5.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For 16 Jun 2010
If you are reading this review then you are probably in two minds about whether to buy these headphones, because, let's face it, they are very costly.

I too agonised for ages over the less expensive options on the market before eventually taking the plunge and getting a set of these. Here's what clinched it for me.

The noise-cancelling is the most effective of any I've tried - and I've tried comparable models from Sony, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica and Goldring.

The sound quality is extremely good. You simply will not get audiophile sound quality from any noise cancelling headphones. There will always be a trade-off between the naturalness of the listening experience and the frequency intervention and closed back design necessary for the noise cancelling to work effectively. Personal taste is always a factor when listening to headphones. I find these provide a very high standard of audio quality and they perform equally well across a wide variety of different types of music. Also, they sound even better once they've been played in for a few hours. There's absolutely none of the background hiss that is discernible on some of the less expensive noise cancelling headphones I've tested. Nor is there any sound leakage to annoy those around you - a problem that afflicts several of the cheaper options.

They are extremely comfortable. I have other good quality non-noise cancelling headphones, but these are by far the most comfortable cans I own to wear for long periods. I've been known to forget I've got them on.

The build quality is very good. Some people mistake the lightness of these headphones for flimsiness. They are designed with the traveller in mind. Consequently, Bose have built them to be both very light and very durable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Cans 26 July 2010
Bose have certainly put themselves ahead of in the niche noise cancelling headphones market. The QC15 arrives in a rigid oval-like soft case with the headphones, manual, airplane 2-pin adapter, batteries and even a set of courtesy cards to hand out to your friends. The adapter can be placed in a detachable pouch affixed to the inner lining by velcro.
The headphones are solidly built and and reek of quality. It is almost at odds with the snugness afforded by how they fit over the ears. The set up is easy. A lead is provided that fits seamlessly (almost) into the left speaker and the battery slots into a hidden compartment on the right side. A single AAA battery is provided and according to the manufacturer, lasts 35 hours. My experience would say that this to be not too far off the mark.
The noise cancelling switch is on found on the right side also. There is the option of using it for noise cancelling only where you do not attach it to your music device. This is where the QC15 starkly demonstrates its superiority to other headphones on the market such as the Sennheiser pxc-450. The filter technology worked superbly to cancel out the planes' engines and other background noise to mere muffles. It also allowed through speech (though perhaps not as well as the 450) but one would readily accept that when one is on a long haul flight.
Music definition was clear and crisp and from a deep punchy bass that can find it hard to cope with extremes to a clear warm treble. Detail was easy to make out in several nuanced tracks such as the "High Road" by Broken Bells and on "Urban Hymns" by The Verve. The sound was dynamic as evidenced by listing to "Assessment" by the Beta Band and Snoop Dogg's "Drop it Like its Hot" outperforming the other contenders by a clear margin.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic product, but still very expensive 12 Dec 2009
The astronomical price tag is all that stops this fantastic product from getting 5 stars. I was fortunate enough to be given them as a birthday present by a group of friends, otherwise I could never have afforded them. Apart from the cost, they are, in my view, pretty much flawless. They are very comfortable and the headphones themselves reduce exterior sound by around 1/3. When switched on, they do exactly what they should; they reduce noise, not sound. You can still hear people speak and ordinary sounds appear dulled, but still audible. However, all the noise (in the true sense of the word - as in white noise) is cancelled out. This allows you to listen to your music at volumes far quieter than with conventional headphones, hence these are a lifesaver on a plane, in the car, or in any crowded or loud surrounding. Sound quality is exemplary; when compared to my standard "earbud" style headphones, well, there is no comparison. Bass tones are rich and deep but never forced and the higher notes are crystal clear but never tinny. Battery life seems close to the claimed 35 hours, in two months I have used only 4 AAA batteries. The headphones breathe well, with specialised ventilation so ears don't get too hot, even in warm conditions. The case is sturdy and keeps the headphones clean and safe, it even has it's own ventilation to allow the headphones to dry if replaced when slightly damp. It also has a place to store spare batteries so you need not be caught short. I can find only two minor flaws; the first is the fact that, without batteries, these headphone will not function at all, requiring a regular set to be carried at all times in case of sudden power loss (however, a set of earbud style headphones fit easily in the case as a backup)....
