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

Whether on a 16 hour flight to Europe, or in a data center with 96db ambient volume (fan noise from hundreds of servers), or driving down the highway (ALOT) I get tired of ambient white noise.

These headphones do a phenomenal job reducing the din, and along with it, the fatigue tha comes with it. Sure I'd like a smaller case to carry around, but since covering my ears is part of how they function, there's not much to fault Bose for regarding the size. I'll just have to get smaller ears.

Compared to other headphones, I tire of earbuds being stuck in my ears long before these bother me, and these are among the best sound of any I've used.

Just do it. Your ears are worth it.

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 work in a cube farm surrounded by drama queens . . . . I bought these in a last ditch effort to preserve my sanity. They do get a little warm and I wish they came in a neck wrap style but I do love them.

The noise cancelling works well and when you turn on the music, you can set the volume lower. Hence, I'm preserving both my hearing and my sanity.

Sound : 8/10
Comfort : 9/10
Design : 9/10

I also own Westone 3, Klipsch S4, and more that not worth mention.

I bought these Bose QC 15's for myself, to get some decent sound quality and awesome noise canceling. The sound quality was much better than I expected!
If you turn on the headphones, it eliminates 50% of the background noise. Once you turn your music with about 50% volume, it eliminates 95% of the background noise. Once the music is turned up 80% volume and up, 99.9% of the noise is blocked. Just simply amazing!

This is my first Bose product.

I listened to other headphones that were in the QC15s price range, I'm no audiophile, but these sounded better by leaps and bounds over all the offerings from Monster, and others found at the Apple store.

The bass is just right. The bass will rock your ear drums, but it still does it in a clean and tight fashion. The highs are crisp and clear, I hear music totally different now.

My favorite part is the noise cancellation. Whatever it is that they've figured out to cancel the noise around you, the QC15s do it amazingly. On long road trips(when I'm not the driver) one of our cars has an out of round tire that produces the most awful resonating drone, and as soon as you flip the switch, silence. It's absolutely incredible...These are by far my favorite gadget that I own. I love the style, they're not too big, and the rings around your ears are super soft, and comfortable.

I highly recommend buying these headphones, but the best thing you can do is simply go to a retailer and put them on, and try them out yourself. I think though, you'll like these.
