How do you compare Q25 Vs SoundTrue with respect to Sound Clarity leaving noise cancellation feature out of equation?

I cannot judge because I do not have the Q25's. I do feel that the Sound True headset makes me feel that I am listening Live at the concert. Feel I am there.

My husband has significant hearing loss and wears hearing aids but still struggled with telephone calls. These headphones were a lifesaver, he hears clearly and completely now. The clarity is such that I have to turn volume way down if I answer his phone for him. Don't know if this helps....hope so :)

I have never done a side by side comparison of the two but based on the specifications of each model it's safe to say that the differences would be noticeable. The 225i's are, in my opinion, the single best headphone you can purchase without having to purchase a headphone amplifier. They have a bit more bass than the 225i's yet retain the mid/high soundstage that is so typical of Grado. The upgrade will be in vocals and bass. Basically, I absolutely think it's worth the extra coinage to purchase the 225i's.

I tried both. The Bose QC20 is definitely better, but it is also 2 1/2 times the price.

I had both.. returned the 701 q because the bumps are not comfortable after a while. I read that the 701q have a better bass reproduction.. But I could tell 0 difference in sound after many hours of testing.. went with k702 for comfort

I will go for noise cancelling than bluetooth as that's an experience over just connectivity and have heard that you loose a bit of sound quality, when you spending this kinda money and loosing sound quality for bluetooth then you can buy cheaper and get the same out. just my point of view.

I have both and I used the new 20i last week in the plane. In my opinion QC 15 is better in noise cancelling but I like the 20i to carry around.I used 20i in the bus and in the car with IPHONE listing music and I like it. Quality QC 15 is better in the plane but to carry around I like 20i

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

Music should be fine. The earplugs seal in your ear. That combined with the noise cancelling effect should allow you to be oblivious to all outside noise. My 700 set did the trick and they didn't have the noise cancellation feature. I drive an altima which can be pretty loud on the highway. I use one earplug and can easily hear whoever I'm talking to. If you are on public transit you may be better using both earplugs (1 will work but I personally would be distracted by the noise). The only downside to using both earplugs is that it can be difficult to control the volume and tone of your voice. But i love these. Makes hands free calling very easy! Music should be fine.

I own both the QC-15 and the A20. Sound quality from both very similar, however the A20 is better at reducing outside aircraft noise. A microphone adaptor from Ufly Mike allows the QC-15 to be used as an aviation headset.

That significantly had an effect on the sound quality. The X-230 sounds a lot better in comparison. I get a more surround sound feel with the X-230, but I can't say the same about the X-240's. Easily X-230 > X-240.

Hi Edward, the Bose 25s have superior noise cancelling, but the sound on the M4U2s is much, much better. They are a bit less comfortable though.

No, I don't think sound quality was any different, and the 7w had a loud, annoying fan that ran all the time. I sent mine back. -- R Carlson MD

There is a much smaller sensation of pressure with the QC20's than with the QC15's. It also helps if you turn on the noise cancelling before inserting the ear buds.

Padding sensitivity - Alpha = 100dB/mW vs. sigma = 105dB/mW Drivers - Alpha = 40mm vs. sigma = 50mm FullSpectrum Freq. Resp. - Alpha = 80Hz ~ 14kHz vs. sigma 100Hz ~ 18kHz Their website has more details than amazon. There is a slight difference in sound definition. At this price range it really doesn't matter. If you plan on spending more say up to 130+ there will be noticeable differences in sound quality and whether it will be stereo surround vs. 5.1, 7.1, etc My personal .02 - I upgraded soon after buying these as the adapter would overheat and cause the sound to drop when I used them on my pc. I would look at the Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound as they're a bit more, but you won't be disappointed in the improved quality you're getting, and they're wireless... just my .02 and its a very noticeable improvement.

Hi David: My unit is very quiet. To test the neutrality of sound I set the EQ sliders at 6db across the frequency spectrum. I then switched between the equalized setting and by passing the EQ entirely; compensating for volumes. I was unable to detect any difference in the sound. I cannot comment on the difference in the two units as I have only heard the older one. Good luck with your EQ hunt.Harry Harris
