I find the sound quality of my QC25 "good" or perhaps "very good" depending on the source material. I also find the sound of the QC25 very relaxing... basically, the opposite of "fatiguing." As others have noted there is a bit of a lack of detail; the upper treble feels a little rolled off. Measurements elsewhere seem to confim.
I spent a while with the QC35 once and found them to sound similar.
Just wondering, would anybody buy Bose cans for SQ and listening to music in a quiet environment at home at all ?
I'm sure that there are many other alternatives for above purpose.
Yeah, sometimes I do. I am very easily distracted by sound and sometimes I need/want to block everything out in order to work.
Even a "quiet" home is not totally quiet. Average noise floor of a "quiet" residential room is usually 30 or 40dB or something like that. And more, if you have dogs or neighbors or street traffic.
These headphones may also be good for preserving our hearing. We can play the music more quietly since we are not competing with background noise.
I use the QC25 only in the plane (sometimes in the train).
They are not comfortable.
Just goes to show how personal this is. I think they are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.
Though, of course, like any pleather headphone pads... they will be sweaty in hot weather.
