Unfortunately they sound like Bose. No LF, hyped upper midrange, not much HF. Great for speech intelligibility. If you listen to a lot of NPR they're perfect. If you love music keep looking.
The QC25 are an amazing piece of technology. The sound reduction is much superior to the QC15, and blows the Sennheiser out of the water into the stratosphere. There is no 'vacuum' feeling like there was on the QC15 if you have the headphones on without listening to music. Everything fades away discreetly, and if you turn the music on you enter your own private space. When I travel I listen on an HTC One Max with Poweramp Pro (better result that with other music apps, including Google Music) and you can hear every little detail, breath, nuance. It's just like having a world of sounds just for yourself. Even with the above mentioned equipment I have never experienced such privacy and immersion. The sound is balanced (as usual with Bose) and spatial distribution is excellent.
Design-wise these are perfect. The case is significantly smaller than the bulky QC15 (which I have now sold), the headphones fold just that little bit better, are just that bit more comfortable. I have the white version because I was tired of all that black and it looks very nice. The inside of the case is also very well designed, with a special little compartment for the spare battery and the airplane jack. Everything is as compact and as light as it can possibly be. I haven't tried these on a train or plane yet but I have no doubt whatsoever that they'll perform beautifully. I couldn't hear myself rapping on the table, and that's not the sort of noise that these headphones are designed to cancel.
As you probably gathered I am a technophile (a Geek, as some might say)... This is the best piece of kit I have bought in a long time. It's totally worth the money, whether you want them just for noise reduction, or for listening to music.
PS: if you find that the controls don't work well on an Android phone (they are designed for i-Phones, download 'Headset Controller' from Android market. It will solve your problem and you can even assign specific tasks to specific clicking combinations.
-A happy customer
Instead of buying just the cable, I decided to upgrade my headphone with the noise canceling feature as I'm traveling a lot and working in open space.
So far, they are really nice and this is totally what I could expect:
- The sound quality is really nice (not the best though)
- The noise canceling is AWESOME, obviously you will still hear people speaking, but this is not the purpose, the low frequency are completely removed, it's really comfortable.
- The case/quality is really nice and comfortable.
To be honest, at this price, they are the best on the market ...
Another bad thing about these headphones are sound quality. The quality is terrible, comparing to the cheaper BOSE OE2 I bought three years ago and that is about half of their price.
Noise cancelling is not good enough on airplane. But it does works on most of other situation, like in your office.
UPDATE: I contact the Bose via phone, they ask me to return the headphones back, and they will ship a new pair for me. I hope the new ones work more reliable.
My issues where only with Noise Reduction set to "ON" where it sounded like I had an intermittent fault on the cable OR with the plug.
FYI -- TRY REPLACING THE ENERGIZER WITH A DURACELL FIRST.
Hope this helps!
The headband has a nice cushion that rests comfortably on the top of my head. The slider adjusts more smoothly and accurately than any other pair of headphones I have ever encountered.
The headphones collapse and fit snugly in the provided hard case. I appreciate the piece of mind that I get from knowing that my headphones are at least a little protected when I pack them.
There are two levels of noise canceling on these. First is just how well the cups fit over your ears and keep sound out. This works great on its own. And then you turn on the active noise cancellation and you have an entirely different experience. The test I always give my noise canceling headphones (don't judge me) is to walk into the bathroom and turn on the overhead fan then put on the headphones and see the difference. I also use these at work and I am entertained when I realize how long my coworkers have been standing behind me trying to get my attention without realizing that I couldn't hear them.
For the active noise cancellation, the headphones take a AAA battery (included). You get 35 hours from one battery, which doesn't seem like a lot, but it is probably comparable with how much time other rechargeable sets get with a charge. I will use rechargeable AAA batteries so it will be a non-issue. The case even has a place to hold a spare battery, which is convenient. (I think that the latch to close the battery compartment does seem a little poorly made and I fear that it will stop locking properly at some point and I will have to use tape or something.)
My last set of Bose was the Quiet Comfort 3, which I still use (because I just replaced the pads last year). Bose headphones last for a long time if you treat them well. The QC25s are a marked improvement from the QC3. I like the over-the-ear style much more than the on-the-ear. The noise cancellation is much better and I could not be happier with the sound.
Now, I have not been using this QC25 model long enough to see if the cracking is happening around the same parts (over the head band and all the joints), but this one does have wider ‘over the head band’ part which is also combination of plastic and metal.
The reason I mentioned the Jabra model is because these two noise canceling headphones are almost identical in design. Both have about same size, weight (QC25 is a couple of ounce heavier) and functionality. The difference I found, simply, is that the QC25 has slightly better noise canceling and better audio quality. The big difference I found is that the QC25 is quite comfortable even for a long hours of usage.
How well does this noise canceling work? I don’t have the means of measuring it technically, but I can say the headphone cancels surrounding noises about 80~90% most of the times. In a noisy environment, such as commuting via mass transit or lawn mowing, this headphone works quite well. I still remember the first time I tried the Bose’s noise canceling headphone in their store many many years back. It was amazing and quite a new experience trying out active noise canceling technology. This particular model is no different from my past experience. Whether I ride on a subway or my neighbor mows the lawn early in the morning, this headphone quiets the noise down to the level I feel comfortable not hearing the unwanted noises. Sometimes I have my kid to put this on when I and my wife need to have a private conversation in the car. I let him listen to an audiobook or music while we talk, and he doesn’t even hear when I am calling him sometimes. However, in the situations of dialoging from TV or radio is on, if the headphone's volume is low, I found the noise canceling is less effective. Yet, most of the time, noises such as from helicopters, airplanes (I live near an airport), sirens, subway, bus, lawn mowing, and construction
can be canceled quite effectively and actively.
Not being an audiophile I'm not going to get into how they respond to all the different frequencies, whether they are good for bass, treble etc. etc. but rather concentrate on what their main selling point is, noise cancelling.
Like their predecessor, the QC25 are over-ear rather than on-ear like the QC3. For me, this makes them much more comfortable to wear and there is no pressure on the ear. It also helps eliminate un-cancelled noise. Like the QC15, they are powered by a standard AAA battery so no annoying chargers needed. Bose have now eliminated the need for a special cable by allowing standard cable to connect to the headphones. Other changes are that extra hinges have been added to to the headband to allow it to fold smaller. The hard case is now a touch narrower so makes packing easier, but a nice drawstring bag would be a great addition when travelling light. One slight difference that in no way affects performance is the sides are now a more subtle grey rather than the silver. You still get the in-line volume +/- and function button that works like a charm on my iPhone and iPad.
Performance. As mentioned before, if you're looking for a detailed report on how the sound is reproduced, you won't find find it here. That said, to my ears, both music, audiobooks and films are clear, without distortion and of a mid-volume. When you place the headphone on while turned off, ambient sound is only slightly muted (as you would expect) but when you turn them on, you can hear the background noise fade away as the noise-cancelling technology kicks in.This makes what ever you are listening too sound clearer too.
I've not had chance to try them out on a flight, but will do before Christmas 2014. Once done, I'lll update this review.
At £270 they are not a cheap option, but if you value peace and quiet on a long flight, the cost divided by flights used makes it much more attractive and they are far better than most of the standard airline headphones.
The lone con is that when the noise canceling feature is off there is a moderate dip in overall sound quality. I know I know, I owned Beats what the hell do I know about sound quality. It's not enough of a dip for me to dock any points, but it is noticeable.
Overall insanely happy with these. If you're anything like me, coming from headphones that are more about style than anything, these are a welcome change and a definite upgrade.
Okay - so aesthetically they aren't as pleasant on the eye as some other models - but I like a metallic industrial look and these are rounded, curvy plastic - they don't feel expensive, they don't feel fragile - just not quite as premium as I'd expect for £270. They are nice and light though and incredibly comfortable once on. In fact, I've wore these for several hours continuously and didn't get any kind of ear ache or pressure cramp, they feel luxurious.
To start with I used these without noise reduction and they sounded superb, easily as good as some expensive Panasonic `phones I've had for a few years. Volume was nice and loud and they didn't sound in any way tinny. The range of audio was as I'd expect from a top-end set of headphones. I used the in-line controls along with my iPod Touch, they work well but ultimately I opted to control directly from my iPod. Once I'd listened to a few tracks I switched the noise cancelling on, I noticed a slight sensation (almost like an increase in air pressure) - but it was only slight, and noticed the difference in audio straight away. Background noise was not just minimised, but shut out completely and I was able to be immersed in the music.
I tried these in different situations and they performed *every* time, the only time background noise was still audible was when I was listening got spoken word (a podcast called "Cultdom Collective") and I was just about able to hear people talking around me - but only just and it was never noticeable when I was listening to music.
In a nutshell: I recommend these, I can't say they are the best for the money and the truth is that style and substance need to be considered when paying a hefty sum for a pair of cans - and these aren't the most stylish. They are incredibly comfy, and incredibly effective, but they do look a little plasticky.
Sound quality is abysmal. If you are an audiophile you will not be satisfied at all.
The other problem I have is that these headphones are not wireless. You can use the noise cancelling feature wirelessly, but you cannot use them while listening to music wirelessly.
If they added bluetooth for audio and upped the sound quality these would be 5/5 stars.
I absolutely love my Bose Soundlink speaker. These don't match up at all.
1. great sound and great noise cancelling
but
They got broken 2 times already - right headphone stopped working completely. I cared about them very well and I really dont think it was my fault. first time they got broken after about a year, second time, another 6 months. The problem which I discovered today - broken right headphone - even more annoying is - it got broken 1 day after guarantee has finished :/ If you search on internet you will see that actually they have kind of design problem.
It's better to buy noise cancelling plugs for 1 GBP and great headphones, which are more solid that Bose QC 25 :/ Sorry bose but I won't buy your fragile products anymore :/
I don't know about other happy users of the QC25, but the noise cancelling function is very annoying and uncomfortable. When it's on, (and I have to adjust the ear cushions so they "barely" cover my entire ears; otherwise some noise would still "leak in") it feels like my ears are under water with tremendous pressure.
I had tried the QC15, and they certainly didn't feel like this. I cannot recommend these QC25 headphones.
On a related note: I purchased the Bose SoundSport In-ear phones for working out (bike riding) and within a month they developed heavy static. Again, another Bose product failing on durability and another task on my todo list.
I expect more from this company.
I work in a very noisy office, and these are not too bulky, and work really fantastic at lowering the noise level, I very often use them without any music at all in fact -- but some low level music makes the noise cancellation even better and near /perfect/. Only downside is that it can get a bit hot after a few hours.
Battery last for weeks, there's a neat place in the case to carry a spare too. Oh, and there's some little room in the case for an mp3 player as well. I bought a cheapo AGPtek 06 that is small and flat, and fits in the case with the headphones.
BUT -- they made me feel nauseous.
Turns out this is well known. There are medical studies available online. If you have a sensitive inner ear (and it appears I do from my experience) the noise cancelling technology can make you feel sick. Every time I put them on I felt an odd an mildly unpleasant sensation, which went away when turning off the noise cancelling function. I thought I was going mad until I looked it up.
So buy from Amazon, test them and keep the box in case you need to send them back!
The sound quality is decent with noise canceling turned on.
There is an audible hiss with noise canceling turned on.
About 10 months after purchase there is a significant crackle in the headphones and each ear cup is not producing any audio
Unfortunately it is now out of the 30 day warrantee, so it looks like I'm out of luck.
I won't be replacing them with another set. I'll be looking at another pair of noise canceling headphones next.
I bought the Beats Studio about 5 months ago. They sounded good but they added a lot of clumsy noise in the top three volume bars. Felt like all the music was just being thrown at you at once without proper clarity. and I use my beats for work out and at work only in 5 months the head band had broken and I fixed it using a tape and my wife is using them. they are soo expensive and not reliable at all. But just today I bought these Bose QC 25 headphones and they are a class apart. They produce crystal clear music with precision to each and every note. Even at high volumes you can hear every note very clearly.
And the best part is the LFE channel. I tried the dolby 7.1 channel test (video in youtube) on both the Beats studio and the Bose QC25 and guess what.....the Beats headphones could not even produce the LFE channel sounds at all where as the QC 25 totally nailed those effects. The 10.2 channel effects tests also sounded awesome. I can listen to my music and not hear any noise from where I am (usually a subway or a commuter train). I can listen to the most subtle instrument played and enjoy my music. QC25 is very reliable and sturdy, just to check them i tried to twist the hadback almoy 90 degrees and nothing happened. they are very light weight, i use for 4-5 hours at work and i do not feel i have something on my head.
The only reason I bought Beats instead of Bose QC15 earlier was because I am a bass lover and the QC15s are not the best for bass. But the QC25 totally conquered that area too! The bass these produce is quite amazing. I am off to return my Beats Studio headphones! The Bose QC25 headphones are too good to be true! Definitely another masterpiece from Bose!
That being said, I use headphones everyday. It's been my $20 pair from Sony sold at Walmart for years. These Bose headphones are several hundred dollars more expensive, but the sound quality is about the same.
The noise cancellation is amazing though. I was in a room listening to the Bose headphones for about thirty minutes. I didn't know my wife has been pounding on the locked door to come in.
I have only used the noise cancelling feature so far and these headphones block all of the background noise and most of the loud piped in music.
I'm guessing that while listening to music, even at a low volume in addition to the noise cancelling - all of the outside noise would be blocked.
Well worth the money.
The dramatic reduction in plane noise is impressive. I can hear conversations around me more easily where as before, I couldn't hear them at all. When listening to music on my tablet I would have to set the volume to maximum in order to hear anything. With the Bose headphones I set the volume at %50-%65 depending on the plane I am flying.
Of course I wish that the price was lower but you get what you pay for.
The sales rep said it's also good to have some music on low as the ear is trained to hear higher noise frequencies and will be drawn to that and away from the high pitched noise outside. Works like charm and makes the music sound great too. You only need 1 AAA battery for the noise cancellation and then plug cord into laptop, ipod etc. Make sure the connection is tight or you'll only get one side coming through.
Why did I wait so long to get these??! Such an improvement to my day.
When I first put them on I got a little dizzy -- maybe because my inner ear/balance mechanism was confused? But after a short while that problem went away.
I've noticed that it seems to completely block out continuous background noises like fans for example. Otherwise, it just really mutes noises.
I cannot overstate the value of having the extension cord unplug from *both* ends -- I've walked away from my computer before and forgot to take off my headphones and it just unplugs from the headphone side instead of ripping the wire out like on other headphones. These are also the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned -- I can wear them for hours straight. I cannot wear them all day long but I can wear them for about four hours before I feel a need to hear stuff.
Unfortunately, the noise cancellation feature gave me vertigo and motion sickness. I tried to acclimate myself by using them for short periods of time, but it never got better. I suggest that if you have motion sickness or inner ear problems, try these out in a store before purchasing. It only took me 5 minutes of use for symptoms to set in. Luckily for me, Amazon was happy to take the product back.
The only complaint would be that for such an expensive product the materials seem a little cheap. The ear pads squeak when you turn them and the top headband isn't leather it's like a "suede-like" so it's not even suede.
