To the devices
QC 20 Unfortunately I could not try it because it is always sold just closed. This little thing is really very well what can, but we must not forget that the whole story behind NCR in an extra box that would like to be carried around with quite rigid and inflexible and short cable has. In his shirt pocket the ensemble no longer fits and it gets in the pants also apply. That was the KO Kritierium before the Sound Test
QC25 I tested longer. Fantastic NCR! Really great! It makes Plöp and it's quiet. Great effect - but that was unfortunately. The headset looks like max. 50 EU value. Clear nice and light, but cables and connectors make a good impression. If I do not want to spend over 200eu for something because even super careful with. So NCR is really good. It has a very wide range and swallows a lot of higher-frequency sounds.
Unfortunately, music was not. Without NCR does that sound to Dosentelefon because simply lacks everything that makes music. With NCR, the music is very powerful. He has not treble, mid do not fall on - and then only comes Bass. Not precise of course, but dull, soft and squishy. If I did not like - especially for radio plays and classical music that's a totally improper Bass. In dull jazz things or metal it fits well. Even with the most pop one would leave the pass as sound enhancement to normal headphones - mine is not. The NCR system from Bose is a also a slightly unpleasant sensation of pressure on the ears - especially at the beginning.

And suddenly quiet? No only sämtliches droning, buzzing and rumbling away.
Well the thing is huge compared to the Bose and heavy. This has put me off first. If you have it on you realize it but not much. It is well balanced and it is firmly on the head. I even so a bit rumdösen can. Sweating keeps within limits. Cable can be removed. There are 2 cable here - very nice. The construction seems sturdy and here Sony has really set a high production quality of the day - this is Apple's level. By the bag can not really go wrong, even with something rougher bumps. Very valuable and timeless in design.
The sound without NCR's OK - nothing special - for 50 EU that would be good more bass than the Bose without NCR - one can easily bear, but actually you have not purchased the yes part of it. With NCR one experiences (for a NCR headphones) probably the best thing you can offer there. The bass are fairly accurate and not dull. The centers are full, the highs a little too brilliant. Very clean sound. What surprised me the size. In some shots we think we see the orchestra in front of him. This is a great effect, even when radio plays, which I I had long been characteristic surprised how much here the voices are really separated.
Otherwise, the NCR is phenomenal for low tones. At least on Bose level. But the effect will stop earlier and then it comes to funny situation. You can hear (NCR without music) suddenly much better what the stewardess says, wondering why she cries so. One hears the row behind a pretty good. It's like the only flyer slide - indescribably good. Audiobooks I can now hear the plane. Travelling at all is a lot more relaxed. That was a great investment - especially since he now costs less than the Bose!
