Headset Buddy ClearMic 2 for Bose QC25 - Noise Cancelling Boom Microphone for The QuietComfort 25 Headphones (CM2502)

The mic is sold as "Clearmic", it is anything but this. I bought this to have clearer audio conversations with my QC25 headphones but in every instance a loud static buzzing noise can be heard on the receiving end of the call even when the mic sens is set to 10%. It is twice the price of a replacement original Bose branded in line mic and is no where near the same audio quality despite being on a boom. It is not compatible with PS. The buzzing noise is not apparent on the original in line mic. I purchased this to make my voice more easily heard, clearer, and have a more comfortable experience while using my preferred bose headset on calls. This took a week to arrive and, coupled with the extremely poor quality, was a waste of time as I has to replace it immediately. If this had cost me a quarter of the price I would still feel like I had been misled and ripped off. The packaging and description is misleading; it is not compatible with the products listed, it is not clear, and its not my headset buddy, friend!

The quality for the price is just not there, the sound quality can be decent but with the slightest movement of the mic it cause sound to only come out of one side. With my Bose qc25 the mute functionality didn’t work, not sure what that’s about. Right from the the factory these are stored with sharp bend in the wiring, this is a no no in caring for cords , beyond that the wires and connections and not robust.

Worked really well until... I use it for work to make calls but sometimes the person on the other line says I'm very quiet on the phone. Slightly disappointed that this happened after 2 weeks use. Otherwise great device. How do I get a replacement Amazon? First Amazon purchase also!

The cord was very stiff upon opening. The microphone housing was loose where it wraps around the boom mic. I opened it up and noticed that there was no adhesive holding the mic & wires. In my 1-2 minutes of opening up and fiddling with the mic the wires inside became twisted. I fixed the issue by grabbing my hot glue gun and adding some the the inside of the mic housing. The fitment to the headset isnt perfect either, but it works.

I just received this headset in the mail and tried it out all day today. Here are my initial impressions (they may be subject to change)! 1. The headset actually does fit well into the Bose QC25. It could be a little flush fit to the headset but so far its fine (no accidental rotation per another reviewer). 2. There is definitely a sound difference between using the headset and just using the phone's internal microphone (OnePlus Android phone). 3. The headset eliminates most (a lot of) background noise. There is a very noticeable difference over using the phone's microphone. While I have not tried it in a busy starbucks or driving in my car ... right now, I imagine there would be a big difference there as well. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase ... Looking forward to updating this review in the future. Quick update: I tested this while driving in my car. It worked great especially considering my car is rather noisy. I also tested this while walking outside along a noisy street with lots of traffic. In both cases the person on the other end of the phone call said they couldn't even tell I was in my car or next to a busy street. Nice!

Works well. Way better than the original mic. I use it to take calls on a busy train.
