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

...I'm serious, so let me say this again: I have these on for a longer period of time when awake and at home than I do not, although I've figured out a way to lie down in bed and still have them on when I really need peace.

I feel that I need to go a lot further in my absolute praise of these Bose QC-15's: These headphones have significantly changed my life for the better in a couple of ways. For example, I suffer from anxiety, which is why I like to wear them all the time. I tend to spend a lot of time in front of my computer to work (and play), and during those (long) periods of time, I wear them always. They help me every day with the tremendous calming effect that they have on me and they're so incredibly comfortable that I sometimes forget that I have them on at all.

Another good example is airplane noise: I had never been able to sleep on planes before getting these. I actually look forward to flying again, because I know that when I take them out of their (very sturdy and sufficiently protective) case that is included, I'm about to cancel out the crying babies, people bickering, talking on cellphones, etc. You know who you are! ;-) The sound of the aircraft never really bothered me but it, too, is muffled to where it is reduced to little more than a distant and almost pleasant white noise.

Incidentally, these headphones are pretty good at playing back music, too. Ha! No, really! No matter what you like to listen to, the QC-15's will reproduce music phenomenally and accurately. Go get 'em. :-)

while they are certainly wonderful headphones with excellent Bose sound, I still feel the same about the audio quality of these headphones as I do for all Bose products. Missing crispness and quality in the mids, mids/high, and the high. Not enough to bother me by no means. Bose has always made a quality product. These have replaced my beloved Sony Studio Monitors that are 21 years old as my favorite headphones. Still lacking compared to the Etymonic Research earbuds (much more comfortable tho). The noise canceling is second to none, these things are insane.

I love this headphones. They make you want to listen to your entire music collection because they sound incredibly good. The noise cancellation works perfecty and it blocks 90% of the external sound so you listen only your music. Try them on before you buy them, but of you want good headphones, this are the ones you're looking for.

The quality of sound on these is like no other headphone that I've ever tried. The base isn't overly disturbing (as on beats). They quality of materials is also excellent, fairly sturdy but still flexible enough. My one and only problem is the huge amount of sound leakage that occurs when I play music. I know this because sometimes I let other members of my family use them and I can hear the music almost as well as them sometimes. But otherwise, I love them!

Very light and comfortable. Noise cancelling is OUTSTANDING.

I also bought the B&W P5 which have better sound than the QC15, but had to return them due to being so uncomfortable.

this headphone is a showpiece of modern technology

have been using it for 7 months and there are no cons...

you just can't hate the sound quality...as a headphone collector I never heard another pair of noise-cancelling headphones as good as this one.

the noise-cancelling is simply stunning!

Love this product, one of a kind, and the price is pretty fair for such level of precision engineering

buy it, i guarantee you will not regret

A friend took me to his car to show me his $8000 car stereo. He was playing songs I hated so I put my Bose QC15's back on my ear's to seal them and his $8000 stereo went bye bye..

I have always loved good headphones but was never willing to spend more than around $150.00 on them due to the expense. When I started nursing school I purchased a pair of these after much debate and have been really pleased with them. They are the perfect gift for a studying college person or traveler. I use them all the time in the library even though the library is supposed to be quiet. They really help to eliminate miscellaneous noise and get you in the study zone faster.

The truth is that the sound is very good, but not mind blowing. They are very comfortable and will not fatigue you after several hours of wear. I am confident in saying that it was a very good purchase and the fact it includes a special headphone adapter for the iPhone was just a plus. If your on the fence... please know its worth the money for the sound canceling aspect of the headphones along with the great sound.

I tested many different noice cancelling headphones before settling on these. The day after I picked them up my local Apple store, I took them to work and simply retreated into my own little world. I was amazed at the clarity of the sound. On some tracks I could actually hear the artists count to the beat. I love the case. It will protect the headphones in my carryon bag when I travel. The headphones themselves were comfortable; I was able to wear them most of my work day without my temples and ears hurting. I will never purchase another brand of noise cancelling headphones.
