Are they superior in sound quality to Bose QC 25? And how far off are they with noise isolation/cancelation?

I've not heard the Boss headphones, but I'm using them to DJ with they really cancel out; any outside noises.

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

Well, I would say if you want complete noise cancellation go with BOSE, but these do a pretty good job if you already have something playing, it's really hard to hear anything outside of your headset.

Noise canceling isn't great. Bose qc15 have excellent noise canceling however the sound quality is better on the ue6000. I love my Logitech headphones!

I dont know, buti still love them. The noise cancelling is not superior, but the sound quality is.

I tried both in store and there wasn't much difference between them with noise cancelling next to an enormous fan. The QC15 have better quality sound reproduction due to the larger drivers, but honestly I have no problem with my QC20s. They sound great, the noise cancelling is amazing and I've slept for 10 hours straight on a flight from LAX to SYD sitting over the wing next to the engines.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

Hi Jaye, These aren't noise cancelling headphones. However, it has a tightly sealed acoustic design allows for a high level of sound isolation which aides in the reproduction of powerful and extended bass sound. _Anthony

I own a Bose noise canceling headset similar to the set in question (ATH-ANC27). Bose is by far the best. For the money and size the ATH-ANC23 (in the ear) that I bought has surprising abilities. I was very impressed.

They have amazing clarity for music and movies but they would not "block out the hum of the engine" http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/index.jsp Much more money but the work

They have the same quality. Great noise cancelling and amazing sound. The difference is with the QC15 you cannot turn off the noise cancelling to listen to music. You will need batteries more often. With the QC25, you have the option to turn it off and listen with or without noise cancellation. If you can afford the QC25, I would recommend you buy that one as you have those choices and batteries will last longer. Hope it helps.

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

The amperiors are newer. Amperior are slightly better, according to Sennheiser.I don't know the HD25, but the amperiors are excellent to me

They are not "noise cancelling." They are simply in-ear headphones that fit pretty sungly and therefore muffle outside sound. A similar pair that I got after these that I liked much, much better and I'm still using almost a year later is this one: Philips SHE3590BL/10 In-Ear Headphones

They're not noise cancelling, and they're not Dre Beats, but skullcandy is my #2 when it comes to sound quality. These are no different in quality. For the price range, they definitely take #1.

I have a Sennheiser HD598, which with a similar price to this Bose QC15. It seems that HD598 has a wider sound and more high-frequency sound. I prefer the cable of Bose because HD598's cable is too long and a bit heavy to carry. Anyway, both headphone are in perfect quality and I will use them in different condition (e.g. Bose outside the door or on the traffic, HD598 in room. ^_^

For me the bass is fine but I am not a big bass head. I can only compare them to the other headphones I own the Bose QC 15 wired noise cancellation headphones and to me they had better bass than those. However I did have an opportunity to listen to the Bludio's before I returned them for the Sony MK2's and they had more bass than the MK2's but I didn't think they sounded as good and they were a bit bulky and didn't fit on my head as well. The Bluedio's are substantially less expensive though and they did sound pretty good. Probably the best bang for the buck.

From my experience, these would be about same effectiveness of any passive closed headphones. The noise cancellation is not very effective. I fly frequently with Bose Quietcomfort series headphones which are the best for planes.
