The Bose headphones have excellent bass, but the Beats are obviously tuned for the low end.-Both headphones have a hard case that they fold into.

The case it comes with is nice too and it comes with a battery.

Buy the extended warranty when you purchase these in case you're as unlucky as me

Smaller case for travel, sound just as good if not better than the

They also have a very nice carrying case they fold into

Replaced my Bose old Quiet Comfort headphones, and it's a real improvement

So if comfort is your primary concern like me, get this!

These QC25 offer the same comfort fit and noise canceling.

I finally decided to spend the $300 and get a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 25 Noise Cancelling phones

this has better noise reduction, comfort and fit, and looks much better than my previously owned headphones.

Was very happy with these headphones for ~5 months until I lost all audio and noise cancelling in the left ear (apparently this is a relatively common problem).Bose agreed to replace the headphones, but I have to pay to have them shipped to them

Now the bad: approximately 11 months after purchase, my headphones started to lose noise canceling in the right ear

I loved these headphones - very good noise cancelling and good sound

Great noise cancelling and great sound for both music and movies/tv

they are amazing headpones with great noise cancelling and good sound quality

I was very happy with the performance of my headphones, but one of the speakers/drivers failed a shortly after my warranty ended

My desk happens to be near a loud a/c unit outside the other side of the wall

Excellent sound quality, good noise cancellation and very comfortable

Check the web for pervasive known problem with losing all sound and noise cancellation in one or both sides.

Very comfortable and noise cancellation works very well on airplanes and people speaking.

It has good sound quality but very poor noise cancelling function !

These headphones are very good at what they advertise: providing good quality sound with good noise cancelling

The sound quality is pretty good, but the overall quality is poor, for $300

Exceptional noise canceling and very good sound quality

I was also disappointed that the sound quality when noise cancelling is turned off is quite poor

Great sound when listening to music but noise cancelling is a zero

Great noise cancelling and great sound for both music and movies/tv

These sound great, are comfortable, noise cancelling is amazing.

Great sound and superb noise reduction on the airplane.

How can Bose put out such a crappy product for this price?

Bose is aware of manufacturing problem but wants me to buy new one to replace their defective product

Good product, but I was expecting superior quality sounds

but I had purchased several headphones with noise cancelling and product from bose is the best

really enjoy the product, sound quality is very good and they've held up really well

Especially good on airplanes at blocking out unwanted noise and the sound is great.

Annoying switching noise when you have the headphones on and turn their power on/off

I have been using some cheaper noise cancelling headphones by Able Planet.

Now in July 2018 the left ear on my headphones fails again.

I have only had these headphones 3 months and the right ear stopped working

I owned them for about 18 months before the sound cut out in the right ear

I just opened it and the right ear does not produce any sound

The headphones produce good sound but after light use, the right ear stopped working

Love them for noise cancelling as well as for phone calls

I frequently go on two-hour car rides with my family and the noise canceling really blocks out noise in the car as well as on airplanes

I also use these for gaming at home as well as on the airplane whenever I travel

come with Apple and Android cables as well as a cable with no mic or control.

Noise canceling is fantastic, but the audio cable is incredibly fragile

Since we have 2 pairs, it's a design flaw, and needs to be fixed.e

The comfort and noise canceling of these QuietComfort 25’s are on par with the newer QC 35‘s

Now I am concerned that this is a design flaw and it will get worse with time

I dont know if this is a design flaw or a case of use of substandard materials

A $300 pair of headphones should not have such a weak cord, and furthermore should actually work on the first day of using these headphones!I am extremely irritated that I have spent almost 2 weeks trying to make these headphones work.

NOT TESTED:Have not used the cord for music or calling, cannot say how well the cord mic works

Put these on in your living room and marvel at how suddenly quiet the room becomes.+ plugged into iPod classic, sound is crystal clear; listening to audio books is like having the reader in your living room.+ volume controls and pause buttons on cord work beautifully+ cups completely and comfortably cover my ears - and they're large+ these are light

forget I have them on and break the cord rendering the headphones useless

so if I pull a boneheaded play, I either pull the cord out or break it

Bucause of the loose Jack connection the sound only works in the right ear then the left ear then both then no sound at all you must constantly move the Jack connection to receive proper sound I tried two sets to make sure factory defect

The slightest movement of your head will compromise this connection and you will lose sound in one or both ear cups

There was a spotty connection and if the cable was touched during use the sound to the right ear would cut out

This new unit uses a standard jack and the slightest stress on the jack causes it to loose connection

They would not maintain a consistent connection and were very sensitive to movement.

I've always looked upon Bose as being a high-end brand, something that people could be proud of, something solid to hold and to use

Check the many poor reviews of the replacement cable on their website to see how many people have similar issues

If you google "Bose QuietComfort 25 issues" you will see that many people have had this same issue.

If you look at the negative reviews, you will see many people have the same problem: they stop working in one of the ear cups...that's the most common problem

Overall, I recommend these to anyone who travels or commutes on public transportation or airplanes a lot since they block out outside noise very well, or people who are listening to lectures for class or music while studying

I have noisy upstairs neighbors and these headphones work fantastic for muffling loud footsteps and help me fall asleep

I even used them in a hotel with noisy neighbors and enjoyed a great nights sleep.

I have hyperacusis and misphonia, and needed something to help me tolerate noises in my home office in the city (construction sounds, noisy neighbors, etc.)

I have noisy upstairs neighbors and these headphones work fantastic for muffling loud footsteps and help me fall asleep

But these headphones have managed to nearly completely block out the noisy neighbors that live above me

Totally meets expectations, high quality of sound, good noise cancelation, I'm really glad having this item at work in noisy office sometimes.

Great for air travel and for use in a sometimes noisy graduate student office (even without turning on the noise cancelling feature).

I work in a noisy office and these have been a real life saver for me.

I am a regular person and not a sound engineer or anything like that; I purchased these noise canceling headphones because I work downtown and my office is surrounded by heavy construction project noise, combined with a loud office environment in a job that requires concentration; on top of that, I am noise-sensitive

away.-The microphone is not good for noisy environments such as an office.
