Review on Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones with 3.5mm Wired Connection for Apple Devices - Black by Qung Quang  (Buss Ga ᠌

All the shortcomings, including the very presence of a wire, are nothing compared to the pluses that such headphones give in the Hong Kong subway ! It's just heaven! Hung up like a drug addict. Headphones make it possible to listen to even very little event ambient in old subway cars with great pleasure. He took a break from the noise. After a month of use, it became possible to use the headphones even without music without discomfort. However, in a quiet office it is much more comfortable to listen with the noise canceling turned off. The sound becomes different, but I would not say much worse. I also use it outside, now, in winter, over a thin thermal cap. doesn't seem to cause any problems
