I just tested this, together with 7 other kids. Must say directly, this is a fantastic handset! The only drawback is the cord. Actually. No, one more thing ... the sound without noise reduction is not funny ... murky and flat ... so it must be activated. Incidentally, the cruel!

Bose Quiet Comfort 25 gives amazing comfort and superb active noise cancellation but fails to provide that $300 sound performance. Not worth buying.

Lot of comfort Terrifying noise cancellation Very light weight

Mediocre sound quality Sound quality is rock bottom when noise cancellation is off Feels very cheap physically

"I purchased a pair of these headphones from Oxford Street London as an upgrade from the previous bulkier version. My other pair of Bose headphones were falling apart and the new model had just come out and so I went out and purchased it. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE.

Not only is the sound quality crisp and the highs and lows are pronounced but the noise cancellation is unreal and feels like you've entered outer space. Best set of expensive headphones purchased yet. I'll be looking to get the wireless model next

Since their introduction in 2009, the Bose QuietComfort 15 have been the premier headphones for anyone who wanted the best in active noise-cancelling headphones. Even as many competitors tried to take the crown, the QC15s remained on top.

Attractive; sturdy design; Comfortable fit; Can play music without battery; Excellent active noise-cancelling technology; Loud; balanced audio

Expensive

The QuietComfort 25 model takes Bose's already stellar noise-canceling headphones and levels them up to new heights.

Extra-comfortable design; clearer, more dynamic sound; highly effective noise-canceling circuitry that's been slightly improved; new folding design allows the headphones to fit in a smaller carrying case; if the battery dies, the music now doesn't die; 21- to 30-day risk-free home trial

Fairly pricey

In my experience, Bose quite simply makes the best noise canceling headphones available today. While I've heard a few noise cancelers that sound a bit better, I've never heard one that isolated as well from outside noise...and that's the important bit for noise cancelers, isolation.

Even though some of the tweaks seem more like lateral movement than actual improvements on previous models, the Bose QuietComfort 25 are indeed the best active noise canceling headphones we've seen from Bose yet.

When it comes to trusted audio equipment names, few match the reputation of industry stalwart Bose. Since the company first dipped its toes into the tranquil waters of noise-cancelling gear in 2000, it's over-ear QuietComfort headphone line has evolved to become recognized as some of the best in the...

Great sound, noise canceling good, but my ears got hot and sweaty in them. I bought a pair of $40 earbuds from Amazon that sounds just as good. I guess I'm disappointed because I love Bose quality and sound. I returned these because I didn't believe they were worth $350.
