The editors didn't like
Sound could be improved
Not the most stylish headphones out there
We found these headphones hard to pair via Bluetooth
Design has a little too much of an office vibe to it
Fairly heavy at 360 grams
Bass and treble may be a little too hyped for some people
Active noise cancellation significantly hurts sound quality
Somewhat bulk
In-line remote not included
Automatic play/pause sensor trigger
Odd sensation with OpenMic is active
Track wheel doesn't always change track
Switches on the ear cups for power and noisecanceling are easy to get confused. Because playback pauses when headphones are taken off
You might assume the headphones have powered down even though the battery life ebbs away
Mostly plastic construction gives it a lowerquality finish

Great battery, long-range Bluetooth, active noise-cancellation, comfortable, strong, easy controls
Design is somewhat bland, RRP a little pricey (can be found for better price)

Pair with two devices, Fantastic 24 hour battery life, impressive sound and noise cancellation
Pairing mode could be easier to initiate, No identification between paired devices, Slightly pricey
At AU$349 / £250 / US$250, these are not a cheap pair of headphones. But they are an investment in both comfort and convenience, and if Bose has taught us anything, it's that those are features people are willing to pay for. Sure, they're not perfect, bu...

Superb sound quality, Powerful with low distortion levels, Sound quality during phone calls, Sturdy, wellbuilt, Intuitive controls, Audio and LED notifications, Bluetooth and NFC have wide range, Insane battery life
Active noise cancellation could use some perfecting, Small peak around 8 kHz, Stocky design
A serious contender has just entered the ring. Plantronics' new headphones not only have stunning sound quality, but they're stylish, sturdy and comfortable, and they have a ton of extra features. The active noise cancellation does a pretty good job, but ...
Best-in-class battery life, Loaded with convenience features, Solid noise canceling, Superior sound quality
Passive sound quality is too dark, Treble can be aggressive, Loss of on-board controls to wired connection
The BackBeat Pro may be bulky and industrial looking, but what they lack in aesthetic panache, they make up for with fantastic features and great sound. And while Plantronics' latest can't beat the Bose QC25 at their own game of noise canceling, they get...
