Bose® - QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones

The Bose® - QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones makes traveling so much more pleasant. The noise canceling technology is absolutely amazing. The headphones itself is so comfortable and looks good as well. Compact in size, it's portability is excellent. Pure pleasure to use. Well worth the cost.

Great piece of kit -- you really get what you pay for. I've been an avid Bose fan for years, and these headphones did not disappoint. The only minor gripe is the fact you need to have the noise cancellation switched on at all times. If you turn it off, you get no sound. I often forget I have the headphones turned on when not in use, resulting in drained AAA battery. But hey, otherwise, my experiences have been PERFECT. The sound quality is epic! Highly recommended.

The Bose QC15 headphones are Bose's top of the line acoustic noise canceling headphones. They have a very classy look and feel to them, and they are made with the same precision that we have come to know and love from Bose products. Pros: - Very high build quality: thick and durable plastic and soft touch padding - Perfect amount of padding on the headband and around the ear cups - Headphones can extend to fit almost any head size comfortably - Ear cups are attached to a twisting and swiveling mount that adjusts comfortably to your head - Comes with long audio cable, inline remote and microphone cable, and airline adapter - Comes in a hard and durable carrying case that protects your headphones on the go Cons: - Price Sound quality: - These headphones sound amazing. Every genre that I have listened to sounds great. Rock, jazz, hip hop, rap, you name it - it all sound incredible. - The vocals, instruments, and bass are all clear and easily heard - Very crisp and full sound - The noise canceling technology does a great job of canceling out environmental noise. It can even cancel out cabin noise on a plane. If you would like to see a more comprehensive review, please feel free to watch my in-depth video review that I made for my YouTube channel.

I bought B&W P5 and C5 headphones and they were not complete in their reproduction of the recordings. The bass was completely missing or muffled. I tried all of the over-ear Beats by Dre models and was unhappy with them all in their own individual ways. The Solo HD's hurt my head and seemed cheap. The Studio model came broken!! One ear didn't work. I thought the PRO model sounded OK, but they don't have an inline mic for my iPhone, so they were out. I am very happy with these Bose headphones. They have nice sound. The noise canceling assists in clear music representation. I love the inline Apple remote! I highly recommend these headphones!

My 13 year-old son bought these headphones with his lawn mowing money and would recommend them to anyone wanting to invest in a great pair of headphones. He has had them for several weeks now and they seem very durable, but he is being very careful with them. The AAA battery lasts a long time, but you'll want to keep an extra on hand if you're going on vacation. The noise cancelling feature is excellent. They come with a really nice hard storage case.

Quick minor issues: 1. 3.5mm connection. I would have liked to see a 1/4" but that is minor. In addition it feels as though the cable could be more durable. On the flip side they give you two. Just take care when using your new $300 headphones. 2. It's significantly lighter than the Dre Beats rival. Initially I was worried but after a couple months of use, my worries were quelled. The lighter weight actually makes them much more comfortable. I've worn them for close to eight hours in one sitting, and had almost zero discomfort in my ears or head. This is the first pair of headphones I've ever had that were perfectly built for comfort. I am extremely satisfied, these phones have literally changed the way I hear and listen to music. In my opinion, I find it superior to Dre Beats phones, with the exception of it's wireless bluetooth version, which is significantly more expensive. Every single person I have let try my headphones were left with their mouth agape as they tried to grasp just how amazing the sound was coming out of a single headset. If you buy this seeking the very best in sound quality, you will not regret it for one second.

I travel back and forth to China for business and these headphones have made the long flights extremely easy! They have superb sound and the clarity is definitely what you would expect from Bose. I also use these headphones almost daily listening to music and using them during conference calls. They are perfect to use during calls because they drown out the background noise and allow you to hear the voices so much easier than it would be without these. I was so impressed with these headphones that two days later I went back to Best Buy and bought my wife a pair. The only minor complaint that I have is the battery life could be better but considering the quality surrounding these headphones and the performance from the noise cancellation, I can understand why I have had to change the batteries as often as I have. Please keep in mind that I use these headphones almost daily for the last three months and have had to change the battery out three times. That includes 15+ hour of flight to China, plus every day listening to music and having phone calls. My wife has had her headphones for three months and the same battery that came with the headphones is still alive and well with hers. You walk out with this purchase and you have everything you need to start using them which I thought was a nice touch by Bose to include all the accessories. I have recommended these already and will continue to recommend these headphones. Especially if you are a frequent traveler like we are. If you haven't bought a pair of these, and are going on a trip [especially overseas] I encourage you to purchase these. If not, at least pay attention to all the passengers that have the Bose QC15's on their head during the flight. When I decided to look at buying a pair of headphones, I knew automatically what set I was going to get. However, I did decide to checked out the Beats because a couple of my friends had bought them. I can tell you that these QC15's blow the Beats out of the water. When I tried the noise cancellation with the Beats, I could hear a crackle and whistle noise the entire time they were engaged. I already knew I was going to get the Bose, but testing out the Beats just confirmed what I had already decided. You will not regret getting these. Especially if you plan to use them as much as I have in these three short months.

I used ANR headsets (not Bose) in my day job with great satisfaction. When I retired and noticed my hearing wasn't what it once was, I began a search for the perfect stereo headset for use at home. I wasted a lot of money lookting -- more than 3x the price of the Bose QC15. Then I took the plunge. I've never been happier with a product. I use the QC15s for listening to music mostly. But I've discovered that it makes it much easier for me to follow the rapid-fire witty banter on many TV programs. This headset is lightweight and places little pressure on the temples for proper noise cancelling results. The quality of music reproduction is amazing; and the quality seems uniform throughout my personal frequency range of hearing. This adds up to uninterupted comfort and enjoument even while watching a 3-hour DVD! A big plus is that its having an easily detachable cord makes it very easy to use it "wireless" as a hearing protector while running the vacuum or while doing other noisy indoor chores (I'd like to use it mowing, but I don't think Bose intended it to be used in a sweaty, dirty, rough-house environment). My professional experience as a pilot put me in the company of many colleagues who used Bose aviation headsets. To a person they all swore by them. It seems to me that the QC15 headsets share many of the quaities of the commercial units, so I expect that the QC15s will be similarly durable. Though I have not yet tried them as a passenger on an airliner, I have several friends who say they won't go without their Bose! Downside? Maybe the battery . It's a cinch that if you fail to turn the QC15s off when not in use then the battery will be quickly depleted. Though having been very careful to turn them off after every use, I seem to only be able to get about 15 hours of use from a battery. I'm using top-quality batteries that are fairly new. It may turn out that batteries from a different batch may last longer. Regardless, I believe that the QC15 headset from Bose would be worth it to me if I had to change the battery every day! I highly recommend the Bose QC15 headset to anyone looking for a lightweight, comfortable and great-sounding stereo headset. They will be getting a very effective hearing protector in the bargain!
