    Customers are mixed about the performance of the headphones. Some mention that they worked too well and had to limit their use at work since they are overly loud. The sound quality is excellent and well-balanced, and the battery works about as advertised. However, others say that the first pair stopped working and the ear protectors failed, the headphones do not play well with any sort of bass boosting, and that the headband serves no purpose.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the battery life of the headphones.

    I'll start by stating that I am replacing an older pair of active noise canceling headphones that I used for 5-6 hours/day for the past four years in varying office environments. The old pair had a plastic swivel attaching the ear cup to the head band which finally broke after about a thousand times (literally, do the math) placing them into and taking them out of the case.As I mentioned I use these headphones primarily in an office environment to listen to music (I'm a software developer) and/or to just block out the constant hum of HVAC systems, etc. I've been reading countless of reviews on numerous headphones looking for something that fits my needs and after much consideration I settled on the QC25's.The main things I took into consideration when looking for my replacement headphones were: comfort, sound quality, noise cancelation, noise leakage, craftsmanship/durability, battery life, case, style, features (wireless/playback control/etc), and price. Here's how the QC25 rates:Comfort - 5/5 - These are the most comfortable non-studio headphones I have ever worn. They are fairly light weight and have a large over-ear design. The ear cups are also fairly deep so there's no contact between my ears and the ear pieces at all. The cups rotate to allow you to wear these comfortably on your head however you desire. The material on the ear cups is a soft foam filled leather that doesn't apply too much pressure to the side of the head (I wear glasses so ear comfort is of utmost importance to me). There is also a foam filled suede material on the top of the headband making the headphones rest comfortably on your head.Sound Quality - 5/5 - Excellent and well balanced. If you're looking for headphones that just amplify the lows and the highs, these are not for you. If you want solid lows, crisp highs and a pronounced mid-range then look no further. These headphones play the music as-is and let you control any equalization you feel is necessary for your best listening experience. I suppose if you're just into thumping base and are listening from a mobile device that doesn't support custom equalization you may be better off with a different brand.Noise Cancelation - 5/5 - The first thing I did when I got these is pop in the included battery and walk into my furnace room (the furnace was running) to see the impact and it was profound. These far outperformed my previous noise canceling headphones (which weren't too shabby). At work I sit near a call center where there are typically 4-6 people on the phone during busier times. There are also heat pump units in the ceiling which hum and buzz throughout the day (especially since the temperatures have been in the single digits the past several weeks). The second I flip the switch on all of the humming and buzzing is gone without a trace. The call center noise is also greatly reduced (I'd say about 70% quieter than without the headphones on) to the point that I have a hard time focusing on any one conversation. This is of course remedied when I turn on some music and the awesome sound quality completely drowns out any remaining distractions. I frequently have colleagues walk up and do jumping jacks to get my attention as I don't even hear them knocking on my desk when I'm "in the zone".Noise Leakage - 4/5 - One of my slight disappointments with the QC25 is the level of noise leakage (the amount of sound that can be heard by people nearby). At a comfortable listening level the noise leakage can be heard from 4-5 feet away. If you like to listen to your music loud, expect people up to 10 feet away (in quiet environments) to sing along with your tunes. I'm currently in a cubicle environment so the closest person to me is about 5 feet away, however at my previous office I sat 3 feet from another guy with no divider so it definitely would have been an issue there (except he wore headphones all day as well ;).Craftsmanship/Durability - 5/5 - I only have a couple pairs of headphones to compare these to but they look like they are made well. The joints and swivels are made with metal parts and are fastened with screws. The headband is made from a metal ribbon surrounded by plastic. The cup internals are covered with a rugged cloth (as opposed to the foam covering which often disintegrates after extended use). The ear cups are a foam filled leather material that seems durable (same style on my old headphones and those lasted 4+ years). Even the cord is made with sturdy gold-plated ends. They flex well and seem like they would last a long time even on larger heads. (I had a friend who ate through headphones due to his large head).Battery Life - 4/5 - So far the battery life on these is acceptable. The noise canceling feature is typically on for 6-8 hours a day and I find that so far I've gone 2-3 days before swapping batteries. I am also using some older rechargeable batteries which probably don't have the same life that they once did. I have not completely drained a standard AAA battery to see how much life you get out of those. The battery life is comparable to my old headphones (which is where the batteries came from) and is sufficient for my needs.Case - 4/5 - The carrying case included with the headphones is sturdy and has a nice look/feel to it. The headphones fold up rather small and fit neatly into the case leaving just enough room for the included headphone cable and maybe an adapter or two. There is an elastic pouch on the back side of the case but it is designed more for storing your instruction manual or thin items (perhaps an extra cable?). Because of my obsessive use of the headphones I own a small USB powered AAA batter charger which fit perfectly into my old case...when my batteries were low I could pull out the charger and charge a battery while my backup was in the headphones...not so with this new case. Fortunately I almost always use the headphones with my macbook pro so I can keep the battery charger in my laptop bag when I need it. Aside from that, the case is very compact and does include a little slot for a spare battery (one AAA is included) as well as an airplane adapter.Style - 5/5 - I own the black design and I like them. I'm not a style buff when it comes to headphones but I certainly don't want some big ugly things on my head. These are sleek with an undertone of teal on the cups and on the in-line playback controller. The plastic is a brushed style and I am overall very pleased with how these look.Features - 4/5 - The only feature I was passively looking for in headphones that these don't have is wireless capabilities. This isn't a show stopper for me, of course, since I came from wired headphones and I am typically always at my desk when using them. Again, I do not use these while walking about listening to music from my phone or music player so I can't speak to that experience. There are inline playback controls which consists of a small (1.25" long) control with three buttons. There is a volume up button, a volume down button and a center button to control playback. A single press of the center button will play/pause your music, a double-tap of the button will skip to the next track and a triple-tap will skip to the previous track. I already have keyboard controls for this functionality but I imagine if listening to a music device (that supports inline playback controls) this would be convenient.Price - 4/5 - Who doesn't want more for less? For the quality and package you get the price is fair. If you're looking for an exceptional pair of headphones with great noise canceling, great sound and decent features this is a great option to consider.Overall - 4.5/5 - I would recommend these to anyone that doesn't mind being wired to their audio source and who doesn't mind anyone within their reach being able to hear what they're listening to. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would buy them again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amo queste cuffie
    Reviewed in Italy on March 4, 2019
    E' vero, per la qualità del suono è meglio rivolgersi altrove, ma sono comunque delle cuffie che mediamente soddisferanno le esigenze di tutti (fuorché i più puri audiofili). Per praticità dividerò la recensione in aspetti positivi e aspetti negativi. Preciso subito che comunque non sono un audiofilo e baso la mia recensione sulla base della mia esperienza d'uso in quasi 3 mesi e mezzo di utilizzo. Ho aspettato appositamente a scrivere la recensione in modo tale da provare le cuffie in tutte le situazioni: a casa, in treno, in autobus, in aereo, in auto ecc.

    ASPETTI POSITIVI
    + ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo: ho acquistato queste BOSE QuietComfort 25 a 160 euro durante il Black Friday verso fine novembre 2018, vendute e spedite da Amazon con garanzia Amazon per almeno 2 anni dal momento dell'acquisto;

    + ergonomia di alto livello: le cuffie sono veramente molto comode e sono pensate per un utilizzo a lungo termine, infatti, anche dopo diverse ore di utilizzo continuato, non ho riscontrato alcun dolore alla testa, alle orecchie, ecc. Indosso gli occhiali durante il lavoro e queste cuffie non danno alcun tipo di fastidio e, anzi, si adattano perfettamente senza mai stringere la testa. Inoltre, posso dire che non mi hanno mai surriscaldato i lobi delle orecchie, anche se fino ad oggi le ho potute usare soltanto nei mesi autunnali e invernali...vedremo in primavera ed estate;

    + i materiali costruttivi sono di qualità e soprattutto sono ben assemblati, non traballano, non si sentono fruscii, scricchiolii e vibrazioni durante l'ascolto, risultano leggere da indossare ma al tempo stesso sono danno un senso di solidità e compattezza quando si impugnano e quando si tengono in testa. L'archetto è semplicemente perfetto;

    + fantastica longevità della batteria: la modalità di noise cancelling funziona inserendo la batteria nell'apposito spazio e attivando il sistema con il pulsante posto sul padiglione destro. La batteria Energizer non ricaricabile già inclusa nella confezione è durata molte più ore di quante sono stimate nella descrizione del prodotto (c'è scritto infatti che durano mediamente 25 ore, ma a me la batteria che era inclusa è durata per quasi 40 ore di utilizzo e l'ho sostituita con una batteria ricaricabile, una delle tante acquistabili su Amazon ad un ottimo prezzo);

    + sistema di noise cancelling: ho provato le QC35 e sinceramente non ho riscontrato grosse differenze nel sistema di noise cancelling, mi trovo benissimo con le QC25 che sono appunto il modello precedente senza Bluetooth ma che in modalità di cancellazione dei rumori possono essere utilizzate anche senza cavo se non si desidera ascoltare della musica o altri file audio. La riduzione del rumore delle QC25 è perfetta, le ho utilizzate in tutte le condizioni, in casa durante le pulizie con aspirapolvere, mentre lavo i piatti, pulisco i bagni, fino ad un paio di viaggi intercontinentali in aereo, trasferte in auto e tratte interregionali in treno...la riduzione è fantastica. Filtrano i rumori delle voci, anche se naturalmente indossando i padiglioni vengono attutite di molto e filtrano anche rumori come il suono dell'acqua che fuoriesce dal rubinetto del lavandino, ma che viene comunque attutito e se, insieme, si ascolta musica non si sente nemmeno più (questo vale anche per le voci, infatti se attiviamo il noise cancelling insieme all'ascolto di musica, anche tenendo un volume medio di ascolto, non sentiremo più le voci esterne). Sistema di cancellazione del rumore quindi promosso a pieni voti, in aereo ci si fa delle dormite fantastiche ed è compreso anche l'adattatore per utilizzarle in aereo.

    + buona qualità audio: come ho già avuto modo di scrivere sopra, mediamente la qualità audio accontenterà tutti. Ascolto praticamente ogni genere di musica e mi sono sempre trovato molto bene con l'ascolto. Il plus è ascoltare musica con il noise cancelling attivo che contribuisce ad isolare l'ascolto eliminando qualsiasi rumore in sottofondo. Avendo dei vicini rumorosi, utilizzo queste cuffie anche in casa collegandole alla televisione o ad altri apparecchi quando voglio isolarmi dai rumori esterni e dei vicini. Sono consapevole che per quanto riguarda la qualità, nel senso più puro del termine, queste cuffie non sono adatte per un audiofilo il quale però dovrebbe già sapere bene che queste non sono cuffie per audiofili, bensì per un target di utenti ben diverso, sicuramente più orientato ad unire l'utile del noise cancelling con un qualità di ascolto soddisfacente ma non certo per palati che cercano l'eccellenza in cuffia, per la quale bisogna spendere cifre ben più alte, cifre che peraltro io al momento non ritengo di voler spendere.

    + esteticamente sono cuffie molto belle, certo non hanno lo stesso impatto visivo delle Beats, ma sono due prodotti diversi e io sinceramente preferisco queste Bose QC25 e di gran lunga;

    + ho scelto la versione per Android, ma provandole con dispositivi Apple devo dire che funzionano ugualmente, l'unica differenza è che in quest'ultimo caso non funzioneranno i tastini di controllo posti sul filo delle cuffie per la regolazione del volume, cambio traccia audio, risposta alle chiamate ecc. Per il resto l'audio e il sistema di noise cancelling funzionano perfettamente sia su dispositivi Android come sui dispositivi Apple;

    + la custodia Bose permette di riporre le cuffie quando non si usano per lunghi periodi e consente di trasportarle facilmente in giro, senza contare che all'interno c'è uno spazio adatto per riporre una pila mini stilo (AAA) di riserva e l'adattatore per l'aereo. Sul retro della custodia c'è una tasca elastica per riporre ciò che si vuole tenere a portata di mano;

    ASPETTI NEGATIVI
    - l'unico vero aspetto negativo che ho rilevato è la grandezza della custodia che, per questo prezzo che comunque non è regalato, poteva essere leggermente più capiente per riporre meglio non le cuffie bensì il cavo delle cuffie. Infatti, le cuffie sono pieghevoli e compatte, si ripongono facilmente, ma poi bisogna anche inserire il cavo nella custodia e cercare di non rovinarlo e al tempo stesso cercare di riporlo senza che si graffino i padiglioni delle cuffie. E' certamente un dettaglio, il classico pelo nell'uovo, ma volendo trovare un difetto a queste cuffie direi che è questo, quindi un difetto di custodia più che di cuffie, sempre se di difetto si può parlare.

    - la qualità audio non la considero un difetto in quanto queste sono cuffie di buona qualità anche sotto questo aspetto e secondo me un audiofilo dovrebbe saper riconoscere in partenza che queste non sono cuffie adatte per il suo utilizzo. Queste cuffie non costano poco ma svolgono il loro lavoro che è quello di consentire una buona esperienza di ascolto e al tempo stesso sfruttare la riduzione del rumore che è di realizzata veramente molto bene.

    CONFRONTI
    1) Confronto con Bose QC35: venendo al sodo direi che le QC25 differiscono dalle QC35 soltanto per quanto riguarda il Bluetooth. Infatti mentre le QC35 possono essere utilizzate con il Bluetooth, le QC25 possono essere utilizzate soltanto via cavo per l'ascolto della musica e anche senza cavo se si vuole usufruire soltanto del noise cancelling. Per il resto, la qualità audio è sostanzialmente la medesima e questo l'ho potuto confrontare abbondantemente, idem per quanto riguarda la comodità delle cuffie, infatti le forme e le dimensioni sono identiche. Fondamentalmente, oltre al Bluetooth, variano solo le colorazioni disponibili, il sistema di ricarica (infatti le QC35 funzionano ricaricando la batteria che non è estraibile come lo è invece nelle QC25) e, infine, per la possibilità di adattare il livello del sistema noise cancelling in base alle diverse situazioni ambientali regolandolo in tre modalità, da una di riduzione soft del rumore fino a quella più intensa. Sinceramente però la riduzione del rumore delle QC25 non ha nulla da invidiare al livello più intenso di riduzione del rumore previsto nelle QC35. In sostanza, quindi, se desiderate anche la modalità di funzionamento via Bluetooth e non vi interessa di avere la possibilità di estrarre e cambiare la batteria quando si scarica o ha problemi, allora potete optare per le Bose Qc35 che costano comunque considerevolmente di più, mentre invece se preferite poter gestire la batteria da soli e se usare le cuffie via cavo non è un fastidio, allora acquistando le Qc25 potrete avere un gran bel prodotto risparmiando anche dei soldi.

    2) Confronto con SoundLink Around Ear II: anche in questo caso differisce la presenza del Bluetooth che manca invece nelle Qc25, ma per il resto le Qc25 non hanno nulla da invidiare a questo modello in quanto la qualità costruttiva mi ha convinto di più, infatti nelle SoundLink più volte sento degli scricchiolii mentre le indosso, non hanno la stessa comodità delle Qc25, hanno una qualità audio più bassa e la presenza del Bluetooth di certo non ne aumenta la qualità di ascolto, ma fornisce soltanto una possibilità di utilizzo diversa. Insomma se dovessi scegliere tra questi due modelli, ormai a parità di prezzo, sceglierei sicuramente le Qc25, per quanto le SoundLink possano essere un buon compromesso tra Qc25 e Qc35, seppur con meno qualità sia nel noise cancelling, sia nella qualità audio generale.

    3) Confronto con Beats Solo 3: le ho potute confrontare prima e dopo l'acquisto con Beats Solo 3 le quali sono migliori soltanto per quanto riguarda la potenza dei bassi e l'estetica, ma in generale posso dire che le Bose QC25 sono tutt'oggi più comode se si indossano per molte ore di seguito, il noise cancelling fa la differenza in quanto le Solo 3 ne sono sprovviste, il suono è più equilibrato nelle Bose rispetto alle Beats che sono ancora più sbilanciate nonostante siano un modello più nuovo. Le Bose QC25 non hanno il Bluetooth e possono essere utilizzate soltanto via cavo per ascoltare musica, mentre le Beats possono essere usato con Bluetooth e anche via cavo, tra l'altro funzionano anche quando la batteria è scarica, a differenza delle Beats Studio 3.

    4) Confronto con Sennheiser PXC 550: dico subito che le Qc25 sono molto più comode da indossare, sono più leggere e si adattano meglio alla testa. Inoltre, dopo diverse ore di ascolto le Qc25 sembra ancora di non averle quasi indossate, mentre invece le PXC 550 scaldano e ho dovuto toglierle a più riprese. In particolare, le PXC 550 non sono molto user friendly con i portatori di occhiali da vista o da sole. Certo, anche le PXC 550 hanno il Bluetooth che invece le Qc25 non possiedono, ma per il resto, anche per la qualità audio, ho trovato molto meglio le Qc25. Per quanto le Sennheiser PXC 550 siano indiscutibilmente un buon prodotto, tuttavia, a mio modesto parere, non c'è paragone con le Qc25 e Qc35 che risultano più comode da indossare, più leggere, meglio assemblate e con una qualità audio migliore. Il noise cancelling tanto decantato per queste Sennheiser, l'ho trovato invece più spento rispetto ai due modelli di Bose.

    IN CONCLUSIONE
    Cercavo delle cuffie di buona qualità con un'ottima riduzione del rumore e senza il Bluetooth, magari anche con la batteria intercambiabile. Inutile dire che le Bose QuietComfort 25 erano il prodotto perfetto per ciò che stavo cercando e non hanno deluso le mie aspettative perché prima di acquistarle ho avuto la possibilità di provarle a lungo. Il Bluetooth può tornare sicuramente utile a molti, ma io sinceramente invece non lo utilizzo con le cuffie e il cavo delle Bose Qc25 è lungo a sufficienza per non creare alcun genere di fastidi anche quando si utilizzano le cuffie in movimento e in viaggio. Se dovessi acquistare ancora delle cuffie sceglierei ancora queste Bose, un ottimo compromesso tra prezzo, buona qualità audio, ottimo noise cancelling ed eccezionale comodità dopo molte ore di utilizzo anche per chi indossa gli occhiali. Lascio qualche foto e spero di essere stato utile.
