Review on ๐ŸŽง Bolle & Raven QC25 Bluetooth Adapter for Bose QuietComfort 25 Headphones - Enhancing SEO by Kyle Cross

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good, sounds good, but there are complaints

In action for about two weeks. The good first: The sound is great. Clean and crisp, especially with noise reduction turned on. Pairing is easy and switching between devices is no problem. Switching devices will require you to re-pair, but that's easy and actually not uncommon. This looks great; You wouldn't even know it's not part of the headphones. It's easy too. The difference between wired and Bluetooth is negligible at best. Battery life seems very good, I used it for commuting every day for 30 minutes on a single charge for a week. I haven't tried a long session, so maybe it lasts less than 8 hours on a single charge. The controls take a little getting used to, but overall very good. This brings me to the following: Mediation: Controls could be better differentiated. A dot on the up arrow and a play/pause button would have made it much better. There is no battery indicator for iOS. It shows the headphones are connected but doesn't tell you how much battery is left. It's pretty simple, there's no excuse not to have it. Connect/disconnect/pairing tones are very similar, almost indistinguishable. I haven't tried Bluetooth calling, but using it with Siri has been mediocre at best. I don't know how much Siri is, but how bad the microphone is. Now for the bad and the reasons for the 3 stars: Fallout. Especially when I walk or move. It fails frequently, sometimes more than just a gap in the track. It seems to happen more often when the battery dies. Charger. I understand weight is an issue, adding a mini USB would add weight but now I have to carry another charger and I could lose it or forget it and then I'm screwed so yeah. I'd rather have extra half ounces and a universal charger than this one. All in all a good product that works mostly as advertised. It's cheaper than buying refurbished Bose headphones with BT, but I think you get what you pay for. Without those two things, this would undoubtedly have been a five star rating.
