The QC25’s are on sale right now for $120 which I’ve heard is insanely cheap. Do you still not recommend them for that cheap of a price? I was just about to bite the bullet on it.

What? My earphones are $15. What do $120 headphones do to deserve being 8 times more expensive?

Active noise cancellation?

Why the downvotes? Is my surprise at seeing $120 headphones considered as cheap somehow inappropriate for the site?

downvotes for comparing headphones without active noise cancellation to headphones that have very good noise cancellation.

until you try them, you wouldn't understand.

and yes, that is cheap considering that NC headphones typically go for $299 and up
