I used this for few transatlantic flights and they completely removed the engine noise, allowing me to enjoy the in-flight movies. They will not, however, completely remove the sound of a baby crying or a drunk shouting at the flight attendant.

I have just bought these to use with an iPhone 7 but they seem to be incompatible. The cable requires a socket that is not on an iPhone 7. I don't think this was clear on the sales site as it said suitable for iPhones. Is there an adaptor available

If there's one company that tends to do well in the field of noise cancellation, it's Bose. We've seen its headphones used by so many on overseas trips, and now we're about to see a new model on the heads of people who love sound, with the highly portable QC25i.

Battery lasts around 30 or so hours; Balanced sound; Headphones work when there's no power; Remote works for iProducts; Highly portable; Comes with a nice case

Cable ends in 2.5mm jack; Noise cancellation mics on the inside don't lend themselves well to excess vibration; Headphones could have more volume

Four hours into my flight and the faint hum of the plane's engine sounds more like a roar. It's not the sound that's driving me mad, but rather the feeling it will never stop. Ever.

Active noise cancelling; Lightweight; Comfortable; Nice carry case

Interchangeable - not rechargeable - battery

When it comes to noise cancellation headphones, nobody does it quite like Bose and its the latest QuietComfort 25 headphones are easily at the top of their class. Bose has overhauled the excellent predecessor – the QC15 – and somehow has made it even better with the new QC25.

Bose has been on a tear recently, releasing a bunch of new, hip, fashionable headphones and speakers like the SoundLink Colour and FreeStyle . But the real feather in Bose's cap has always been its QuietComfort headphones, the object of envy for anyone shuffling through business class on their way...

Excellent construction; Peerless noise cancelling; Great bundled accessories

No Android-compatible cable; White and tan and aqua? Really; Expensive

Active noise cancellation doesn't come cheap in headphones, so it's not a big surprise that one of the biggest brands when it comes to ANC headphones isn't exactly known for being easy on the wallet.

The QuietComfort 25 (QC25) is the latest model to join Bose's massively popular noise-canceling headphone lineup; it replaces the QuietComfort 15, the best noise-canceling headphone I've heard, till now.Weighing just 6.9 ounces, the QC25 is one of the lightest full-size models on the market, and its...

The best noise-canceler; period; Headphones can play after batteries are drained; Light and very comfortable

Sound quality isn't stellar

Bose has long been recognised as a company that has both produced very stylish headphones/speaker systems, but not always had the backing of real audio lovers. I have to say that I have never been a person who could spend anything over £100 of my own money on headphones for my iPhone/Android or...

The Bose QuietComfort 25 are the best headphones I've ever used. I say that as someone who strives for maximum performance per dollar when purchasing headphones. I say that as someone who believes that, in most circumstances, you can find a cheaper product that performs as well, if not better, than...
