Enables connection to a variety of audio sources. Less tangling and easier to put on and take off -- providing the user a simpler, more convenient experience.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've been totally satisfied with my QC15s. Needed a second pair of NCs for long air trips, so I ordered the new QC25. EQ is a little different than the QC15, a bit brighter, seems to have a little more definition. Listener EQ preference is very personal, but I like it. I like the new folding mechanism. Seems equally comfortable. It'll get a European trip tryout next month. zZounds delivery service outstanding, as usual. Word to the wise...Bose warranty is only valid when sold through authorized dealers. zZounds is an authorized Bose dealer. The huge name online dealer is not.

Musical Background:

50 years. Vocalist and play electric bass. Church and semi-pro chorus.

Musical Style:

Classical and worship.
