    Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones for Apple devices - Black (wired, 3.5mm)

    • NOT TESTED:Have not used the cord for music or calling, cannot say how well the cord mic works
    • No-tangle cord is a blessing.
    • I've tested various configurations, and narrowed the problem to the headphone unit itself - not the cord or music source.
    • I have samsung devices, and the cord works well within android to pause/play/skip tracks even in 3rd-party apps (Spotify).
    • They one issue that gets to me, is the cord
    • 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.
    • I give them a 4 instead of a 5, as the (a) cord plugs into the left ear only (and the way my desk is setup, i wanted the cord to come down my right side) and (b) the cord comes loose out of the plug in the earphone much easier than i would have anticipated.
    • I hate the cord, but love the sound.
    • The cord on it broke the first day
    • After a few months of use, I began to constantly hear in the left ear the dang loose connection as well as a thump cord transmitted along the cord
    • And no its not the cord, the noise canceling also sputters in and out even without the cable.
    • so if I pull a boneheaded play, I either pull the cord out or break it
    • I hate the cord, but love the sound.
    • When the cord is just right, they are fantastic but when the cord is not just right the right speaker goes silent.
    • The cord is kind of annoying when when everything else at your desk is wireless.
    • Pros:-Reasonably comfortable-Noise cancelling is fine, though not any better than most cheaper competitors-Sound quality is fine, but again not any better than most cheaper competitorsCons-The cord is awful.
    • 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.
    • forget I have them on and break the cord rendering the headphones useless
    • If you want a great corded headset this one works.
    • Didn't like the cord but the sound quality was off the charts!
    • No-tangle cord is a blessing.
    • On both the 15s and 25s, I had some concern about what seems to be a proprietary cord and the material that covers the ear cups.
    • Others have indicated a problem with reducing sound on airplanes but to me that is insignificant, especially since you can still control volume through whichever device you are plugged into.-Proprietary cord.
    • Cons:- the removable cord could be a foot longer- the controls on the cord could be a tad larger for people with larger hands- with noise cancellation off, I think these may be a step down in sound quality compared to my Sony Studio Monitor headphones
    • The cord that connects to the earphones is finicky and sensitive, which means if it's not perfectly connected, you only get sound in your left ear
    • :They used a 2.5mm plug for the headset, so you're stuck with special adapters if you lose your cord
    • 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
    • I called Bose and they are sending me a new Android cord free of charge.
    • One thing I didn't like, is you have to be creative to properly store a cord with remote so that case closes easily and the cord won't get damaged
    • Cord also comes loose too easily.
    • My desk happens to be near a loud a/c unit outside the other side of the wall
    • After about 10 minutes, I tried again and alas, L started working and R was dead
    • However, now the R ear no longer works
    • Verified again and L was active and R was dead
