Reassuringly expensive. Every time I open the neat carry case, I get the sense of satisfaction you only ever get from something quality, expensive and desirable. I wanted a set of these for years, then finally gave in and bought a set from the Bose store in Burlington, Boston, while on holiday.

knocks the pants off of any other noise canceling device out there....you truly have to try them to believe it....the only 2 downsides are (1) the battery only lasts 30 hours and once the batteries are gone u cannot use the headphones and (2) i sat on them by accident and they broke (luckily i...

best noise canceling i have ever experienced

cheap build

"Read around on the internet and you will find a fairly reliable consensus emerging on Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Audiophiles tend to hate them, because they are expensive but have low fidelity (compared to headphones in their price bracket); people...

I've had my QC15 headphones for many years and have been happy with the noise canceling and sound quality, but like many on here, I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the ear pads. I understand that the ear pads can wear out, but these are just inferior for no good reason.

Terrific for the price, had the same model for 13 yrs before it fell apart. Bose discontinued this model now but I was happy to get it at HSN for their sale price!

Wow... what a great product. Finished a trip from the US to Australia and New Zealand. We were out for 21 days and traveling all over. These headphones truly helped us to make this trip comfortable and relaxing. Having these on a 26 hour flight was the best! I truly think they kept us sane!

The Bose QuietComfort 15 are amazing, without the money it delivers a full range of sound quality and have amazing sound cancellation, these are perfect for road trips, plane trips, or just a normal day,even though they have a heavy price tag of $300 USD it was worth it.

Although the price is high, if you suffer from a hearing loss (as I do) these headphones are a good choice. I connected my headphones to my Yaesu 857D (with a mono adapter in the speaker jack.) I was impressed on how well I was able to hear the audio of the rig.
