Why is EVERYONE Buying these Headphones??

Buy Bose QC 25 on Amazon: http://geni.us/vwBfc

Buy Bose QC 25 on Newegg: http://geni.us/49B2yY2
Buy Panasonic ErgoFit on Amazon: http://geni.us/mDZslA
Buy Noot Products K11 on Amazon: http://geni.us/nTO78o

 

The Bose Quiet Comfort 25 active noise cancelling headphones may be the best value over-ear cans you can get in 2018- unless poor build quality gives competitors like Sony, Mpow, and Cowin a chance to catch up…

I have the QuietComfort 35 IIs, one of the best things I've ever bought...  really worth the money and awesome battery life.

The answer to all of these videos is always "because they are the cheapest version with good ratings"

I don't know about you but I despise the title "why is everyone buying these _____". I can't explain why though.

Sony XB700 - I've owned these cans for 9 years now, and to be totally honest, you would need to pry them from my cold dead hands. They are simply that good. No noise cancelling circuitry in these, but the sound they provide and the comfort they have is just unmatched.

 

And yes, I like my bass HEAVY xD I have listened to the best 6-foot tall floor-standing mahogany covered monoliths out there and the bass these Sony headphones fill your ears with is comparable to that, minus of course the fact that you aren't annoying the neighbors FIVE HOUSES DOWN.

 

Really the only flaw they have is the leatherette black material which disintegrates over time. Fortunately there's a good video that goes step by step on removing the cushions. I actually picked up four pairs of replacements from a seller in Hong Kong a while back knowing that these would be the last headphones I ever need for as long as I live.

 

I use mine strictly at home, since they are not very portable and cannot be folded. Packing them so that they don't get damaged is a challenge.

 

These are very highly regarded and very high demand cans - I paid $130 for mine back in 2009, but a brand new set today (Sony discontinued these after maybe only a year) imported from Japan will run you $400. I have even seen the price hit $700 on one occasion.

I don't think Cheap is always better, i have CX 275-s, which is cheap but not that cheap but i think it's better than the cheapest one. 


https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-275-Universal-Headset/dp/B008V6T1IW/

 

if anyone has a better in-ear headphone, i'm glad to take a look at it.

I own Cowin e7 and it's the best headphones I ever had. They are so comfortable, reduce outside noise so well that I don't even use noise canceling feature and battery is so good, it lasts me for 1 week without charge and I use these phones at work for 8 hours everyday except weekends. They are perfect headphones for my job, couldn't be much happier.

Used a pair of these, the sound wasn't so bad but I was upgrading over a reaaally cheap ones so I found them fairly nice, then I bough the Asus Strix 2.0 and oh boy....these are mere peasant like in comparison with the Strix. But now I want AKG or Audio Technica because Gaming headphones are rip-off

I have never used active sound cancelling technology. Will they remove the noise of my neighbour's lawnmower better than proper PPE ear protectors over ear buds?

Because they are widely regarded as the best mainstream noise cancelling headphones?

 

What a dumb question.

Meh, I hate Bose... too pricey for what it is. Bought a Sony MDR-XD200 (or similar model), when I went Bluetooth it was what ever worked for under $100 :P

So, no I have never bought anything mentioned in this video, lies, all lies :P

 

Tho I learned today Linus has never been on a boat or a plane, up front that is, and has apparently been locked away in a room with no TV/Radio/source to the outside world...

 

Seriously... How does someone over 25 (would like to say 15, but... Thanks modern society) not know what a knot is?

My brother has the Bose QC 25, he bought them a few years ago and loves them. I went for the Sennheiser HD598's though because I don't care about noise cancellation.

 

As far as the earbuds you listed, I almost bought them until I found these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UH35NEI/

They are basically the same thing but updated to have a greater frequency response and noise isolation, while being cheaper at the time I purchased them. They probably don't sell as well because they don't have 50,000+ reviews.
