the bose qc25 urges of the QC 20 the standard set which i have here and the QC 20 our come with two additional buttons which work iphone music control and Siri voice commands the android blackberry and windows compatible QCs 20 still comes with the standard answer and call button and the aware mode control once you simply slide the box from the sleeve you open the Bo's flap once the flap is open and the protective foam is removed you will see the headphones both earbuds and the control module are fully exposed and ready to go once you pull the plastic housing out of the way there is some documentation for support and then a bolus carrying case the carrying case is a nylon mesh material inside you have documentation for the headphones and also the state ear tips the state your tips are bose patented design that are made for comfort and a great seal it also comes with the USB cable for charging the noise cancellation features the quiet comfort earbuds at first glance appears to be like any other normal earbuds but when you take a closer look you see a few differences first there's a three and a half by one and a quarter inch module this control module allows you to turn on and off the noise cancellation but I first heard about the noise cancellation I cringed a bit because I assume conventional batteries were being used I was quickly relieved when I saw that it has a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery and it supported the standard microUSB cable for charging meaning you're never too far away from a charger the built-in rechargeable batteries provides up to 16 hours of listening time but what is really unique is that you can even listen when the battery is drained just the noise cancellation features will not be active fortunately both has also included a battery indicator light to tell you when the juice is running low it's located right next to the power button the control module is a molded mat rubber and still remains grippy even after holding it for a while a new feature included with the QC 20s is the aware mode each of the headphones earpieces has two tiny noise cancellation microphones on it during the regular noise cancellation mode all four of these microphones are picking up external noises to determine the proper amounts of inaudible out of phase tones required to drown out external noise when pressing the aware button on the remote to the microphones passes external sounds through so you can still hear some outside sounds great to use when you quickly need to hear your surroundings the cord is 2-tone thick and tough the cord sports a black and gray color scheme and feels like it's made for the long haul but only time will tell also about seven inches down in the cord you'll find the inline microphone this part is made from normal plastic and it has two buttons on it and also a mic hole the case that it comes with is a cloth zipper case the material feels middle of the line nylon but it should still offer some protection against wear and tear the air buds are also two-tone grey and silver with a black stroke around the Bose logo the silver part is preffer eight it actually looks like a speaker the buzz themselves are one inch wide by two inches long a bit bigger than other air buds in this price range but for good reason the QC 20s follow a clean color scheme and style this goes from the packaging all the way down to the headphones the overall presentation is clean stylish and modern the QC 20's are an extremely comfortable wear due to the light weight of 1.55 ounces the stator tips may look intimidating but do their job shockingly well sliding it to your ear easily and locking into place with a slight turn of the wrist the tips also come in three different sizes as well small medium and large the tips are soft and also has a lot of give and they really conform to your ear the silicone ear tips seal off the canal and has an extra fin like piece that presses against your ear for added stability these earbuds are designed for the traveler in mind the tips do not get abnormally warm during activity and the cord is just thick enough so it does not bounce around when walking you can also clip it to your jacket for even more stability there are a few annoyances with the headphones without and about if I have one complaint the control module at time gets in the way when walking it's a bit cumbersome but some quick adjustments like moving it to your jacket pocket which are normally deeper it shouldn't leave you ate that issue after a few hours at times my ears can become sore where the stay fit tips are pressing against I know that nothing compares to the over ear headphones but other air buds around this price range have managed to make long usage more comfortable however in conjunction with the secure fit these are true pleasure to wear in all circumstances the first thing I noticed when putting the headphones on was the base I was shockingly impressed by the amounts of base produced and how low it actually gets listening to the song rap guide by Eminem gives it a great example on how low base is picked up during a song the bass tips down low and during my test these earbuds can get down to around 20 Hertz on the low end listening to a song that has more of a punchy bass like on the song happy by Pharrell Williams it keeps the bass tight and quick the bass isn't as booming as other in earbuds but it feels just right and as always you can use eq's to tweak to add more bass if that's more of your cup of tea on the high end of things listening to a song that has a vocalist with a good range really shows off the versatility of these headphones listen to the song Ellie Goulding I need your love you can really hear her when she hits the higher notes unlike other earbuds this does not have that clashing sound you can hear that can make a listening experience uncomfortable there's a smooth transition from lows to highs but the mids come in a bit soft and sometimes are overpowered by the highs even when the volume is cranked all the way up the sound stays consistent and clear the only drawback is that the highs sometimes can be overemphasized sound stage for the QC 20s is exceptional for earbuds it's tough to create separation with ear buds but somehow both figured out a good way of emulating it it's enough separation to really immerse yourself in the music when turning on the noise cancellation you instantly hear the difference noise seems to drop down to almost inaudible my commute to work is in a car but I can only imagine the amount of satisfaction these would bring if you use public transportation daily flipping the switch on can easily make the person sitting behind you who is loud into a quiet murmur then once the music is laid over that that nuisance can no longer be heard also since the cord is pretty much silent with rubbing against other objects it adds to the overall feel of quiet and comfort don't get me wrong these are by no means the greatest sounding in ears ever to grace the world but it's the combination of comfort superb noise cancellation and a laid-back warm tone that makes these one of the best in this price range perhaps not for their sound but for the overall package and there you have it folks that was the review of the bose qc25 not be like a different version better than mine or if you
