I've been using these for a while now. I'm re-discovering my music library and hearing new things! Great quality...but I'd expect that, given the price paid and Bose name. My wife says she's become a "Bose widow"! Ha! There is a certain 'feel' to get used to when you turn them on.

These head phones are only good for people who travel or work in an office and want to remove background noise. Which they are great for, but you can't even walk down the street with them on. The sound cancelling to stops everything and you cut get it cutting in and out.

I've been looking at getting these headphones for a really long time, and I had made up my mind on my last flight to CA that I would get the Bose QuietComfort 15 Headphones before I fly again. I'm sitting on an airplane right now with these things on and they are simply incredible.

I had accumulated quite a few Airmiles points, so I decided to check out what some of my options for rewards were. When I browsed through the website, I found an item that I decided to redeem my points for.
