1. Order
Went as always super fast - because it was urgent I have the Morning Express used, not even 18h and the package was there. Class.
2. Unpacking
The headphones come in a fancy packaging, it is a really high-quality and stylish Hard-Case, which offers enough space for cables, headphones, spare battery and airplane adapter next to an exterior pocket inside.
3. Processing
Criticisms of the old QC 15 were always the cheap-looking plastic processing and the many. The QC 25 makes much better here. Although he is still plastic, but this seems, I think, very high quality and the materials are combined with one another harmoniously. The headband in suede can all look even more noble. Small screws and metallic-looking hinges indicate a quality installation and a long service life.
4.Passform
Because the comfort of each is perceived differently, which also everyone should try for yourself. I personally feel that he really is seated optimally and even after several hours is not unpleasant. Also on the ears, it is never too warm.
5. Sound
In some tests, we read that the sound is good but not outstanding and extremely loses quality with switched off NC. I can not connect all me. I find the sound with NC absolutely great - it is clear and consistent without excessive bass. When switched off, affects the whole somewhat dull and no longer so clear. With average headphones, the sound can also keep up forever. For whom is not enough, you can always carry a spare battery in case security.
6. NC
The parade discipline of Bose. Here you can just say - WOW. All annoying noises such as water pipes, washing machine, trampling roommate, lawnmowers, etc. have disappeared. Since earplugs come with. The typically caused by NC noise is forgotten almost imperceptible and fast. I can concentrate on my studies myself finally, without me having to listen to music to drown out annoying sounds loud.
Whether in the NC but has done a lot compared to the QC 15 I can not say, as these were already very very good.
This comparison I leave he prefers professionals.
7. Conclusion
300 is a lot of money. Whether you want to spend so much for a headphone everyone must decide for themselves. but as I who from time to time just to forget everything around, which I can the QC 25 Bose recommend. Those who previously had the QC 15 not bought, because it has the appearance not promised, I can say that Bose has done some better with this sequel.
