If you are confused between the Bose 225 and 225, which earphone to buy
0:05
In this video, I will do a full comparison of these two earphones So that you can decide
0:10
First of all, let's talk about the box content What do you get in both of them
0:14
I purchased the 225 in Active Black color With which I got a carry pouch
0:18
Ear hook is already applied on it If you want to remove it, you can do it
0:22
You get a clip here Extra ear tips also came with this earphone
0:26
I purchased the 225 in blue color You get different color options in both of them
0:31
In 225, you get more ear tips than in 242 Then there is an ear hook
0:36
Which you can put here if you need And you get a clip here too
0:40
Talking about the build quality In 225 earphone, you get a flat cable
0:44
And the quality of the cable is much better in 225 And because of the flat cable
0:48
This earphone doesn't get tangled much Because of the L-shaped headphone jack
0:53
The durability of the headphone jack also increases The logo of the board is the same
0:58
With which you can pause the play Answer the call or end it
1:02
You can do all that And you get a mic on the back side But to reduce the volume here
1:07
Additional buttons are not available And talking about the housing This earphone is quite premium here
1:12
Ear hook and clip were not applied At that time, I weighed it
1:17
Around 20 grams Now talking about the 242 earphone Its headphone jack is straight
1:22
Not in L-shaped So the headphone jack part from here Can be damaged in future
1:27
By the way, it is durable in quality But not as good as 225
1:31
Because 225 is available in L-shaped But here it is not available in L-shaped The upper cable is quite thin
1:36
And the lower cable is thicker And it is rubber coated Not braided
1:41
But the quality of the cable will be better than 225 Here in 242
1:45
After removing the ear hook I weighed it So you get around 16 grams of weight
1:49
So it is quite lightweight In comparison to 225 Now talking about the button control
1:53
You get a button to play and pause And a button to reduce the volume
1:57
So if you reduce the volume frequently These two buttons will be very useful for you
2:01
And you get a mic on the back side The housing of 225 earphone
2:06
Will not provide premium feel The overall feel of 242 earphone is plastic
2:12
Now talking about the sound quality You get 10mm audio driver in both
2:15
Passive noise cancellation is quite good in 242 earphone And if you apply the ear hook
2:20
So it can do more passive noise cancellation The bass of 242 is not that high
2:25
It is good but it does not feel that much boosted You get a little more treble in 242
2:31
So it can irritate you sometimes And the vocals are quite clear in 242
2:36
The loudness is also quite good in this earphone But you may feel a little distortion on higher volume
2:43
Now talking about the sound quality of 225 earphone In this you will get a very good boosted bass
2:48
And this passive noise cancellation is not as good as 242 If we talk about the treble
2:53
The treble is not as good as in 242 And the vocals are also not as good as in 242
3:00
The loudness is also a little less than 242 And on higher volume
3:04
225 earphone feels more distortion type Now which earphone is better in comfort and fit
3:10
Let's talk about that When you wear 225 earphones in your ears It comes off very quickly
3:14
It does not fit that well You also get an ear hook in this But to keep the ear hook
3:19
You don't get a proper cutout So you will feel a lot of difficulty in putting the ear hook
3:24
And even if you put the ear hook It doesn't feel that comfortable with the ear hook
3:29
And it's a little heavy So it's not that comfortable to use for long hours
3:33
225 earphones If I talk about 242 earphones So the shape is such that
3:38
If you put this earphone in your ears It feels very lightweight
3:42
If you use this earphone for long hours You can use it very comfortably
3:46
And to keep the ear hook on it You get a proper cutout
3:49
So you can easily fit the ear hook there And with the ear hook
3:53
Its fitting gets much better So now the audio you are hearing
3:57
It is coming from the microphone of 225 Now the audio you are hearing
4:01
It is coming from the microphone of 242 Now let's talk about the conclusion So 225 is such an earphone
4:06
In which you get a better bass Earphone is very durable And there is not much tangle
4:11
So you are a user who needs a better build And want a good experience of bass
4:16
Even if that earphone is not comfortable to use for long hours So you can go with 225 earphones
4:21
Now if I talk about 242 So this earphone is very comfortable It is also good to use for long hours
4:25
And it has IPX4 rating So it will help in resisting water and sweat
4:30
So if you want it for gym Or if you are going to use it more outdoors So 242 will be a better choice for you
4:35
And you will not get a good build quality in it You don't have that much of an issue with it
4:40
So 242 can be a very good option for you So you will get the link of both earphones in the description
4:45
