Bose Qc25 Headphones Scratchy Noise

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Headphones are a game-changer in the world of noise-canceling headphones. I've had the pleasure of using them for a while now, and I must say, they deliver an exceptional audio experience. First and foremost, the noise cancellation on these headphones is nothing short of incredible. They effortlessly drown out background noise, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in your music or podcasts. Whether you're on a noisy commute, working in a bustling coffee shop, or just need some peace and quiet at home, these headphones will do the trick. Sound quality is where Bose truly shines. The audio is crisp, clear, and well-balanced across the entire spectrum. The bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the mids and highs are rich and detailed. Whether you're listening to classical music, hip-hop, or podcasts, these headphones deliver a fantastic audio experience. Comfort is another area where the QuietComfort Ultra excels. They are incredibly lightweight and come with plush ear cushions, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. The headband is adjustable and feels secure without being too tight. They're perfect for long flights or marathon work sessions. Battery life is also impressive. With up to 20 hours of playback time on a single charge, you can enjoy your music all day without worrying about running out of power. The touch-sensitive controls on the earcups are intuitive and easy to use. You can adjust volume, skip tracks, and even answer calls with a few simple taps. These are worth every penny if you value top-notch noise cancellation, audio quality, and comfort. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Headphones are a premium choice for audiophiles and frequent travelers alike, and they have certainly earned a spot at the top of my list of favorite headphones.

I tried out the following headphones side by side:1. Beats Studio ($)2. Bose QC25 ($)3. Audio-Technica ATH-M50X ($)I didn't care much about noise cancellation because it hurts my ears if I listen to more than an hour. It appears good when you put them on in a store and listen to a few songs, but not as much when you put them on for a few hours. But AT had great sound, incredible price and the comfortable design allows me to wear them for about 3-4 hours at a stretch without feeling hurt. The best part irrespective of comfort was just the pure sound. The ATH sounded so good compared to even the Bose QC25. You have to listen them side to side in order to feel the difference. But the bass is just amazing on the ATH. Love them for my punjabi music.

clear, rich, full sound with none of the scratchy, harsh or tinny noise you usually get.

Bose is known for their amazing sound but these headphones take it to the next level. Immersive audio is the next best thing to going to a concert. Classical, punk, blue grass... it doesn't matter... it sounds like you're right there with great seats. As a mid-40's woman, I'm not the most technologically savvy person out there but setting up these headphones & pairing them to both my phone & computer was easy & now I can jam out to music during work, take a quick call, & get back to dancing around the room seamlessly. The only issue I've had since I first put these on is trying to get used to noise cancelling technology... it makes my head feel mushy. Luckily I've added to my modes to allow various levels of outside noise to come through so I can enjoy the technology without discomfort. If you're interested in high quality headphones with amazing sound capabilities, you will not be disappointed with Bose QC Ultra Headphones.

I jumped from the QC25 to the new QC Ultra headphones and it doesn't get any better than this. With the QC25 you had to slide the power button from OFF to ON or to the right in order to enable Bluetooth. Now, the QC Ultra headphones have a push button (no slide), making it easier and you can avoid leaving them ON for some time. The performance is outstanding, with the 3 modes: Aware, Quiet, and Immersion. 1) Aware lets surrounding sounds in so you know what's going on while listening to the stereo audio. 2) Quiet is your brand Bose regular noise cancellation mode. 3) Immersion is the best feature for me: full noise cancellation plus Motion. You can move or be still and the audio experiences changes depending on your movement... just amazing! You can even create your custom modes with the app, making it a more personalized experience.

As a casual listener rather than an audiophile or tech expert, my review of the Bose Ultra Quiet Comfort headphones comes from an overall impression and genuine experience with this product. Right from the start, Bose delivers an incredible sound quality that feels like hearing music anew, capturing details I never noticed with other headphones in this class. The accompanying app allows for easy customization, so you can adjust the sound to suit your personal taste. The immersive experience truly feels “out of this world.” The noise-canceling feature far surpassed my expectations, easily blocking out background distractions, making it ideal for focused listening. Comfort-wise, these headphones are incredibly lightweight compared to others in the same category, and the design feels sleek and modern. They have a smaller profile than previous models, which adds to their stylish look without compromising performance. In summary, Bose has hit it out of the park with these headphones. They offer exceptional sound quality, impressive noise-canceling capabilities, and a comfortable fit—an unbeatable combination. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier listening experience!

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are the best in the market. Great design, very comfortable and provides amazing noise cancelling. The sound, clarity is just amazing. Highly recommended.

This is my first pair of new Bose headphones since I purchased my Bose noise cancelling headphones roughly 6 years ago. The difference in the audio experience and the noise cancelling features is hands down the best yet! The fit and feel of the headphones are very comfortable, lightweight, and fit the contour of my head very nicely. Aesthetically, the headphones look top-notch and very well put together. Battery life is more than I would ever need in any given go, but I have yet to run into any performance or charging issues. Pairing the headphones with the Bose app was seamless, and the product demonstration/tutorial was fantastic. I fly a lot for work and for anyone wanting to tune out the white noise of air travel and have a truly immersive audio experience, look no further than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.
