Your photograph shows ripe quinces. They don't soften. I have tried eating a raw piece, and whilst you wouldn't immediately spit it out like you might with some must-cook fruit, the great majority of people would say it isn't very nice.
Though I have heard that the Chinese quince or false quince, Pseudocydonia sinensis, is edible raw if frosted.
