Bose QC 25

Post by cricketfieldclarets » Mon Feb 19, 2018 7:27 pm

Anyone got any of these? Seen a very good price for some and was thinking of getting them. Anyone any experience of these vs. equivelent models from Sony, Sennheiser, B&O or anyone else for that matter? Had a look at them in person and they look and feel far superior to any other headphones.

Seen the 35 but can't justify the extra for what is effectively functions I wouldn't use (Google assist) or am not THAT arsed about (wireless) unless anyone can convince me otherwise.

Will mainly use them on flights.

Thanks in advance.

My daughter bought me a pair for Christmas and I love them. I cannot compare them to any other make or model though. I find the noise cancelling absolutely brilliant.

Yes have tested them in the airport and they felt and sounded great.

I have the QC35's and absolutely love them. Also use them mostly on flights or the train down to the smoke (I'm lucky enough to travel a lot with work), for which they are immense.

I had the QC15's before, which I handed on to the Mrs before they promptly broke.

Might be worth testing some out somewhere as lots of folk will tell you that Bose have too much bass, so it's probably a good idea to check they are to your taste.

Get yourself some Beats (by Dre) man - they've got to be the best because all the footballers have them ;)

More seriously: my hearing has deteriorated pretty badly over the past 15 years, especially at higher frequencies so I need to get something with subdued base so I can get the volume up without rattling the furniture. I find Bose generally has too much base, Sennheissers for me.
Always best to try and get to a shop where you can take your ipod and try out various sets with a sample of the type of music you usually listen to.

Tes tried the qc 35 and 25 in store. Personally couldnt tell much if any difference at all. Certainly not on the sound.

Music is quite varied. So i guess its hard to judge on that. Actually listen to more audio books, ted talks and youtube type stuff tjan music too if that helps.

Yes will be mainly on planes and trains. Dont really listen outside of that. (Oh and the sofa if shes watching some ****!!!)
