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

Story - I accidently bought the Bose QuietComfort 25 (wired headphones) and loved them but wanted the freedom of wireless so I bought the Bose QuietComfort 35 (wireless) and gave the QC25 to my daughter. I came across this product and picked it up without any major expectations. Mainly to give my daughter the wireless freedom that I wanted in the QC35.To my surprise (as well as my daughters) the AirMod Wireless Bluetooth Adapter came in a professional package, easy to read instructions and from what we can tell, one hell of a battery charge as it was literally used 2+ days before we even considered utilizing the charger adapter that it comes with (and we just simply used it not because it needed a charge we simply wanted to give it a charge - if it makes any sense).Surprisingly the weight is non-detectable (I mean it is feather light) and It molds perfectly to the Bose QC25 - absolutely no gaps that I can tell from looking at it and it is secured in there without moving around.The receiver and sound quality is Bose top notch. Comparing both the QC25 with the AirMod Wireless Bluetooth Adapter and my QC35 headphone, I must say I was impressed with the received sound quality from my daughters Apple phone via bluetooth _ I would hope that Bose would be equally impressed (not speaking on their behalf).Our one concern was the ability to noise cancel and that was quickly put to rest when we turned on the noise cancelling feature on the QC25... Simply amazing and nothing lost and allot gained by the AirMod Wireless Bluetooth Adapter.If you are looking for an add-on to your QC25 to give you the freedom of wireless and still have the ability to switch between wired and wireless than this product is a 100% best choice.You will not be disappointed!

Overall, I am happy with the AirMod Wireless Bluetooth Adapter for Bose QuietComfort 25 Headphones. The basic function - providing a Bluetooth connection to my device so I can listen to output without a cord - works well.Pros:The positive experience started with the packaging. It is professional and well executed.The device fits perfectly on the ear cup. Very secure and the curve of the device perfectly matches the curve of the ear cup.The device is slim enough that even attached, the head phones still fit in the case.Buttons are easy to identify by touch.Pairing with an iPhone X was quick and easy.Volume of the music was much better than I had anticipated. I was able to easily hear music while mowing the lawn or pressure washing without even having to turn it up to maximum. The sound is much clearer and somewhat louder when the noise cancellation on the QC-25 is on, but this occurs when connected via a cord as well.Cons:The primary reason for the deduction of one star is the charging methodology. Having to unplug the device to attach the proprietary cable, while not a deal killer, is annoying and seems unnecessary. It also means I have to keep up with this extra cable which again is annoying and seems unnecessary. Why they didn't just put a standard micro USB port on the outside baffles me.It would be nice if there was an app to allow me to see how much charge is left on the battery. Without that, I tend to charge it after every use, which considering I only tend to use it for a few hours at a time is probably not needed.Other:I only use it with my phone so it only be able to be connected to one device at a time isn't an issue for me. I could see where if I were connecting it to a TV or home audio system, not having it also connected to the phone simultaneously could warrant another star reduction.* Update *After a year and a half, I still love this adapter. Sound quality, volume, durability have been great. I did have a little issue - when I would plug in the adapter to charge it, the red LED would not illuminate. After a while of being left plugged in, the green LED would illuminate and the adapter would in fact be fully charged. I contacted Bolle&Raven customer service and they provided a replacement, no questions asked. Because of the exceptional customer service, I updated the rating from four stars to five.

The good:- Easy to switch between devices- Sound quality is great 90% of the time- Battery life is forever- Battery life is good even in coldThe bad:- Attenuation (that is, how good the connection is) seems to be random- If I put the phone in my pocket, sometimes that sound goes in and out- But if I leave my phone on my desk and walk 40 yards to the bathroom, I can still listen to my podcastThe Ugly:- While it sometimes autoconnects to another device it knows, it doesn't always do this upon turning on(This isn't that big of a deal, because switching devices manually is easy: click and hold the play button and then select the headphones from your bluetooth list)- The buttons get stuck. Twice over the five months the power button got stuck and kept turning on and off. Now, it's permanently pressed down, but doesn't seem to press the connector without physical pressure. It seems like the holes are slightly too small for the buttons. So, it doesn't do the "click" you normally feel for buttons.Overall:- Satisfied. It did exactly what I wanted: Took my expensive headphones and made it work with newer devices that don't support headphone jacks. Not only that, I now feel freedom to move about more in my office and it's easier to switch between devices without having to unplug a jack.
