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

The QC25s are arguably the flagship personal audio product from Bose, destined to show up at every airport you visit for the next five to ten years. But like the QC15s before them, the QC25s are battery-dependent.

"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

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.

Bose has long-held the title of the maker of the best active noise-cancelling headphones available, per reviewers of a wide variety of publications and from a range of backgrounds.

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.

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.

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.
