I bought the Quiet Comfort 25's from Bose, last year and used them for about two months before selling them.
No DAC, DAP, or any special kind of amp. I plugged them in the headphone jack of my cellphone and listened to music.
The first thing I noticed, outside of Best Buy, walking back home with the headphones on my head, really pissed me off.
I don't know if I had a damaged product, or if I didn't wear the headphones properly, but whenever I walked a step, the music would
cut off for a second.
That was a huge problem.
Secondly, something else that really bothered me was the fact that the sound cancellation really hurt my head.
I had the kind of pain some people have when you're on an airplane going up and your ears get clogged.
After a couple of weeks, the pain ceased, but I still felt a difference whenever I would turn on that cancellation switch.
The sound cancellation sucked too. At first it was amazing, but after a week, my ears heard everything, even with cancellation turned on
It's as if my ears had adapted to the cancellation and found a way to bypass it or something.
The third and last thing that really annoyed me was the cable, the cable was really long.
It would get caught with my knee and then I'd yank it from the jack accidentally.
In addition, Bose made sure that if you decided to replace the cable, you'd have to buy it from them
and don't fool yourself, you will eventually have to replace it.
The cable wasn't male to male. It was male to Bose, if you get what I mean.
Anyway, let's put the cons aside.
What was great about the QC 25's was definitely how portable they were.
Although the case wasn't really practical, the fact that they could roll into a ball shape
made it take less space than any other headphone I've had.
Still, the cons outweighed the pros and is the reason why I believe the QC 25's aren't worth 300$.
