Bolle&Raven Wireless Bluetooth Adapter for Bose QuietComfort 25 Headphones (QC25)

Purchased this 2 weeks ago. And am completely in love with them. The Bose QC-25 are great headphones and I purchased them before the release of the QC-35. I don't find a wired connection a hassle at all, but the freedom of using Bluetooth is just wonderful. Pros : - Perfect fit for the QC-25 shape. (Even the color matches!) - Lightweight & Discreet - Buttons are easy to use. - Pairs automatically with my devices with ease. (First time pairing took slightly longer) - Sound is great (Can't be compared with wired connections, but still good nonetheless) - Quick charge time (1 hour 15mins or so) - Mic is clear during calls, even on windy days. - Works with Siri. - Max volume is still louder than other Bluetooth adaptors. Cons : - Battery doesn't last too long. (I get a solid 4-5 hours. But the quick charge means I can easily replenish the battery over lunch breaks) - First time pairing took slightly long. (But pairs effortlessly after) Nevertheless, I am in love with this product. Worth the money spent. If you don't already have QC-35, these are a great option for the QC-25. I doubt you'll find a better adaptor out there. ***I don't ever write reviews, but I made an exception this time because I personally received an email from Neil C. Morrison, the Co-Founder of Bolle & Raven. To have a Co-Founder who cares about customer satisfaction and takes the time to get feedback means you're purchasing from a company who doesn't just create a product for profit. But rather a company who have a vision of creating satisfactory products to the customer. So a personal thumbs up from me. Thanks for making this available for us and Keep On Innovating! :)

Arrived on-time, very nicely packaged although a bit tricky to get items out of the tight foam packaging. Very simple to pair, worked first time. Sound quality as good as with wire, works fine with noise cancelling. Good buttons on the unit and feels solid, good quality. Only downside so far is what others have commented is having to remove it to charge. A new lease if life to my aging QC25's

Wow - admittedly I’ve only been using the adapter for the past 5 hours but I was impressed by the sound quality it gives (I was a little dubious in truth). I use an iPhone, so the 3.5mm to lightning adapter impacted the wired sound for me on my QC25’s and so dare I say, for me, the sound is slightly improved (controversial I know) and certainly louder now. My QC25’s only really came out when I was flying and even then they were a bit too quiet on a busy flight but now they may travel with me more often. The packaging suggested a quality item and so far, it’s going well. I would recommend giving this a go before splashing out on a pair of XM5’s or QC45’s as you will be surprised how good the QC25’s can sound wirelessly. I will post an update if the battery life or any connectivity issues impacts the initial 5* review.

I have been looking at this product for a while, reluctant to part with the not inconsiderable sum of £55. However, I reached a decision point when the ear-pads on my trusty QC25s needed renewing. I carefully considered a new set wireless NC headphones. But after a lot of research decided that it was unlikely I would improve much on the QC25 quality without spending hundreds of pounds. Together with a replacement set of pads, I decided to bite the bullet and try out the adapter as well. I'm really happy I did, the performance of this product cannot be faulted. Sure, it's overpriced. But I have brought my go-to air travel headphones into the current age. Everything works flawlessly and, as others have stated, the output volume is significantly improved. I have suffered none of the dropout issues that some other reviewers have noted, although I almost always use the phones with line-of-sight to the source Bluetooth player. Excellent product, downgraded by one star due to high cost.

I bought the Bose Quiet Comfort 25 in the USA from the Bose shop for under $100 being aware that it did not have the Bluetooth facility. It was either that or pay almost 3 times as much for the Bose 35. The adapter is perfect for converting the 25 to wireless. It is almost invisible when fitted and looks part of the earphones. It did take a couple of attempts setting the Bluetooth up but this was mainly due to pairing it with a problematic phone. Once set up it worked flawlessly with no noticeable deterioration in sound quality being noticed by me. The volume and track changing also worked. The battery will not last as long as the one in the Bose 35 but as I will not be using it continually this does not matter to me. It did play back for 4 hours but I have not had the chance to try it for any longer than that. The earphones will stow away into the Bose case with AirMod fitted. The AirMod is best handled care fully. It is made a plastic and could break if sat on etc. It would be advisable to use care when plugging into or unplugging it. The connection feels rigid enough but if snatched from the unit I think it could break. This is no different from most devices you would want to keep. When I return to the USA I will likely buy another AirMod from amazon.com for the other pair of Bose 25 I bought from the Bose shop there. I used it while on holiday in the USA but needed to buy another one for another Bose QC25 headphones we had. First stop was amazon. com. Delivery was quick and it cost a lot less than the UK. With the poor exchange rate it still only cost me about £45. It was money well spent as it gave me an additional charging cable. It worked just as good as the original one. I did look at another type of adapter which was on sale for less but stuck with the Air Mod. I have not been disappointed and would certainly recommend it for use with the Bose QC25. I like the Bose so much I just bought another set on Amazon Black Friday offer for under £130 for a present. Well done Amazon.

Arrived fine, paired with phone out the box fine. Put on to charge, red light, eventually turned green, great stuff. Took it off charge and held on button. Made some odd start up noise then just flashed red. Wouldn't pair. Held play/pause to put it into pairing mode. Nothing, just constant red flashing. No instructions on what that means, or how to reset it. Just permanently flashes red until you turn it off. Bolle and raven have so far been unresponsive. I'm due to travel in 2 days so have ordered a second set that hopefully works. Otherwise I'm without headphones for the journey which is extremely sad.

Superb item to convert your non-Bluetooth Bose to wireless. I’ve used this for some time now and I’ve been really impressed with the quality and battery life. Super easy to fit and pair and they Intergrate with the headset perfectly fitting where the cable usually sits. I very nearly changed my headset altogether wanting to move to wireless, however when considering the cost to change, this proves superb value. The only downside is that you have to charge your Bluetooth module separately and use a separate battery for the NC system which with the NC Bose is integrated and both are rechargeable. The BT unit recharges with its own small cable via USB and charges very quickly and last a decent length of time. I have only been caught out once on a long journey and I simple reverted back to a cable while the unit charged via a USB power pack. Over all great value and a great product.

Great piece of equipment.

Buon prodotto, design simile alle cuffie, fa il suo lavoro.

Très satisfait par le produit. Cool de pouvoir transformer ce bon vieux QC25 en version sansfil ! J'ai profité d'une vente flash ou le produit était descendu à 66€. - Positif: L'apparairage a fonctionné du 1er coup sans pb. Il est léger Il s'adapte parfaitement Le son est bon. Je n'ai pas constaté de différence avec le 'son avec le cable'. L'autonomie est bonne (vu le faible poids de la batterie) et correcte pour tenir en gros les 8h d'une journée (pour l'instant) - J'aurais peut etre fait différement: Il se recharge par le jack, il faut donc le débrancher du casque pour le recharger et il faut donc l'avoir avec soi et ne pas perdre l'adaptateur "USB->Jack". Une prise supplémentaire microUSB aurait pu etre cool pour résoudre ces 2 petits inconvénients. La petite led est trop pres du bouton power ce qui masque un peu la led quand on appuie dessus (rien de grave, on va dire que j'ai des gros doigts) J'aurais peut etre mis une batterie un poil + grosse pour augmenter l'autonomie, quitte à rajouter quelques grammes. Il bip seulement quelques minutes (secondes ?) avant que la batterie soit vide. Disons que cela permet de signaler pourquoi il s'éteint (et non pas qu'il faudra penser à le recharger bientôt) Bref.. je suis pour l'instant très satisfait du produit.. j'espère que la batterie continueras de tenir à peu prés la même durée. Peu sembler un peu superflue au début de l'acheter juste pour se passer du câble, mais finalement c'est quand même super pratique (surtout avec le rabais de la vente flash pour faire passer la pilule) :)

No dura mucho la batería, unas 5 h, pero para lo que uso esta muy bien. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Te da mucha movilidad y se oye muy bien

VERY GOOD PRODUCT

Great little gadget. I had my QC 25 sitting there collecting dust and this add-on brought them back to life. Almost a year of use and keeps working perfectly. Battery life is solid 8 hours, pairing is flawless, never had an issue, sound quality is almost imperceptible from using the wire. The only con would be the range, you can't go too far from the phone or the connection will fall, no more than maybe 10 feet, but it's not really something to complain about or decrease the rating. I will say, if interested, GO for it!
