The headphone jack (where the cord plugs into the headphones) is defective. I returned the first one for a replacement, then had to return the second pair for a refund. Another employee where I work had the same problem and returned his. The problem is that when the cord plugs into the headphones it doesn't make a firm connection - if you jiggle the cord, one or both sides of the stereo sound will cut out. Then you have to wiggle the plug in the jack until you get both stereo sides back again and try not to disturb it. Sometimes you have to twist the plug in the jack until it comes back again. This occurred even if I inserted the plug firmly and felt it click into place. Since I've seen this on three new sets the jack build into the headphones is obviously a defective part.
It's too bad because otherwise these are five stars. I got them just before I left on a trip and used them on the plane - the noise cancellation was great at getting rid of the rumble of the jet engines and the sound quality listening to music or movies (once I fiddled with the jack to get it working) was first rate. The battery life was phenomenal - the one battery lasted the whole trip (over a week using daily). I finally changed it before the flight back even though it hadn't died yet - didn't want to have to change on the flights.
I sure that Bose is getting feedback on this problem and will fix their manufacturing process to eliminate this issue. Meanwhile you might want to put off buying these right now or at least check to see if you have this problem as soon as you receive them.

I'll make this review concise.
I purchased this headphone back in April. After a few use, I noticed skin rashes around my ear because of the ear pads. I stopped using it because the rashes were rather severe. I was surprised that Bose would use a cheap material on their 300 dollar headphone. This is why I am taking a star off.
I've fixed this problem by purchasing a 3rd-party replacement earpads from Amazon for about 10 bucks. They work great and now I don't have the rash problem.
Noise cancellation : it's not a fluke. This will probably be the best noise-cancelling headphone you can find out there. My workplace has a lot of source of ambient noise : testing equipment, computer fans, ventillation fans, fans from soldering station, etc (I'm an engineer). This headphone suppresses most of these noise down to 10% or lower. It does not work well on high-frequency sound, but it definitely blocks the lower frequency sound very well.
pros
- noise cancellation allows hearing music and music alone without being disturbed by the surround noise. It works very well!
- very portable. the cable is just the right length, and the cups are not too big so hat you won't look like a teletubby.
cons
- the quality of the sound is not as good as other 300 dollar range headphones like Sennheiser HD600 and AKG 601. It's not as full or crisp. I think it's comparable to other $150 dollar range headphone if you turn on the noise cancellation.
- without the noise cancellation turned on, this headphone sounds worse than my ATH M80 that I bought for 70 bucks. Bose really optimized the sound so that the headphone should be used with the noise cancellation on.
Think of this as a $150 headphone with the additional $150 for superb noise cancellation.

I appreciate music as much as about anyone else. I also spend a fair amount of time running a noisy power tool to cut trees. I normally use a very high quality pair of Shure earbuds to supply my music while also wearing a set of hearing protection. It finally occurred to me that a set of these Bose QuietComfort 25 Noise Cancelling Headphones would be a great combination of splendid music and hearing protection. So, I ordered a set from Amazon. I will say that MOST Amazon transactions are pleasurable and trouble-free. That was not the case in this particular purchase. However; I will say that the Amazon customer service REALLY rose up and did everything possible to alleviate the problems encountered. I say a hearty "Thank you!" to Amazon's customer service.
As to the Bose Headphones...Oh, my! Wonderful, awesome sound. The Shure earbuds were great, but obviously in a different class as far as size and ability to place larger and multiple speakers in each ear cup. Also, the Noise Cancelling works amazingly well for my application. I didn't realize how well until the battery used to power the Noise Cancelling feature lost power as I worked last night. I couldn't believe how loud the machine was when the Noise Cancelling quit functioning.
Fortunately, I ran out of battery, fuel, and daylight at the same time and headed back to the vehicle. I installed a fresh AAA battery and the Noise Cancelling feature was back functioning perfectly well. The sound of the music did not appear to be negatively affected, with exception of the tremendously increased volume of machine noise.
My fine quality noise protection headphones will now be relegated to "Dust Gatherer Emeritus"
My only regret is that I didn't do this earlier.

This is the highly anticipated noise canceling over the ear headphone made by Bose specifically for mobile devices. They can, of course, be used for any listening, but the case, the way they fold up to the most portable size possible given the over the ear design and their light weight all contribute to them being targeted for the mobile user.
The key to any headphone is how they sound. Here we have a controversy because they surely and definitely have 'the Bose sound'. This is an audio profile which is loved by most of the public but disliked by hard core audiophiles almost universally. Most folks find the Bose sound to be rich and smooth. The hard core guys think that the lows are muddy and the highs non-existent. You can read reviews of almost any Bose product and tell whether the review was written by a person who simply enjoys music (they will like it) or those to who audio is a hobby and maybe even an obsession (they won't).
So there you have the line. These are a beautifully made set of headphones which have had great attention to detail paid in every aspect from fit, finish to how they fold up and of course, how the function. Just handling them is an asthetic treat. I found listening with them to be an equal treat but I have at least one friend who will only listen to vinyl, piles bricks on his amplifier and spends more on his speakers than his car who'd screech at me like a boiled owl for saying that.
There is a major difference between how these sound power on or off. The power on activates the noise canceling aspect and also brightens the sound a significant amount. The noise canceling is superior to say the least. Unlike most technologies which work only on constant noise, the Bose tech works well on variable sounds such as speech as well. Powered by one AAA battery rated at 35 hours life, the headphones go from nothing special power off to wonderful sound isolated from your surroundings when switched on. There is an inline three way switch with microphone to control sound level, speak on a cell phone or change tracks depending on which device is being listened to.
My dB meter cannot work inside the ear cup so I have to estimate the amount of average sound attenuation. I'd guess 20 dB, but I can't be sure. The reduction in ambient noise does make a good deal of difference but the tech blocking variable sounds mean you won't hear people speaking to you as easily as with the more common sound reduction tech and also these would be dicey to use walking where there's traffic. From here on, though, these 'phones will be with me from the start of any airplane trip until the end. No more droning engines at 80 dB or worse, muttering crowds in terminals punctuated by screaming TV talking heads.
As befits a high end device, the case is well thought out, fits the 'phones well and has storage for an adapter and a spare battery. By all means, carry that battery so if yours quits, you have another.
In sum, these are beautifully crafted, aesthetically pleasing superb sounding headphones with superior noise canceling technology. Without a doubt, they will meet with disapproval from the Usual Suspects but that's the fate of all products with the Bose brand. If I had my way, I'd prefer a bit more crisp at the high end, but I'm perfectly satisfied even as is. Great job, Bose.

UPDATE ADDED BELOW FEB 2016
So, back in Chicago, I bought a pair of these as a change to my usual passive in-ear travel noise reducers.
Wore them for the seven hours home, and have given them about 100 hours burn in now. They're not as musically impressive as my lovely open-backed Sennheiser HD600s, that's no surprise and not a like-for-like comparison but blimey, what a fun pair of headphones these Bose Quiet Comfort 25 noise cancellers are. I never liked the slightly sterile audio quality of the previous QC15s much and apparently Bose sound engineers agreed because this replacement model is instead full of lively pace. They romp along, straight out of the box a bit harsh on the treble but thats already relaxed somewhat and become crisp where it was at times crunchy. The bass is very controlled and precise but still with that sprinting pace I mentioned. The soundstage is excellent and there's a well structured consistency of detail through the range.
The noise cancelling though? Wow.
I've always used proper shove-in ear buds for blocking sound on planes and found Monster Turbines excellent for that. Very musical headphones with deep bass that stays controlled and fast. But they get uncomfortable over a long flight and popping one out to say 'yes' to a free beer or to a weird meal is a pain in the ear. The weird thing about the QC25s is that, with music not playing, you can hear direct conversation towards and near you but you hear none of the engine drone; whereas with the Turbines, I can hardly hear anything at all even when the music is off.
For casual travel where a light bag is still preferable, then the Turbines are still in but for any sort of a flight or a long train ride - these Bose jobbies will absolutely be slapped on my head. They really did make the flight home much more relaxed than it might otherwise have been.
Target had them set up with a brilliant demo too: you put them on and then activated a video with the sound coming from the headphones. The video shows a bloke sitting on a flight with his QC25s on looking comfy and smug. All you can hear in the headphones is the reassuring narrator, who then tells you to take them off. You do, only to discover that all the while you've had the cans on, the display unit has been feeding a roaring aircraft interior noise to an external speaker... you just couldn't hear that because you'd got your QC25s on. Incredibly effective demo.
UPDATE FEB 2016
Used these over hundreds of hours now during the last year and wanted to report in: the sound continues to be enormously engaging, pacy and satisfyingly detailed. They're fun to listen to, it certainly doesn't feel like a massive compromise as noise cancellers once did.
Despite thousands of miles, by air and rail, and constant hauling in and out of bags and cramped seat back pockets; they look pretty much as new. I was a bit worried the white finish might tarnish but it hasn't even slightly.
Great headphones, still delighted and still highly recommended.

I had a few trips lined up this year to Taiwan and Japan. I'm a somewhat frequent flier and I've always disliked the engine noise back in coach and regular ear buds just don't help at all, in fact they make it worse because I have to turn the volume up and I don't even realize how loud they are until after landing, by then my ears are bleeding. Regular headphones work to a point but if I have to be on a plane for over 13 hours I'm going to treat myself. I got to LAX and had a 5 hour layover and sprung for these in white. I had some video content loaded on my iPhone so I watched that for 3/4 of the trip, then fell asleep. First time I've ever really slept on a plane. When we landed and as I was walking to the border control checkpoint at Taipei terminal I realized how good I felt. I just flew for a combined 19 hours and a long layover in LAX and while I can't say I was ready for an evening out on the town, I can say that I've always felt much worse after the 5 or 6 hours of a domestic flight. I didn't have that exhaustion that I always have after even a couple hours flight.
These were the best investment I could have made for traveling, and a bargain at $300 given I have 5 more trans-pacific flights to make by the end of this year.
For you audiophiles out there looking at these, take note: these are not for you if you are looking for huge bass, perfect treble and perfect balance at all ranges. These are not going to blast your ears off with perfect sound. These are for people who want quiet, and very good sound for music and movies. It's kind of silly to ding a product in a review based on a standard that the manufacturer never intended. Bose does not market these that way so you should not expect it. When the phones are turned off, yea, the music sounds pretty bad. Turn them on and the quiet created by the noise cancelling allows you to really hear the details of the audio without having to blast the volume and make your ears bleed. That's what these headphones are all about, quiet for quality sound.

Bose Quiet Comfort 25 review: unsatisfactory
The good: cancels noise as marketed, good sound reproduction as marketed.
The bad: Where do I begin? I have purchased Bose headphones before and was an advocate of their excellent quality, so much so, I decided last year to purchase a pair of QC 25s from Amazon. Initially I was very impressed: the noise cancellation removed the ambient server fan whirring from the office and at home it would provide a crystal clear soundtrack to downloaded movies. However, this was not to last. Four to five months in, the noise cancellation started to falter intermittently and then eventually the right channel stopped working altogether. Having paid a premium for these I was surprised that they broke so quickly.
I went to the Flagship Regent Street store and was given a replacement pair, unfortunately, three to four months later these failed too with the right channel rendered obsolete. Checking forums and other Amazon reviews, it would appear that others have also experienced the same issues as I have. Today I took them back to the Regent Street store only to be told by a member of staff that they could not offer me a refund there and then because I bought them through Amazon! She did offer me a replacement pair, but having already stated that my experience is that they break after three months I declined. She then told me to call customer services, because there was absolutely nothing they could do in the Flagship store to offer me a refund for my defective headphones.
So here I am with a pair of £276 headphones that only work in one ear (the left one). Dear Bose under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) goods you supply must be fit for purpose. The ones I have are not fit for purpose, I do hope you will give me a refund. I would have also accepted an alternative item of similar value, but you were so intent in avoiding refunding me that you failed to entertain the notion.

Ok here's the deal. I'm not an audiophile. I work in an office and I have talkative office mates that I really want to be quiet. But I can't tell them to be quiet, because that's not polite. So I wanted a pair of noise cancelling headphones. I still feel weird dropping $300 for a pair of headphones. But let me tell you: these are the best thing in the damned world. They don't silence the outside world, but you REALLY have to focus on conversations around you to be hear them. I thought they were pretty good and then I took them to a noisy cafe. This is when they turned from pretty good to the most amazing purchase in the world. I sat next to a whole table of talkative college students and I couldn't hear a single word they were saying.
The music quality doesn't blow me away...but then again, I'm not really sure what to listen for. They sound really good. The bass is warm, the treble is detailed but not overpowering. There is a significant difference in sound quality between noise-cancelling and regular mode, but that is to be expected, and you won't get it any other way with any other brand.
NOW. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I tried other headphones. I don't mean that I tried them at the store...I mean that I had friends give me their headphones to try. The most important things to me were comfort (I wear them for long periods of time) and noise-cancelling. Hands-down, these are the most comfortable headphones I have ever put on my head. I could wear them to sleep. Other headphones (audio-technica and Sony brands, specifically) just had no comparison. These are light, surround my entire ear, and I sometimes forget I have them on. They don't make my ears sweat (gross, I know) and there is no irritation. As for the noise-cancelling, they are simply the best. "Noise isolation" is a joke relative to these.
As for the battery life...I've been listening to music for at least four hours a day over the past week and just left them on overnight by accident, and the battery level isn't even low. Trust me, battery life is not an issue.
If you feel weird dropping a lot of money on headphones, you are not alone. But if you are looking to stop noisy office mates, you are also not alone. Like I said, they aren't going to stop the noise...but they will silence them to the point where you really have to focus on their conversation to make out any words. And I'm listening at medium-volume!
The ONLY bad thing I have to say about them is that the microphone and audio controls don't work great with my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I've heard reports of it working with other phones. There is probably a work-around. But let's be honest: if you've read this far, you aren't buying these for talking on the phone. You are buying them to shut people up. And they do it.

In many ways I really want to give the Bose QuietComfort headphones 5 stars... but I have tested way too many other, equally excellent, headphones that were sold at a much lower price to just stamp 5 stars on to the Bose. The thing I really struggle with is that despite really enjoying the Bos QuietComfort 25's.... I think I still prefer my VModa M100's (which at the time of this review.... cheaper). However, the Bose definitely have a couple of advantages.
Notes/Observations (I am using the VModa M100's as a comparison)
Sound performance - The Bose QuietComfort 25 are nice and clean.... they are neither boomy or bright. This is where they get a bit of an unfair comparison to the M100's which has a unbelievable sound stage. This one of those concepts that is tough to explain, but the M100's just seem to have more of a 3D effect and all of the instruments/tones have greater depth. The Bose are not bad (quite good in fact) but they are no match for the M100's. The sound stage does improve with about 20 hours of break in.
Noise Cancelling - Probably the best I have ever used. The M100s do not feature active noise cancelling (which is the reason for the lower price point). In my book they beat my Velodynes and a few other pairs of noise canceling headphones that I have tried.
Comfort - The fit is excellent and they are not too heavy - however - noise canceling does cause a bit of a (what appears to be) a positive pressure inside the cans. Not a big of a deal, but it can give you the feel in your ears that you are changing altitudes. Some people find this more annoying than others.
Case/Footprint - I love the fact the fold into a neat case that is the size of a small paperback (and it is rectangular). Unlike the M100's they fit very nicely in a backpack or travel bag.
Look - not important to me.... but they look professional. They do not have that hip - going to the club look - of Beats or even the M100's.
Final vedict - My go-to choice of headphones for travel because of their superior noise cancellation and reduced footprint. However, for my day-to-day listening I reach for the VModa M100's .... Honestly, you really can't go wrong with either!

Wow! I've owned and tested quite a few headphones over the years and a number of them have implemented noise cancelling technology, but these Bose QC25 headphones are light years ahead of any I've ever put over my ears. Full disclosure compels me to say that most of the headphones, including NC varieties, have not exceeded the $200 price point, so that needs to be considered. If the extra cost involved in truly eliminating ambient noise has been the missing link in my previous experiences, then I am a new convert and a real believer. What I'm saying is this: the extra cost is well worth it. These headphones are at the top of the list for this feature set.
But, how do they sound? They sound great. The noise cancellation helps to set the foundation to hear what you want to hear and not be in competition with other sounds or noises. You start with a "blank canvas" and you get the most pure of pictures...you see the "colors" you paint unobstructed by competing "colors." The sounds you hear from these headphones are very similar to that illustration. I have other headphones that are more bass driven, but those headphones cover some of the mids and treble sounds that color the music I want to hear. I suppose personal preferences are going to be the driver here, but I am very, very excited about what my ear is being treated to with these Bose QC25 headphones. I am super impressed and excited about a brave new world I've not experienced before.
Comfort and fit are what I would expect from Bose. These are not middle shelf equipment and Bose delivers a finely crafted headset and very comfortably fitting as well. Nothing seems cheap or cost-cutting in my estimation. Bose has also included a nice semi-hard case for carrying the headphones when not in use. The case is surprisingly compact and fits nicely in my backpack and messenger bag. Also included is a airlines input jack converter for the traveler (I can't wait to try these out on a flight as I usually have to crank the volume to unsafe levels to drown out the horrendous ambient airline noise).
Final thoughts: These are the real deal and worth every penny. If I'd known noise cancellation could work at this level, I'd have been all in a long time ago. This is no gimmick folks, Bose is paving the way for me to venture into a whole new experience...one I'm glad to go along for the ride.

I had really fell in love with these headphones after trying them out a few times, so I decided to buy one for myself. The packaging is nice, it comes with a small bag for you to put it in and the cable is removable. I was really excited to plug them in, and the hype really paid off. That was before the earpads started falling apart about a year later, almost as if it had leprosy. Now I have to buy a replacement pair for those, which cost $35 on Bose's website.
After unboxing it and trying the headphones on my phone, I decided to try them out on my computer, which has a better sound card. The sound card is able to toggle between high and low impedance, so I went to check what was the impedance of QC25's speakers. Bose's website didn't help at all and apparently not even the all-knowing Google has any idea what the impedance is. So, I plugged them in on the low impedance setting, which apparently wasn't right because it sounded absolutely unbearable, but I'm also too afraid to try them on the high impedance setting, because it might be just a problem with my sound card and it might fry the circuits of the headphones. At this point I'm stuck with the audio quality of my phone and poorly built headphones.
Also, using them without the noise cancellation turned on is not a good idea. It sounds lifeless and muffled, as if you were listening to music through a speaker with a pillow in front of it.

I usually don't write a lot of reviews for things I buy, but I was compelled to write one for these headphones. Not because of how great they are, but how mediocre their quality is in my opinion. I would like to give a word of caution to everyone considering these headphones. I currently own a pair of Bose QuietComfort 25 headphones. I have had to get these headphones replaced twice in less than two weeks because of issues with the headphones. I bought the first pair of QuietComfort 25 headphones just over two months ago from Best Buy. They worked great for two months and then one fine day they just died. Bose customer care was kind enough to swap them for new ones because they were still under warranty. I then got the new ones in about two weeks after I spoke with them on the phone. I had used the second pair for less than a day when I started noticing weird problems with it. The noise canceling would stop when I tapped the headphones lightly or when I tried to adjust the headphones. If I was listening to music the music would stop as well. So I returned the second pair in less than two days of receiving it. Bose customer care was kind enough to swap them again for new ones(but this time I was charged a shipping fee even though I received faulty equipment). I finally got the third pair today. I opened the box a few minutes ago and within less than five minutes of using it I have noticed the same problem happening again. The music/noise canceling stops when I lightly tap my headphones or when I move my head or try to adjust my headphones. I'm quite frustrated and I don't want to call their customer care and go through the swap process again (and who knows what and how much I will have to pay for this time). This is my first purchase from Bose and it has been a less than a pleasant experience. I paid close to $300 for these headphones, and have been quite underwhelmed. The headphones were great while they worked, but I cannot help but think that there is a bigger problem here with their manufacturing.

Being that I have the Bose QC15, the reviews on the QC25 had me wondering if it would behoove me to upgrade.
The long of the short is: I did upgrade. I ended up purchasing the QC25 locally at BB (same price). The factors that I considered in upgrading were: I own an iPhone 6 Plus, the QC25 compact headphone case and more importantly, the ability to listen to the headphones even if the battery dies on you.
Using the Bose QC25 with my iPhone has been wonderful. The mic on the cord has three controls. An up arrow, down arrow, and the center button. Up/down arrow for volume control. The center button for manipulating the controls on the iPhone while listening to the headphones. In the music mode, you can skip tracks, repeat tracks, pause, and more - all from the center button. While listening to the music and a call comes in, the music is reduced alerting you to a call, and you simply hit the center button and answer your call. You can hit the center button to end the call and continue your music. You can also use the center button to engage Siri. If you need to make a call, just hold the button and Siri comes on. Tell Siri what you want to do and go from there. It's simply slick and easy to use.
One of the problems I've had with my QC15 is that I tend to forget to turn it off which results in a dead battery. WHat do I do? I end up going to one of those Hudson stores at the airport and pay an exorbitant amount of money for some AAA batteries. Now, if I forget, I can just use the head phone for music or movies (albeit, no noise suppression) but I am no longer sitting on a plane with a useless headphone due to a dead battery. Granted, it isn't as loud or clear as it is with a battery but it sure beats the alternative.
Others have commented about using this for conference calling. I use it often for conference calls while plugged into my iPhone. Everyone has stated that they hear me loud and crystal clear. All the more reasons I'm very pleased with this set of Bose QC25.
Last but not least, the compact headphone case. It's nice that the right ear cup is designed to fold in so that you can put these headphones in a compact case. It doesn't take up as much room in my backpack. Some have commented that it's not as easy to place your headphones in this case, but I've not had that experience. Very pleased with Bose's well thought out design changes and improvements.
PROS: Design, compact case, intuitive mic controls, compatibility with iPhones, battery options
CONS: None noted.

**When plugging in the headphone cable to the headphones, apply extra force until you feel it click into place. It feels like to much force but it's not! This will fix the audio cutting out in right ear cup!**
Build quality- These headphones have a metal outer ear cup, and high quality plastic trim. The headphones band is strong, with premium cloth on the top and padding on the bottom. They are a very well built pair of headphones.
Audio Quality- I'm not an audiophile by any means, but these headphones have amazing audio quality. Highs and mids are highlighted a little, but are balanced with lows.You can find better sound quality at this price range, but these are noise cancelling headphones, and you will be very pleased with the audio quality.
Comfort- These headphones are among the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. The light weight, soft headband, and comfortable ear cups allow you to listen as long as you want, with out getting fatigue.
Noise cancelling- I'll get straight to the point with this, it is the best noise cancelling you will find in a pair of headphones. It completely cuts out low noises such as airplane engines, air conditioners and traffic. High pitched and sudden noises cannot be totally cut out, but they are suppressed.
Extra info- The headphones come with a very premium feeling carrying case, along with a aaa battery and an airline adapter. Make sure to get the right pair for your device too if you want the in-line audio controls and mic to work.

Best casual headphones money can buy. Bose's sound and quality can't be beat! A few years ago I purchased a set of Bose ae2 headphones. I enjoy putting my headphones on and playing along on my drums. Well, the ae2's worked and sounded great to use for drumming and yard work. But they didn't quite cancel the noise as much as I'd prefer. So I decided to sell the ae2's and buy a pair of these QC25's, for the noise cancelling feature. These headphones are UNREAL! They keep everything that you want to hear, in, and what you don't want to hear, out. I highly recommend these headphones, if you're picky like me and don't like hearing all the background noise. The nice thing is, you can turn the noise cancellation on and off, so if you want to hear the background noise, you have the option. They are very light weight and comfortable to wear for hours, compared to my old pair of Skullcandy Hesh headphones that would start to hurt my ears just 30-40 minutes of wearing them. I wear glasses and the Hesh's would put a lot of pressure on my ear against my glasses and make my ears very sore, both pair of Bose I've owned never bothered my ears while wearing my glasses. The storage/travel case is nice, durable and convenient as it has a spot to store the airplane adapter and an extra aaa battery. And the headphones work great for phone calls as well.

AWESOME. Totally exceeded my expectations after trying them out on a long haul flight.
I have wanted a set of headphones for a while and I decided to try some of the noise cancelling sets. I tried a few and I narrowed my choice down to the QC25 and I was very impressed with the sound quality and I found the noise cancelling switch pretty awesome when using it in the home. The next day after I purchased these bad boys I was going on a long haul flight. The plane started to fill up and as always start to check who is sat around whilst crossing my fingers and hoping that there wasn't going to be any young children or coughers. Obviously its harder to tell the coughers or should I say smokers on an initial look but after 5 or 6 hours when there throats start to clear you soon hear them in their sickly cough. We was just about to take off and the stewardess moved a child and his mother two rows in front and was making a playful racket playing with his Teddy bear. I risked the rath of the stewardesses and popped on my head phones and popped on the noise cancelling button. Wow just wow! it wasn't silence but it was an incredible amount better. I could hardly hear the child playing. I turned off the headphones and qued up a song to play and listened to a song whilst waiting for the engine to power up and then when it did I turned the noise cancelling on and it was absolutely amazing the plane pulled off for take off and I could hardly hear any of the noise from the acceleration or climb and if it wasn't for the vibrations of the plane I could almost of forget where I was. Usually throughout flights I try and sleep but I am frequently woken up and I can honestly say that I have never had as good a sleep on a plane before in my life as I did withnusing the QC25 headphones. I slept for a solid four hours and I was only woken by my wife who had got a little fidgety on the seat adjacent. I downloaded some long tracks of waves crashing and had them playing on low with the noise cancelling switched on and this definitely aided me in my sleep. I didn't just buy these headphones to cancel out noise though. The quality of the music is also top notch. There may be better ones out there but for the noise cancelling side I would definitely recommend buying these.

I used the Bose QC 15 earphones until the ear pads and the head cushion fell apart (about 15 years). The 25 is definitely a considerable improvement in all ways. The price is high, but, look, way back when I paid $150.00 for the previous Bose earphones. These items have never been cheap.
My assessment is purposely based upon what I consider an ultimate test -- a monaural disc of a 1952 recital by Rosalyn Tureck playing Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Books 1 & 2. With the 15s the middle-to-upper notes sounded rather tinny. This does not happen with the 25 -- the notes in question have the "woody" sound of a great piano that they should have; also the piano's base notes are much deeper and richer. I am especially pleased inasmuch as I consider Tureck to be the greatest Bach interpreter of them all, and the Clavier Books are, along with the Goldberg Variations, THE quintessential keyboard Bach. Other classical recordings sound superb, as well.
I will also add that the ambient sound reduction is certainly better. I tested this by standing next to a rather noisy furnace with the sound turned on, but with no music playing. The 15s did block the noise fairly well. The 25s blocked it entirely.
I think those who review equipment like this should provide information about the sound source and the kind of ambient noise involved. As far as I am concerned, those listening to anything other than classical music need not bother to review earphones of this quality at all.

There's not much else to say besides that these headphones are unbelievable. These headphones are just that good. Seriously, words can't describe these things. So, I'll try my best.
These headphones are, personally, the best you can buy. They look great. They sound great. There built with genuine bose quality. You can't say much more.
These headphones truly do cancel out most of the noise around you. However, it must be said that when not listening to anything, just noise canceling, you can still hear some noises, such as people talking on the tv. But if the noise you are trying to not hear is a more constant and consistent then you may not here it at all. And while you can here some noises, they are so quiet, you may need to stain your hearing to hear them.
The sound quality is great. Most of my songs are digital, and there are times where I think I need a higher quality song download to truly take advantage of these headphones. It is very good. But, when the headphones are turned off, you do notice a slight decrease in sound quality, but for me, at least, I could care less. Meaning I have heard much much worse, trumst me. This is my first pair of truly good headphones, and I'm a slight audiophile.
Build quality is what I would expect from bose, and, quite frankly, for $300. The headphones them selves are made of a high quality plastic but are also capped on the outside with metal. The hinges are also made of metal. The headband and ear cups are made well too. Even the cord is flexible and ever so slightly thicker as well.
They also don't have comfort in there name for no reason. These are truly the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I can were these things for an hour straight and not have any pain on my head or ears. The cushioning is just right, pliable enough to be comfy but just the right amount of stiffness as well.
I also ask why people look at other brands because when you want the best quality sound and the best noise canceling technology you should only look at the best. Bose literally invented the noise canceling headphones.
While these headphones are amazing, I must not tell a lie. While more my fault, I am a little sad that these don't work with my phone, I mean the buttons. The box and bose clearly state, " made for iPod, iPhone, and iPad" they also are supposed to work with other phones as well but I must just have bad luck. My phone is a nokia lumia 928 Windows phone. Also, the warranty could be a little longer and a little more flexible for a flagship product. But I'm not going to down grade my rating just for that.
I hope I helped, and hope you love these headphones as much as I do. I hope to update a little later!

These headphones are amazing! They're the most comfortable pair I've ever owned. You can wear them for hours and your ears won't hurt even slightly. The noise cancelling feature is also incredible. Even without it turned on, they still naturally cancel quite a bit of noise because of the seal the ear cups have when you put them on. They don't make you totally deaf of course, you can still hear some muffled stuff. But that's normal and obviously you're not gonna find headphones that make everything totally silent.
As for the sound quality, they're amazing in that regard as well. Although I've never owned $300 headphones before this, so I don't really have anything else high-end to compare them to. But I can't imagine them sounding any better.
I noticed a few reviews on here mentioning one of the ears going out (usually the right one) either right out of the box or very shortly into their lifespan. I have yet to have this issue (or any for that matter). If you are having this issue, make sure your cable is plugged into the headphones all the way. It's kind of an awkwardly-angled port. It has to make a clicking sound or it isn't in all the way.
Anyway, no complaints as of yet. I've only owned these for a week, so unless something goes wrong with them, my general opinion is: BUY THESE RIGHT AWAY! Awesome sound quality, awesome noise cancelling, very comfortable fit, and they feel very durable yet lightweight. I definitely recommend these!

I LOVE these earphones when they are working. I use them very regularly while studying to reduce ambient noise and enhance my ability to concentrate on the material at hand.
But as things stand, I'm currently on my third pair of them (all replaced under the 1 year warranty) in just eight months of ownership. I always keep the headphones in their case when they are not in use. They've never been dropped, etc. Both of the failed headphone sets had the right earphone go out after similar amounts of use, and I suspect this is due to a short in a wire due to the folding mechanism stretching cables. Bose made me pay for shipping on the second pair, but were otherwise happy to replace both defective headphones.
This is my second Bose product. The first was an expensive pair of in-ear earphones that broke once during the warranty period, and again a few months later just outside of the warranty. Bose declined to cover the cost of replacement once they were out of the warranty. I want to like Bose products, but the construction quality and/or durable design is just not present. I was hoping their highest end headset would be of higher durability, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I wanted to give this product 5 stars, but I cannot do so unless Bose addresses quality issues. When I pay $300 for headphones, I really expect them to last *far* more than a few months.
Pros:
-Very comfortable for long periods of wear
-Decent sound quality
-Amazing cancellation of ambient noise
-Fairly compact when in the included case
-Detachable audio cable
-1 battery is included to get you started
Cons:
-Flaw in design or product quality has led to two replacements in a short period of time.
-$300 (+shipping when they break) is a lot of money for something you will likely need to replace yearly
-Shipping is not paid for by Bose when the product fails

Five EFFECTIVE Stars! One Year Later: still one of the very best sets of headphones available. These very comfortable white and silver-colored QC 25 Acoustic Headphones use Boise's active "noise cancelling” technology which is applied by ouching a switch and also has passive noise canceling in low noise environments. They are advertised as made for iPhone, iPad, iPod and have pivoting and swiveling headphone cups. The headphones expand 2 inches on each side of the headband for users with larger heads, or have more hair, if possible. They are powered by one AAA battery which provides for up to 35 hours of playtime and beyond in the case of unpowered use. Some characteristics areaa; internally marked Left (L) and Right (R) headphone cups, "on/off" switch on the right cup, padded areas where the headphones touch the ears and head, ear cups which are made of very soft material and can pivot inward to form a smaller side-by-side storage profile to fit flat into the nicely-appointed, zippered Bose case. It also comes with a 58 inch long audio cable with one end specific to the Bose headphones and the "L" end for plugging into the transmitting device or plugging into the airline seat audio feed using the provided 2-pronged black plug (which has a compartment in the zippered carrying case and room for an extra battery.
In a room with a loud radio playing, the noise-canceling feature cut the sound by more than 90% of the original sound which makes it actually "deeply-reduced sound" instead of being totally "noise-cancelling" headphones, but again it certainly cuts the unwanted sound/noise way down.
On listening to different music genres, there is a very wide frequency response with an unadjustable booming bass quality to the lower end of the sonic spectrum and clear, sharp upper spectrum sound. The sound quality must be adjusted, outside of the capability of the headphones, by using the transmitting source equalizer or pre-am functionality, if available. The stereo separation is sharp and the sound quality is high, revealing some music sounds that were hidden or masked when listening to normal speaker sound across the room. When listening to music, the noise dampening feature is still in effect, playing music while lessening sounds outside of the headphones.
These headphones come with a specific blue-colored audio 58 inch long cable which has a volume control pod near the user's hrs chin area that includes a microphone, separate up and down volume buttons and telephone center call "off" button.These are excellent headphones are smaller than many headphones used on home audio systems and outstanding for reducing noise or listening to music or receiving phone calls. Bose quality audio product. My Highest Recommendation. Five QUIET Stars! (I pair of Bose QC 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones, 58 inch long headset to transmitting source audio cable, a two-pronged jack for Airplane audio plug-in, included AAA battery, and zippered soft protective carrying case. 1 year warranty for original purchaser.)

I always wanted to own a Bose noise cancelling headphones. However, I didn't want to spend that much money. My wife gave me the quietcomfort 25 as an Aniversary present and I was totally thrilled. I don't know how to rate this product. I love everything about them. They are comfortable and the sound quality is great. However, there is problem with the cable jack or the jack receptical. The sound goes off and I have to touch the cable jack to get sound back. Every time I move, the sound goes off. So, I honestly don't know if I will keep them.
Any suggestions from other users?
**************UPDATED***************
I didn't want to return them due to the fact that the sound is great and they are really confortable. So, after researching for a couple of days I found this:
"We have found that connecting the cable to the headset may require an extra amount of pressure to properly seat into the earcup. If you carefully, but firmly, press the connector into its socket at the earcup until a slight click is felt the issue you have described will be resolved"
So, if you pressure enough till the click is felt, you will end with the jack receptical problems.
I will update in a couple of months to see if the right ear brreaks.

I'm going to be critical of these only because they cost so much and they're meant to be the most up-to-date noise cancelling headphones for the general public.
These are immensely comfortable, and definitely more compact than the previous model. However, without turning on the noise cancelling I already can't hear very much. The only thing turning on the noise cancelling does is filter out resonating low hums like engine noises and make sounds generally a bit harder to hear. This would be great if I were in an aeroplane. However, I'm autistic and I need to use these for any frequencies which are consistent, so high pitched noises are sometimes lessened but not gotten rid of entirely.
My main problem with these is that I find it hard to hear people, and also hear myself talk when wearing these so I lack volume control of my own voice, but I hear what's going on in my head (eating, breathing, swallowing) much much louder. I was hoping at the price that I bought them, that I'd be able to just filter out ongoing noises like echoes in a large hall but still be able to perfectly hear everything distinct, like someone talking directly to me. Unfortunately that is not the case.
I'm still definitely glad I bought these. They have an excellent sound quality (especially when the noise cancelling is on - it's quite average/low quality when it's off), and so I love playing immersive video games and listening to music with these. I also use these in dire circumstances of lots of sound stimulation, and they definitely help, but they don't do as well as I was hoping.

The Bose QuietComfort 25 are amazing. The sound is great and the noise cancelling is the best you can get in a pair of over the ear headphones. The sound is really full and unlike many other headphones really busy music with lots of individual sounds doesn't muddy together.
There are three minor shortcomings. The first is that you can't charge them off of a USB cable; instead they only take AAA batteries. This means while traveling you either have to carry extra AAA batteries or bring a AAA charger. The battery life is impressive; if you use them 8 hours a day a single battery will last several days, but it's easy to forget and leave them on over the weekend and come back on a Monday to a dead battery. The second shortcoming is that the bass is only adequate; at this price I would really have hoped for even more bass. The third shortcoming is the price, which is quite high and price alone may make you consider another model even though you can't find better at any price.
Comparison to the QuietComfort 15 (aka the previous best noise cancelling headphones):
If you already own a pair of QC15 these probably aren't worth the upgrade, but if you are choosing between the two these are better. All reviewers agree that the noise cancelling of the previous model Bose QC 15 is the best noise cancelling you can get in a pair of over the ear headphones. Many reviewers thought that the sound they produced was just OK. I compared the two side by side in a loud cubicle environment. I was equally impressed with the noise cancelling of both models, they managed to greatly reduce outside noise, especially constant noise like computer fans. I think the QC 25 also look a bit more stylish than the QC15, in a low key way. The styling definitely doesn't say "look at me" like pair of Beats headphones does. The sound on the QC25 is improved, with better bass (but only adequate), and more distinct sound in busy music. The overall impression is that music sounds richer and fuller. I heard things in music that you just couldn't hear with the QC15. Another win for the QC25 is that if the battery dies on the QC15 you can't listen to music at all, without a battery the QC15 is useless. With the QC25 you can listen to music even though the sound quality is a notch lower and you lose the noise cancelling. Without a battery the sound quality is still higher than a low end pair of headphones. Not working at all with a dead battery is probably the number one shortcoming of the QC15 and it's nice to see it fixed in the QC25.
Comparison with Sennheiser:
I have a pair of Sennheiser noise cancelling over the ear headphones. These have better sound than the Bose QC15 but less good noise cancelling. Comparing them to the QC25 I have to say that the QC25 come out on top. The audio of the QC25 is now better by a hair, and the noise cancelling is clearly superior. It used to be that you had to choose sound quality (Sennheiser) or noise cancelling (Bose), but now the Bose QC25 wins on both.

Either I'm suddenly and very literally tone-deaf or those leaving glowing reviews for these headphones are. Nice packaging, travel-case comfortable cushions and good noise cancellation don't matter a jot if the sound quality is left lacking.....And that's all the case with the Bose QuietComfort 25s.
Bought and used regularly over the 3 weeks, before taking advantage of Bose's 30 day trial by giving them back for refund.
I really couldn't get on with the sound quality. Noise Cancellation is excellent and if that's all you're buying them for, then fine. But do not expect anything in the way of depth of sound. There is none. I don't expect or want "Beats" levels of bass, but some would be nice to at least reflect the way in which a track was originally recorded to be heard. Used with Spotify or iTunes on either a Macbook or iPhone 6, I find the volume has to be set almost to maximum as there is very little range adjustment. The sound itself I would describe as "toppy". Lots of treble which is extremely unnatural and uncomfortable to my ear. It's on the edge of distortion.
The principle job of these "cans" is to cancel sound, so I expected sound quality to be compromised a little.....But for £270, I expected some sound quality.
I've now replaced them with the amazing Parrot Zik 2.0 noise cancelling headphones and haven't looked back. Far superior sound. Fully adjustable soundstage via an iPhone or Android App with the adjustments you make on the App stored directly to the headphones so you can plug them in to any device. Material quality is far better than that of the Bose, they're lighter and feel better. Noise Cancelling is just as good and can be adjusted. They're bluetooth and have built in microphones so that you can take phone calls. Take them off your head and they mute automatically. Used on certain devices (mainly iOS) you can tap the left earphone to start/stop/forward/rewind tracks and answer / reject calls. They're just lovely in every way and the same price as the Bose.

Got these just before a cross-country plane ride and I had peaceful bliss the whole time. The noise cancelling, obviously, isn't 100% perfect, but what you get is cancellation of the rumbling of the jet AND you can actually hear your music without blasting out your eardrums. Then there was an annoying lady in the terminal speaking Chinese extraordinarily loudly into her cell RIGHT NEXT TO ME; once again, Bose to the rescue! Ahhh...
And the sound quality is pretty amazing. I played with the equalizer and audio effects on my phone and laptop and was able to get stellar clarity and clear bass. I ran through several old albums just to hear things I'd never heard in that music before. The vocal harmonies, in particular, stood out really well with these headphones.
Some folks think Bose is too bassy, but I like the bass turned up, so no issues here.
The carrying case is nice and I also like the white/blue/brown color scheme.
I tried these in conference calls and didn't say a word about using these headphones and nobody said they couldn't hear me or anything, so I guess the microphone works well. It's sort of strange to have the noise cancelling on while speaking on a call, though, because you feel like you need to yell and you're never quite sure how loudly you're speaking.

The QC25 is brilliant. I'm new to the world of ANC headphones, but I have used Beats before (which are sort of the runner ups) and they don't compare; price wise, as well as comfort and quality. First of all, the QC25 is the most comfortable headphones I've tried on. I even went to the local Best Buy and compared all the other NCs available like the Bowers, Seinheisser, Harmon & Kardon and Sony: the bose were absolutely the best fit for me. They're light, yet durable and they don't squeeze your ears which can be extremely headache-ing. They sit right over your ears. As I mentioned, the sound quality is exquisite. Now, it's not as ostentatious and loud as Monster or Skull Candy or even Beats, but the sounds that come out of the earphones are pristine, transparent, and crisp. You won't miss a single note or bass thump. The Acoustic Noise Cancellation is amazing... I bought these to silence my surroundings and they do just that. I can be in a cafe, a restaurant, or at a park and when I put these on I am alone with my computer or iphone. I can focus directly on my music and/or my project. I will say though, the ANCs sort give you the sensation that your eardrums are being sucked out, but I got used to it quickly. I'd like to think that it just adds to the legitimacy of the NC anyway.
Basically those are the pros. Here are the cons: Not as loud as other wanna-be's. It is wired, BT would've been nice. Single AAA battery, instead of rechargeable lithiums. You won't get to hear your girlfriend when she says sweet nothings while you have these on, which is fine because you're listening to your music, but when you realize that her mouth is moving and she in fact is looking at you saying something with a smile on her face... you'd have to lift one phone up completely just to ask her what she said, but then she won't tell you because shes a girl and girls do that. Just sayin'.

Wow! I love these headphones. I didn't think noise cancelling headphones could be this great. I have a pair of Sennheiser PXC 250-II headphones, which I thought were great. These Bose blow them out of the water though.
The fit of these headphones is excellent. They cup my ears entirely and even with the noise cancelling function off, a lot of noise is blocked. The cans are padded and feel soft on my ears. The headphones have a very sturdy feel to them and the top of the headband is also padded. The overall fit is mildly tight, but not painful or uncomfortable.
I can't believe how well these headphones block noise. I think the problem with my PXC-250 set was that the cans weren't really big enough to create a seal to block sound (note, the Sennheisers are significantly smaller and easier to tote). The Bose QC 25 headphones are fantastic though. Despite being larger than the Sennheisers, I will be taking the QC25s on my next trip.
I haven't had the chance to travel yet with these headphones, but I ran my dishwasher, washing machine, air conditioner, and opened my windows and the QC 25s blocked everything out. With the noise blocking function on, I feel like I am in my own world with my music. I tried knocking on my own walls and I couldn't hear a sound. There are a few sounds that are not blocked out by these headphones. When I turned on the TV and wore these headphones (with the noise cancelling function on, but not playing music through the headphones), I could make out the voices of actors. However, the ambient background noise/music on the show was cancelled out. I could also hear my dog playing with her squeaky toy. The squeakiness of the toy was subdued though and I didn't hear her play growls or nails on the hardwood floors.
Judging by my experience trying to emulate a noisy plane, I think these headphones will make trips much easier. I think I will end up hearing some loud conversations and maybe the piercing shrieks of babies, but even those sounds I anticipate being subdued. Seeing as these headphones blocked out a variety of appliance noises, I think they will perform well in an airplane. I will update my review if this proves not to be the case.
Besides blocking cancelling background noise, the sound quality of these headphones is fantastic and goes even beyond other high end (non-noise cancelling) headphones I have used. The best thing about the sound quality of these headphones is that they really bring out the background subtleties in music. I spend a lot of time listening to various songs using these headphones and trying to focus on each element of a song individually. With these headphones I can hear each individual element of a song when I so choose. On the other hand, when I just want to relax, I can take the song in as a whole.
Overall, I enthusiastically recommend these headphones. I can usually find flaws in even the best products, but these headphones are the exception. I just love these headphones.

There are a few sounds that are not blocked out by these headphones. When I turned on the TV and wore these headphones (with the noise cancelling function on, but not playing music through the headphones), I could make out the voices of actors. However, the ambient background noise/music on the show was cancelled out. I could also hear my dog playing with her squeaky toy. The squeakiness of the toy was subdued though and I didn't hear her play growls or nails on the hardwood floors.
Judging by my experience trying to emulate a noisy plane, I think these headphones will make trips much easier. I think I will end up hearing some loud conversations and maybe the piercing shrieks of babies, but even those sounds I anticipate being subdued. Seeing as these headphones blocked out a variety of appliance noises, I think they will perform well in an airplane. I will update my review if this proves not to be the case.
Besides blocking cancelling background noise, the sound quality of these headphones is fantastic and goes even beyond other high end (non-noise cancelling) headphones I have used. The best thing about the sound quality of these headphones is that they really bring out the background subtleties in music. I spend a lot of time listening to various songs using these headphones and trying to focus on each element of a song individually. With these headphones I can hear each individual element of a song when I so choose. On the other hand, when I just want to relax, I can take the song in as a whole.
Overall, I enthusiastically recommend these headphones. I can usually find flaws in even the best products, but these headphones are the exception. I just love these headphones.

I have older series for several years, but age happened and I had to buy another set of Bose. While these new headphones are more comfortable, I still prefer the old ones.
Here are my thoughts:
--Bose cheaped out and put fabric at the top. Everything is plastic and leather until you reach the top, then its fabric.... really? I have white headphones, how long do you think the white fabric will remain white. Why did Bose have to go cheap and get rid of the leather. With leather it was easy to clean and maintain. The under part that touches the head is also fabric, again overtime will get pretty nasty dirty.
--The cord has a funky texture that doesn't glide easily when rubbing against other material like my jacket. Because of this, the wire tends to snag a lot.
-- The hi-lo capability not really missed unless you can't figure out how to use your volume button.
-- Not much of a difference in sound quality
-- Not a big impact with the change in case design
-- Bose cord still doesn't interface with android devices (while the stop/play button work, volume cannot be controlled through the cord provided unless using an Apple product)
-- Really liking the ability to listen to music even when battery is low. The noise cancelling ability is fully dependent on battery power.
Overall 3 stars. Would be lower if it was still dependent on battery power for music. If you have the older QuietComfort, don't upgrade.

I love listening to music, but am not an audiophile. Consequently, I don't keep separate headphones around for travel and for listening in different scenarios. I want one pair of headphones that I can use at my computer, on an airplane, or sitting on my couch. The QC25 excel in all of these settings.
In terms of comfort, they are light and fit my large head snugly without being obtrusive. They have the solid feel and excellent build quality we have all come to expect from Bose. I could easily wear them all day.
Sound quality is, to my (admittedly untrained and unpicky ear) outstanding. I listen primarily to acousitc singer-songwriter and folk music, so I care primarily about mid-range vocal clarity, and I found that to be exceptionally good. Bass response sounded great to me, but I've never been able to muster the passionate opinions about bass that many headphone reviewers.
Where the headphones blew me away, however, was the noise cancelling. I've always considered noise cancelling to be something of a gimmick. Not so with the QC25's. The difference as soon as I switched it on was astonishing. If you work in a noisy environment, and need to filter out as much of the background noise as possible, these are the ones. Expect to swap out the AAA batteries every few days, but it will definitely be worth it.
In terms of accessories, the headphones come with a minijack cable, an airline adapter, and a well-crafted, slim (for full-size headphones) case.
There are many headphones with which you absolutely do not get what you pay for. The Bose QuietComfort 25 do not fall into that category. In return for your $300 you will get an outstanding pair of headphones with exceptional noise-cancelling capabilities, great sound, excellent portability, and solid build quality. Although they are clearly meant to be used on-the-go with your Samsung (or, presumably, any Android) phone, I think that for most folks they would make a great choice for daily use. I highly recommend them.

After two weeks of usage, now I think it is fair for me to write a review of this headphone. This is the best noise cancelling headphone I ever own. I have several NC headphones, Sony MDR-NC60, Harmon Kardon NC,and ATH NC. Bose is the best. It simply clears the low to mid-low range of noise out of my ears. There is no doubt Bose is the king of NC.
However, I purchase this headphone not only for NC but also wishing to have good sound quality. Unfortunately, Bose falls short in the SQ department. Before I purchased this headphone, I read through "all" reviews on amazon. Almost everyone praises how good it sounds. To be honest, the SQ is pretty bad to my standard. I know it is not fair to compare it with my Beyerdynamic T1. Even my HD 650 cannot touch T1. But the frequency response of Bose is pretty bad, even worse than my low end Sony MDR-NC60. Bass is too boomy, mid to low bass are boosted about 12db! Completely lack of highs except above 10000Hz. Well, I am not an audiophile and I have wooden ears(opposite of golden ears), but I trust frequency response. I measured it by myself! However, if you amp and EQ it, the SQ will be completely different. I found Bose QC25 is quite capable of being EQed. I used Creative Sound Blaster E5 with T1 as a reference. Now Bose sounds very similar to T1.
Here are my adjustments:
31hz:0db
62:-12db
125:-11db
250:-6db
500:-7db
1000:-5db
2000:-5db
4000:2db
8000:10db
16000:-4db
By the way, if you are interested in how T1 sounds like, Bose after this EQ is around 80% close to T1. Consider I paid $1,500 for T1, after EQ you can turn $300 Bose to 80% T1! I think it is well worth it. If you like a lot of bass, do not use this EQ. This EQ will only provide tight, solid bass. The goal is to make Bose sound as close to the original recording as possible. Now I can hear details in my music! The sound stage is increased at least 50%(just a guess). You can now hear the "airy" sound, just like my T1! I have to boost 8Khz for 10db, but Bose did not crack, it is a surprise to me.
I strongly recommend amp Bose with E5. E5 will be able to drive Bose and at the same time with proper EQ will smooth out FR winkles. This will make your Bose sound much much better.

So to start off, being a previous QC15 owner, the QC25s are not overly better than the QC15s. I would say that the only reason to upgrade to the 25s might be the new design. However, for those who have never owned a QC15, you will love the QC25s.
In terms of sound quality, the QC25s sound very similar to the older QC15s but the bass and clarity is improved on the new QC25s. Everything sounds much tighter with better fidelity.
The effectiveness of noise cancellation seems the same to be quite honest.
Comfort is still phenomenal on the 25s. The QC15s were incredibly light and comfortable, and the tradition remains. The QC15 was one of the few headphones I could wear for long, long periods of time, and I'm glad that the QC25s continue to be insanely comfortable.
In terms of design, I much prefer the look of the new 25s. The 25s look much more modern and youthful, whereas the QC15s looked more executive and business-like.
Another great feature with the 25s is that they will still work without batteries. The noise cancellation won't work of course, but you won't be stuck with no audio. In addition to losing noise cancellation, you do also lose some fidelity in audio quality, it still sounds pretty decent.
Like the QC15s, the battery life on the 25s are still exceptional. I haven't done any extensive and scientific tests, but it can last quite a while.
Overall, the QC25s are great headphones. People criticize Bose for being overpriced, but they really aren't. The QC25s don't sound as good as some other $300 headphones, but they excel in many areas(sound, comfort, design, usability) unlike competing products that excel in only a few(sound only), making the QC25s a balanced and well rounded product, and that's what makes it worth $300.

TL;DR: Love.
I got these for Apple products for Christmas this last year (2015). These are my first noise cancelling headphones, and actually my first headphones since I used a Discman. (Aw.) I primarily wanted them because I was sick of barely being able to hear movies while on a long flight, but I've actually found that they're really great for blocking out yelly people in coffee shops when I'm trying to focus on my writing. Likewise at home, if I have no interest in whatever my husband's watching and want to work on my laptop in the living room, I just pop these bad boys on and almost everything is blocked.
Does it block 100% of every sound? No. When I turn on noise cancellation, I can still hear the TV or music over the sound system, but it's very soft. But once I have my own music going, I really can't hear much of anything else. My husband didn't realize I had these on and tried talking to me (he was facing away from me) for a couple of minutes before turning around to see why I was ignoring him. I had no idea he was talking.
These are also very comfortable to wear. I don't even have to remove most types of earrings before putting these on. Nice bonus, since earbuds tend to start hurting for me at about the 30-minute mark.

I was looking for a comfortable pair of headphones to wear (over glasses) for several hours in a shared office space.
After comparing to other competing products (I ended up narrowing it down to these and the Sony MDR10RNC), I found these to be the most comfortable to wear for several hours, the least compromising on sound quality, and with the most effective noise reduction (combination of the electronics and acoustic isolation).
Comfort: the moment I put these on, they felt way too comfortable (too comfortable only because it would be difficult to justify buying cheaper headphones after having felt just how comfortable they are). I usually get headaches after less than an hour wearing headphones on top of my glasses, yet I can wear these with no headaches for 2-3 hour stretches. Any headphones I compared to these on comfort came up unsatisfactory (only because the Bose comfort was my benchmark).
Sound quality: noise cancelling headphones are going to be a compromise in sound quality compared to dedicated wired headphones (a good pair that is). Having accepted that sound quality will not be perfect (especially being plugged into a laptop headphone jack... and not one with good audio processing/circuitry), the Bose did a good job. The mids were very clear and not muddy (the Sony were much muddier in comparison); the lows were clear, and the highs were very light and springy. All together, the sound quality makes it easy to listen to a wide range of music (from orchestral, to electronic, to folk, to metal, and most anything in between). More importantly for me, I could listen to music without fatiguing my ears - which was important to drown out any typing noises that were defeating the sound isolation and noise reduction.
Noise reduction: I was as happy as possible with the overall noise reduction. The padding, shape, and pressure of the headphones provided good sound isolation, and the circuitry took care of any background noises. The only problem was that these made the annoying typing of my office mate even more distinct. The only way for me to drown that out was with music, and the sound quality made it easy for me to listen to music without having it be too overwhelming (nevertheless, rock music lacks some umpf no matter how I tweak the EQ).
All together, I wish less expensive headphones would have been satisfactory, but the comfortable feel of the Bose really spoiled me, and made it a rather unfair competition. Added to that, the sound quality is easy on the ears and versatile enough for prolonged listening. The noise cancellation does what it needs to do (if they would magically silenced my maniacal-keyboard-bashing-neighbor, that would earn these a 6th star).

Wow, just wow! I purchased these headphones primarily for air travel and family road trips. I'm an anxious air traveler. I'm not afraid the plane is going to crash, I just feel trapped. The constant noise of the plane and fellow passengers increases the anxiety.
I was absolutely positively blown away by how much peace I had on two flights last week. I felt more air-travel relaxed than I have in over a decade. The headphones completely block out the plane sound. You can hear voices, but they sound muffled and far away. There was a lady sitting in front of me who talked non-stop from the moment she sat down, all the way through the flight, walking through the jetway, and into the terminal. Something like that would have normally driven me nuts, but it didn't bother me at all.
With regard to sound quality, I've heard better, but it's still very good. I'm paying $$$ for noise canceling. For a good portion of the flight, I just had the noise canceling turned on with no audio playing. When I watched a TV show, it felt like I was watching it at home in my living room. No need to crank up the volume to hear dialogue or music.
One thing that I hoped for but didn't achieve was blocking out my snoring husband. The only way I could block the noise was to use the headphones combined with earplugs and a white noise app. For me, the best solution for a snoring spouse is to move said-spouse to a sofa in another room, preferably a far away room.
Overall, even though they are expensive, I am extremely satisfied.

I was hesitant to buy these due to there price....but WOW am i glad I did these are amazing and worth the price. In fact I may never buy a different set of noise canceling headphones for the rest of my life. When/if these go out I will definitely be buying another pair. Some reviewers say if the NC is not turned on they sound bad which i disagree with, they sound like normal headphones, but with the NC turned on they sound 100x better. I would highly recommend these they are way better than Beats. My roommate has a pair of the NC beats and the white noise they make is unpleasant where the NC noise the QC-25 make is much higher quality that you wont even notice it. Just make sure to buy the right support pair, either for apple IOS, or android OS to make sure the cord controls work with your device.
Pros
Amazing Noise Canceling
Stylish look
extremely comfortable
Work even if the battery is dead
Cons
sometime when i wear these in my civil engineering computer lab the room becomes really warm and these headphones make your ears warm and a little sweaty.
Overall Worth the money best NC headphones on the market!!

If you travel by plane often, you will see many people using these or Bose's previous model as the de-facto standard for noise-cancelling headphones. The good thing about these vs. the prior generation set is that they can be used as normal headphones without the need to invoke the noise cancellation features and/or the need to even have a battery. I'm in Afghanistan and use them as standard headphones with good dynamic range for music, movies, and gaming. I usually leave the noise cancelling off unless the constant drone of helicopters landing next door get on my nerves. Then it's heavenly. The NC circuitry is quite extraordinary, and will drown out almost all unwanted noise. Sound quality improves as well when NC is active. Audiophiles will appreciate the dynamic range but if you want utmost sound quality, then different headphones way out of the price range of these is what you want. I personally think the sound quality is very good. Bass is not as strong, but all ranges are nicely balanced and very crisp in quality. The design is understated and refined. Very very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I have not used them on a plane yet, but other reviewers seem to swear by them. If my experience so far on a busy/noisy base is anything to go by, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I think the price is also very good compared to what these things used to cost 10 years ago. Very happy with them.

I had really high hopes for these headphones, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. I work in a cubicle farm and I wanted a headphone to block out the noise of coworkers and people walking past my desk. I mostly listen to podcasts, and not a lot of music so I was more interested in the noise canceling than sound quality. The price on these seemed pretty steep, but when I tested them out in a very busy Best Buy store right before Christmas, I was amazed at how well they blocked the noise. It felt almost like I had the entire store to myself when I put them on. I was finally able to justify the cost when I considered that when I'm at my desk, my headphones are on. This amounts to over 30 hours per week, so I ordered them.
The noise canceling feature made me feel like I was the only one in the office. Without them, I could hear people walking towards my desk from down the hall and hear doors opening and closing. With these headphones on, it was all but gone. Even the door right next to my desk was almost unnoticeable and I would see people long before I ever heard them. Conversations happening a few desks away were barely noticeable whereas before the conversations would drown out my headphones instead of the other way around.
As much as I loved what these headphones did, I had to return them. The main reason I decided to return them was that there was a constant clicking/popping sound in the left ear. When I turned off the noise canceling feature, the clicking/popping stopped. If it were just that, I would have exchanged them for a new pair instead of returning them for a refund. Another reason for returning them is because they applied just a little bit too much pressure to my ears. I wear glasses and after an extended period of the headphones pressing my ears agains the bows of my glasses, my ears began to hurt. If the cups on these were a little bit bigger to go fully around my ear, that would have helped. Another issue I had was that I have a constant ringing in my ears, that is pretty much unnoticeable, unless it's very quiet. So as good as the noise canceling feature works, it makes it so quiet that I could notice the ringing in my ears while using them.
All in all I think these would make a great pair of headphones for most people who can justify/afford the price, but for me they just didn't work out quite as well as I had hoped.

Another reason for returning them is because they applied just a little bit too much pressure to my ears. I wear glasses and after an extended period of the headphones pressing my ears agains the bows of my glasses, my ears began to hurt. If the cups on these were a little bit bigger to go fully around my ear, that would have helped. Another issue I had was that I have a constant ringing in my ears, that is pretty much unnoticeable, unless it's very quiet. So as good as the noise canceling feature works, it makes it so quiet that I could notice the ringing in my ears while using them.
All in all I think these would make a great pair of headphones for most people who can justify/afford the price, but for me they just didn't work out quite as well as I had hoped.

I wanted to give these a real try, but I don't think I'm the right demographic for this item. First thing's first--the noise cancellation feature is quite an accomplishment. It cuts down the drone of an AC to low whirr. It's like you have a switch to turn a room into your own private library. But unfortunately the sound experience takes a nose dive afterward. If I had to place sound quality of the QC25s in a range, I'd say they sound as good as a pair of $25-50 over ear headphones. They have very little resolution, the frequency response is cut off at both ends, and the midrange is very thin. Is this Bose's fault? Hard to say -- it's probably due to the constraints of noise cancellation technology. Unfortunately there's also some quality control/design issues with the jack or the detachable cable -- if the cord is turned just the wrong way, one of the channels will cut out. This was within 2 hours of use, and I decided to call in that amazon refund.
The quality and styling is very attractive and nicely understated. Comfort is excellent--I have slightly large ears and the circumaural fit was perfect for me. I wish my ATH-M50s were as comfortable and light as these headphones.
For the record, my favorite headphone sound signature is consistently the ATH-M50. They're possibly the most basic audiophile headphone experience, but they're damn cheap for what you get and have the resolution and slight V that makes them enjoyable all-rounders. I know, the QC 25s aren't monitors, not by a long shot. They're a consumer product at their core. They are definitely a niche item and maybe the best noise-cancelling headphones out there. But I think that as much as Bose tries to market them as good sounding headphones, they're quite poor performers. I'd rather just replace the earpads on my ATH-M50s with ones with more isolation than pay double the price of the ATH-M50s for a thin-sounding experience in a slick package.

These headphones are amazing in loud or moderately noisy environments, but not great in very quiet environments. In very noisy settings like airplanes, the active noise cancelling works wonders, and allows you to hear your audio at a normal listening level. In a setting like an office, where the sound level is moderate, these headphones are great and the way they're built provides a reasonable level of noise reduction even without the active noise cancelling enabled. However, this is actually an issue in very quiet environments, like a home office or library. There are two problems. One: because the headphones do such a great job of passively blocking outside noise, in very quiet environments you can actually hear your heart beating and your jaw moving, which can be distracting. Two: with the active noise cancelling on, there is a constant, low volume white noise. This white noise is imperceptible when used in loud environments, but can be easily heard in quiet ones.
Regarding comfort, they are rather comfortable. Though they can be worn comfortably for a few hours at a time, your ears my get warm, because they are so well sealed off. All of the padding is nice, and they headset is very light weight.
With the active noise cancelling turned off, sound is neutral, which can seem bland to some people, but overall there's nothing to complain about. With the active noise cancelling turned on, Bose also turns on an EQ which makes things a little punchier, but never strays far from neutral.
Overall, if you plan to use this in moderate to very noisy environments, they are wonderful and I would highly recommend them. If you are looking for a new pair of headphones to use in quiet environments, the sound quality isn't worth the price. For the same price, or cheaper, you can find better sounding headphones.

After using these headphones for just over a month I have to say that they are fantastic. They block out low frequency sound perfectly such as air conditioning, car/engine noise and even the bass beats of music. They will not however block out higher pitched sounds perfectly such as lots of talking or especially loud noises (don't expect them to block out everyone in an office for example).
The sound produced by the headphones is great too however there are times I wished there was a bit more bass (but most of the time the bass is great) as I do like bass heavy music.
I do wish that the headphones had some kind of auto off feature that could be enabled as I have accidentally left them on a number of times but I do understand that there are situations where you would want to leave them on for extended amounts of time, without playing music, such as flying.
Overall these are a great pair of headphones which are a worthy investment if you travel a lot, have noisy house mates or just want to sit in a quiet environment however if you are not bothered by the noise cancelling technology then you can get cheaper headphones which are just as good.

These are quite expensive compared to other makes of noise cancelling headphones but are cheap in comparison to audiophile phones. The noise cancellation is the best I have heard. Not only do they deal with repeating sounds like fans and hospital alert bells as well as most NC headphones, they are very good at reducing speech and general office noise which is where Plantronics, Sony and most others struggle. The overall sound quality is very good and is certainly as good as high end Grados and Senheiser (sorry for spelling!) phones I have owned. They lack the precision of the AKG studio phones I like best but the sound quality allied with a perfectly 'black' soundstage make them sound better than they are. Overall I am satisfied with build quality which seems better than Bose's usually hideous build on headphones. Possibly they ut more effort into their dearest products. The one thing that spoils the look and probably the build durability is the battery closure which is clunky and leaves gaps wide enough to admit dirt and even insects although hopefully they shouldn't come into contact with either on a regular basis!
They are worth the money if you want to be freed from the tyranny of modern noise and are comfortable enough for long use. I decided it would be unjust to withhold the final star as Bose offer a superb after sales service and replace damaged items without any argument unlike many high street shops.

Not a huge fan of the price, but it does what it says. Flew on a plane, and while you could still slightly hear the noise of the plane, I'd guess it was about 1/40th of what the actual sound was. The flight attendant actually had to tap me on the head to get my attention because I could't hear her from 6 inches away when she asked if I wanted something to drink.
I haven't tried the ear bud version of this that bose sells, but keep in mind that one has a battery that can not be replaced, and I find that unacceptable for a $300 item. The one advantage I would say ear buds have is if you watch netflix or whatever on your tablet while lying down, you can sleep on your side and watch. You can't do that comfortably with these headphones (though it's still not that uncomfortable).
To me, the price is worth it, particularly if you fly or you're around loud noises a lot. Or maybe you just want it for the holidays so you can have some quiet time while the family is all over at your place. These headphones work, and they work well. The only real question you need to be asking yourself is if you will get $300 worth of use out of them, and that is something no one can answer but you.

Bottom line: Very comfortable, even after many hours. Effective sound cancellation. Truly astounding sound when listening to all types of music. Convenient and adequate storage. Now for a few details. Despite the many details offered on other reviews, take it from this discriminating traveler: the Q25 is a definite upgrade from the 15. Sound cancellation may be the same, but quality of the sound is much more brilliant. After a couple of hours of wear on flights, the 15 gave me headaches because felt like it pinched my head. Wore the 25 for five hours straight and never felt discomfort. Forget the complaints about storage and hypothesized problems with folding the unit. The 25 feels sturdy, even as you fold it, and fits snugly into the square case, which I like better than the headphone-shaped case of the 15. The case has the same external compartment for storing the headphone cord and an extra battery or two. The hard plastic insert for the airline adaptor and an extra battery is nice touch. I don't understand the complaints of other reviewers. The rectangular case fits better inside my luggage pockets than the 15's case. Finally, the 25 is more streamlined--I feel less conspicuous wearing these phones than the 15. For me, the 25 is step up. Although I appreciate the head-to-heads offered by other reviewers, I feel like they were overthinking. Without bothering to make a comparison, these are hands-down amazing phones. Compared to my 15s, I'm glad to have made the purchase. Long, previously boring flights (because I couldn't stand wearing the 15s for more than an hour or two), are now more comfortable. I do agree with others that an important limitation is that the cord controls only work with iPhones. This is truly a shame, and the *only* negative I can find with this unit. I would probably consider using these phones more frequently than only when traveling on flights if I could use the controls to communicate with my Android phone, but I am still very pleased with these phones.

The QC25s are a very comfortable pair of headphones and do an excellent job of reducing (not canceling) the noise from office air vents. The strange effect of reducing background office noise by the QC25 is the concomitant effect of actually making office chatter more distinct. Although the loudness of my co-workers voices is lowered, I seem to be able to make out their conversations better. Even with white noise or music playing, I can hear the admins' weekend plans and romance gossips.
I think that in-ear buds like the Shure SE215 do a better job of blocking office chatter (voice) at a lower price. I feel that the Shure SE215 with foam inserts reduces~85% of office chatter. In comparison, the QC25 reduce about ~50% for me. The Shure SE215 sounds a lot better, but you'll have to be comfortable having things inside your ear canal.
In conclusion, both these headphones are the best I've used to reduce sounds from noisy co-worker. I would recommend the Shure SE215 for better isolation and sound quality. However, if you can't stand earbuds, the QC25s are an okay choice. For ultimate noise reduction, you can even wear earplugs under the QC25.
I rate the QC25 as follows:
Comfort: 5
Blocking co-worker's voices: 2
Blocking air vent noise: 4
Sound Quality: 3
Price: 3
Average = 3.4 stars
Update 11/1/2014
(A few additional comments after using QC25's for a week)
1. No auto shut-off when you disconnect the headphones so you'll drain your battery if you forget to manually turn it off.
2. The tiny latch that holds the battery is crap. It's hard to open and close, and I'm afraid that it will break one day.
3. The headphone case is small, but not designed well. Inside the case, there is a diagram on how to fold the headphones to fit inside the case with the cord attached to the headphones. Unfortunately, they recommend folding the headphones in a certain way that bends the cord at a sharp ~90 degree angle. Over time this will lead to the cord breaking. [Hint: I recommend tucking the left earcup inside first (i.e. opposite to what they show) to avoid kinking the cord at such a sharp angle.]
4. I'm slowly becoming more convinced that the QC25's are not the best for office use. When I had to finish a long report at work, I ended up using my in-ear Shure SE215 while listening to "coffee shop" white noise. The Shure SE215 blocks office chatter so much better the QC25s. I realize that I'm not bothered too much by air vent noise and other low frequency background office sounds that the QC25 cancels so well. Noisy co-workers talking bothers me the most, and I think I'll have to stick with the Shure's or with earplugs.
5. With my office being a bit cold, the QC25's did keep my ears warm.

These noise cancelling headphones are the best, I also have the previous version and appreciate that this version has the capability of working without having the noise cancelling option active so can be used just as a regular pair of headphones and you can extend your battery life. And as far as the noise cancelling feature they are the best I have ever tried and I've tried many other brands. Bose seems to have mastered the ability to manufacture true noise cancelling headphones. They really do a great job of blocking out most outside noises (construction, dog barking, noisy neighbors). I also love the white/turquoise color option for this version. They are very attractive and so very comfortable. I think this version also offers a little more comfort than the previous version. The cups and top band have a bit more padding. They are a little pricey but I think well worth it and would highly recommend if you want to cancel out annoying noises around you and want to have the additional option to use without the noise cancel thus saving your battery life. Love these!

When I first used these headphones I was thrilled. They were very comfortable and the noise cancelling was the absolute best. I was very happy and looking forward to the next flight about a month later. My wife had a set from another manufacturer but these were so superior I was going to buy her a pair as well. When I put them on for the second flight however, the on-off switch was intermittent and the right earphone was dead. I changed to a new battery and tried a different set of phones to see if the connection was at fault. Unfortunately after trying everything I had to conclude that it was my brand new $300.00 headphones that were at fault. They were always kept in their (very nice) case and never banged around or abused. I might have thought this pair was just a "lemon" but too many others have run into these sorts of hardware problems. This is not an acceptable failure rate for a $300.00 pair of earphones from a company with Bose's reputation. I would not buy them again and would advise that if you choose to do so, you might get lucky but you should be aware that it is a crap shoot.

After a very disappointing experience with the poor engineering of the Sony MDR-NC60 headphones, I have pretty much had a "once-bitten, twice shy" attitude towards standard-sized noise-cancelling headphones. When it comes to noise-cancelling headphones, I have used the in-the-ear variety rather than the traditional cans, so I was curious to see how these would perform.
So far, so good. I have noticed very little distortion in either ear, and the noise cancellation works pretty much as advertised. I have found that the battery has held up well after almost 2 weeks of continuous use, so I am guessing that Bose's claims of a 35-hour lifetime is fairly accurate. For spoken word, I generally don't use the noise cancellation as it isn't all that necessary, but for acoustic music, if you don't use the noise cancellation the sound is just awful, as though the musicians were playing in a closet.
For me, the balance is good; no overpowering bass, & the treble is serviceable. If you are wanting booming bass, then these aren't the headphones for you. Also, if you are looking for headphones for a stereo, it is worth noting that these are designed for handheld devices and computers only, and will not work well with a stereo amplifier.
I do have some reservations, and I can see why there are as many 1-star reviews as there are. The folding design makes me nervous, and the carrying case is just ridiculously small. If I folded them up the way it is recommended, it wouldn't surprise me if something malfunctioned before too long. I am using a larger carrying case and treating them carefully. This is definitely something to consider.
Obviously, it is too early to give a fair assessment of how well these headphones will hold up after extended use. Only time will tell, but for now, I am quite pleased with the performance, which seems commensurate with the price.
