According to our headphones expert
The active noise-canceling feature muffles distracting ambient noise and white noise.
Use the Apple remote control in the cable to control your music.
Make hands-free phone calls via the microphone.
The remote control in the cable is only suitable for Apple devices and doesn't work optimally with Android products.
If the noise-cancelling feature is switched off, or the battery is dead, the sound quality isn't as good.
Whether at home, on the plane, or in the train, you'll be able to listen peacefully to your music with the Bose QuietComfort 25. The effective noise canceling in the over-ear headphones muffles the sound of airplane engines, wind, or traffic. Thanks to Bose's Triport technology, you'll enjoy clear, detailed sound with warm bass. The QuietComfort 25 has an integrated remote and microphone for Apple devices to make hands-free calls. The headphones aren't rechargeable, but work on 1 AAA battery. One AAA battery has an average battery life of 35 hours. Be sure to switch on the noise canceling feature so you'll be able to fully enjoy the high-quality sound of the headphones.
Noise cancelling: I bought these headphones because I listen to a lot of music every day, especially on the buses and trains. I had hoped that the noise canceling would quieten the noise of public transport and the busy people talking around me, and this is certainly the case. Even without music, I can travel peacefully with these headphones without hearing everyone around me talking. Somewhat louder sounds can still be heard, but with a little music, these sounds also disappear.
Sound: I am very satisfied with the sound. These headphones have a very realistic sound, especially when the noise canceling is on. A small point of attention is that the headphones have less bass. I mainly listen to metal, which doesn't always come into its own with these headphones. The reason I chose these headphones despite my music taste is because they are very comfortable.
Weight: One of the main reasons I ended up going for these headphones is because they are very comfortable. I myself have a fairly small head, so many headphones will quickly be too big or too heavy. With its 195 grams and small model, these headphones are very suitable to wear all day long, without getting any problems with my neck or ears. The soft ear cushions also make it very comfortable. I also play a lot myself, where I often have the headphones on for hours on end, but I've never had any problems with it. (Of course, the headphones are also adjustable in size, so people with a slightly larger head will also fit them).
Points of attention: The noise canceling works on batteries and lasts a long time (about 30 hours I estimate), but as soon as the batteries start to run out it becomes annoying. The noise canceling will then cut out every few minutes, and more and more often, causing the music to cut out for 1-2 seconds. It took me a while to figure out what was causing it, but after replacing the battery it worked perfectly again. The headphones come in a sturdy storage bag, with space for an extra battery.

Bought the headphones for my work to be less distracted by ambient noise.
I don't really have a frame of reference for noise attenuation of headphones, but I can say that it performs more than enough for me. With the exception of the higher frequencies, loud music is almost completely filtered out, but the higher frequencies also disappear when you put music on.
The sound quality is worth 5 stars with the active noise canceling, but is very poor when the active noise canceling is off (which makes me give it a 4 star rating). I also don't think the headphones are intended for use with the noise canceling off.
The active noise cancellation is powered by a single AAA battery. I think a battery lasts about 40 hours, but I haven't paid much attention to that. A small handy feature of the supplied case is that it has a holder where a spare battery can be stored, so I always make sure I have one or two extra batteries with me. I haven't used rechargeable batteries yet, but I don't see why I shouldn't.
In terms of wearing comfort, it is also a super product; I use the headphones 8-10 hours a day, and have not had any complaints about the comfort. Also, the headphones do not have to be "worn in"; thought the wearing comfort was perfect right out of the box.
A single minor flaw that I can criticize the headphones is that they can be somewhat noisy on the outside, but with low volume this is actually not too bad.
In conclusion: It's a reasonable investment, but if you're planning on using the headphones on a daily basis and the silence improves your productivity, then it's basically no money left. It does what it's supposed to do well, so definitely recommended.

I have sensitive ears that hurt easily but love listening to music and watching movies. The Quietcomfort 25 allows this at a much lower volume in a much higher quality than all other headphones I know. In the train, car or plane, the experience is truly incredible. You put on the headphones, you flip the switch on the side and then it's magical.....it's like the engine of the car goes off, the train disappears and the sonorous hum of the plane is completely gone!. Delicious. And then the music isn't even turned on... You hear the full depth of the music much better by eliminating that ambient noise. Highly recommended and totally worth the money!
