Been after some of these for a while, popped into the Clearance bargains store in Stanley and found these some are Refurbished but some are brand new.
Thought £139.00 was a great price for these selling at £200
i know its a local place so not sure if its any good for anyone they had about 10/15 pairs

15. Bose QC25: $300
Bose’s new flagship headphones don’t sound very good, but their active noise cancellation (ANC) is the best I’ve ever heard — better than the ANC in the QC15, Parrot Zik, and Beats Studio. They retain Bose’s usual excellent comfort and light weight, and look less hideously outdated than most other Bose products — their designs have advanced from 1989 to 1999. If your primary goal is to dramatically reduce noise on planes or in a noisy office, I can recommend these, but the sound quality is poor for the price.
Sound: BAD Comfort: GOOD Portability: GREAT

They do not cancel out chatting, just soften it quite a bit. To cover my colleagues voice completely I need some music on

You playing FLAC recordings or something off your iphone? Sound is very impressive in my books. Try closing your eyes. oh I bought mine new not reconditioned as above.

ordered for £200 from Sonic Direct, got the iphone version by mistake. The middle key works for skipping tracks, pausing but I can't adjust the volume. Android cable is £21 from Bose but I can live with it.
Sound quality is superior to anything I've tried. I've wanted a predecessor to this since I was 18....15 years ago when I tried them at an airport. Was blown away then and I'm blown away now.
If you like singing to yourself it becomes a very eerie feeling that you're in a horror film and your voice has been taken away. It's great at keeping the kid's noise muted, I can now relax while my house is turned upside down. Admittedly it works better with background noise when you're not playing music, but once the music comes on any talking isn't noticeable.

Does anyone else feel pressure on their ears when listening to them in a quiet environment? does it take a little getting used to?

Bore off and feel free to enjoy all the background noise you like.

This is an excellent deal if you can get it given the retail price at Bose is £249.95

For my use (listening to speech, radio etc) my Apple Earpods that came free with an iPod sound clearer and nicer than this.

I win so should I PM you my address so you can send me a pair of these Bose now?

I bet the poundland headphones sound better than these over-priced earmuffs

Of course, you could buy 139 pairs from Pound land for this price! :confused:

I think you might find he thinks the ones from Poundland are better value.

Finally tried mine out on a plane the other week. They are incredible. The roar of the plane just completely disappears and you can watch a film perfectly.
You don't realise how loud a plane is until you take them off again - it's deafening!

I've always been told that noise cancelling headphones only really cancel out more of the 'droning' sound of background noises e.g. aircraft noise. Do they completely cancel out chatting etc (and even without music playing)?

Bose give a two year warranty as long as the Seller is an authorised Bose retailer. Excellent price. I had no problems when a former pair had slight problem and they sent me a new pair straight away on advanced product replacement with the price held against my creditcard.

Thanks for the heads up, I was thinking of going for this but a bit concerned by the reviews stating the right hand headphone (that folds up) fails easily! & not sure how receptive Argos Clearance would be to get it sorted...

25 Apr 16#18
they have a 12 month warranty with the receipt, Argos clearance are good at sorting things out in the past, also i know a few people who haven't had this issue so i assume its complaints shout the loudest...

You should possibly stick to the £9.95 headphones...

Too bad thr in-ear variant, QC20, aren't as cheap, £269.95 -> £229.95:
Agreed about the sound output, but that's just the drawback to tweaking the external sound against the music output. I find these great on the train and in the office - I can have my white noise generator at half volume as opposed to full volume, with zero effect with my older earbuds. Really happy with the silicone in-ear vs this deal's on-ear baking my ears.

I have a pair of these and they are great. The noise cancellation is superb. Well worth the money. Worth the original price.

Does that noise include the awful rendition of 'music' that these things purport to portray?

Isn't the Bose site in the outlet near Ashford, Kent, operated by Bose.
I think Clearance Bargains (stores) are Argos clearance shops?
