BOSE QUIETCOMFORT 25

Bose’s QuietComfort QC25 noise-cancelling headphones now come in two versions: one for iPod, iPad and iPhone models, and a newly available version for most Samsung Galaxy smartphones/tablets and Android devices. Both models have an in-line microphone and remote control to make it easier to take calls and control your music. According to Bose, its QuietComfort 25 headphones cancel more noise than any other Bose consumer headphone in history—especially at low frequencies—and have less circuit ‘hiss’ than conventional active noise-cancelling headphones. Their Active EQ circuit also delivers a smoother frequency response than any other Bose headphones, along with deep, detailed bass thanks to Bose’s TriPort technology. ‘ These improvements can be heard and felt: every recording is reproduced more naturally, regardless of genre,’ said Sean Garrett, vice president of the Bose Noise Reduction Technology Group. ‘ There is no distortion or exaggeration of instruments or vocals. Instead, the QC25 headphones stay true to Bose’s 50-year pursuit of re-creating—rather than reinventing—a live performance.’ Unlike some early Bose models, the QuietComfort 25s can be used as ordinary headphones if the battery goes flat. Bose claims the single AAA battery is good for up to 35 hours of use. The headband design of the QuietComfort 25 is proprietary to Bose, and its earpads use an engineered fabric found in high-end automotive applications. The ear cushions are made of protein leather, and the earcups feature a soft-touch TPE bumper and cast zinc pivot. The headphones fold for portability and come with a carrying case that Bose claims is smaller than any in the industry. Available now direct from Bose and Bose retail stores for $399 they will become available from Bose authorised resellers in June, 2015.
