Reviews for Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones (with Remote and Mic)

I was originally a bit skeptical about wether to spend £300 on a pair of headphones, but after testing these at the Apple store I can honestly say that you really do get what you pay for. Once you put on the headphones (even without music playing) all the surrounding sound just disappears so you can fully focus on the music you are playing. Amazing quality, and they are very comfortable on the ears.

I would highly recommend these to anyone

A simple review of an outstanding pair of headphones.

Build Quality - Excellent, high end materials, solid connections, soft ear pads, sturdy & light

Sound - Strong base, not too over dominant, clear treble with great acoustics. They really do bring your music to life, combine them with some ear drops (joke!) & you will hear things in your music you never heard before.

Noise Cancellation - Brilliant, much improved on the already excellent QC3's

Fit - Very comfortable, as with anything, they take a little getting used to but after a very short time they fit like a glove, so to speak.

Value for Money - Personally, I think they are an absolute bargain. I believe they are increasing in price by £20 from £279.95 to £299.95 (they are the higher price in Bose stores already) so you may want to grab a pair before they do go up.

Summary - Great headphones with brilliant build quality, amazing sound, excellent value for money, very comfortable fit, what more could you want!? Buy them, I did & i'm exceptionally happy otherwise there is no way in this world I would have sat & typed this review ;-)

These really are the best headphones money can buy. They satisfy in every way!

I bought these today from the Apple Store and winced slightly as I keyed in my PIN, but as soon as I plugged them in, any misgivings were gone.
To feel as if I was in the concert hall when listening to Karajan's 1969 remarkable interpretation of Beethoven's triple concerto with Oistrakh, Rostropovich and Richter; that alone made these headphones worth the money. The sound quality is remarkable, and to put a price on such clarity, fidelity and subtlety seems almost churlish.
These headphones will, however, expose the limitations of your music library. You'll regret being parsimonious with your bit-rates; MP3s don't really have the depth and richness these cans will want to bring out, even at 256 and higher. You'll want to go back to your CDs and re-rip them in a lossless codec to appreciate the rich sonorous bass, the beautifully balanced mid-tones and the clear, airy trebles. Hang the disc-space - if you love your music you'll be smitten by these headphones and will want to do them justice.
They do show up the differences between different pieces of hardware, too; my iPod Classic has a more attenuated sound than my iPhone 4, while the Macbook lies somewhere in between Who would have thought that, after years of searching, I'd find something approaching audio heaven with a telephone? Funny old world.
Your mileage may vary, of course, and while the overture to Rheingold can be felt as much as heard, with the amazing E flat drone insinuating itself into the very bones of your skull, a piece of hip-hop or house may find these headphones lacking.
Me though; I'm one very happy bunny.

I am a frequent flyer, and have tried multiple headphones - for traveling purposes - before these from Bose, and finally i found what i was looking for. They are excellent for travel and sounds amazing. The reason i only rate this as 4 star product is that i don't feel they are as comfortable when you are out on the streets walking.

Many hours of travel every week, the bulk of which are of the tube. As soon as that little green light turns on, it just gets peaceful. The majority of the background noise disappears. The conversations around you are reduced. The spill over of other peoples' music is eliminated. You have a much nicer journey. When they are on they are snug, very comfortable, and in wintry weather warm!
It's not perfect. Walking with them makes for a thudding in your ears.
Overall, even with the hefty price tag, this is a beautiful product.

I have bought those a while ago I was very pleased with them the sound quality and noise cancelling (I have used them in really extreme cases, e.g. race track or engine testing bay's and they have really reduced the noise much better then the industrial ear mufflers)

Recently I have bought the Bose Apple Remote for them, to my surprise it not only works with the iPad and iPhone but also with my Mac air, I can change songs and adjust the volume fantastic and highly recommend!

I wanted a pair of these for ages so finally took the plunge. They are great when you're sat still on a plane or train.

Unfortunately, most people who walk from their home to the station each morning don't want a separate pair of expensive headphones when they've just spent £279 on this set. You can feel every single footstep you take reverberate around your head; a real disappointment on a premium product such as this.

For comfort and sound and noise cancelling when sat motionless, they are awesome; I just think headphones at such a hideous cost should be perfect in all other settings, too.

I have been looking for a long time for some headphones, i have looked at them all from in ear to over head $40 to $300 and after trying these i was hooked. i have had them for two weeks now and can honestly say they are amazing. For pure audio quality they can not be beaten. Put them on and turn on and you can tell you have something special, they cancel out all noise. You can try any type of music on these and they make it more enjoyable then ever before and i have a bose set up at home. Eminem to classic, they are special. I was caught between these and the beats audio studio, they both sounded great but for all round sound not just bass these are the ones, also the build quality are so much better.

I must join the herd of users - this is really a great product and by far the best sound I have ever experienced from a headset. Can highly recommend to all.
