you are a serious audiophile I can say that you will not be disappointed with the Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones.

I purchased these directly from Amazon, (Seller was Amazon, fulfilled by Amazon) on 12/14/2014 as a Christmas gift for my wife. She has used them almost daily, that is until they stopped working on 08/27/2015. I troubleshot them by replacing the battery, confirm the contacts look good, confirming the head cables were seated, etc... But they would not power on.
So Friday, 08/28 I called Bose Support. I quickly (with almost no wait) got a tech based in the US. He quickly determined they were under warranty. The only thing I had to do was ship the headphones back to Bose, and they shipped a brand new pair with a new cable back to me.
Unlike a previous reviewer that said the warranty is void when buying from Amazon seems totally bogus in this case. The tech at Bose did NOT ask where I bought them from. Only thing he wanted to know was the serial number of the headphones.
So if you care / are keeping track...
I called Bose 08/28/2015
Shipped via UPS 2nd day on 08/28/2015 to the Bose depot in Yuma Arizona. They were delivered on 09/01/2015.
They in turn shipped via UPS ground a brand new pair (again w/ new cable), they were delivered to me on 09/09/2015.

These are simply amazing. It's hard to describe the experience of calmness that washes over me when I put these on and turn the active noise cancelling on. I work in an office environment and can sometimes get distracted by conversations around me. While these don't block out 100% of the background conversations it's like it turns the volume on those conversations down from 10 to 2.
Yes these are awesome for blocking out low, humming constant noise like on an airplane, I knew that. I did feel like I was taking a risk by buying these for helping me concentrate in the office since that's not really what they're rated for but I think they work great for just those purposes. It's not total silence but I didn't expect that. I expected the ability to focus on my work and these have helped me do that.
Active noise cancelling + some music = focus on work. Now my biggest distraction is getting lost in the music. ;-)
PROS:
* Active noise cancelling works extremely well
* Headphones are comfortable
* Integrated Apple controls (play/pause, volume up/down)
* Included cable is a good length
* Included case holds these securely
CONS:
* Music sounds good, not great. Not much bass in some of the hiphop I listen to. But I really wanted these for the noise cancelling anyway so this isn't a huge deal to me.
* Expensive at list price and tough to find discounts. But these work really well so I can get over that
* The whole package is big. Over the ear cans plus case are large but no way to really get around that. I can't fit it in my bag so I'll probably get a carabiner to clip the case onto my bag
* AAA batteries. I wish these were Lithium Ion that you could recharge via AC/USB but I guess the convenience of being able to toss a new, widely available AAA in the airport trumps that.
Cons are by no means deal breakers and don't stop me from giving this 5 stars.

I was about to return these because I would get dizzy and nauseous whenever I put them on. But after a week or so of straight use I got used to them and now I dont feel any pressure basically when using them.
However, I think there may be multiple versions of the QC25, because the second pair I got after I exchanged the first pair: the sound was far superior even when I turned off the noise cancellation and it just seemed "newer", for example, the power button on the second pair seemed more sturdy and needed more force to change it from on to off. The ear pads also seemed newer and more sturdy. So maybe I originally got a pair that was returned and re-stocked or there is a difference in the 2016 models from the 2014 models.
