Bose Quiet Comfort 15

Extracomfortable design; improved sound; highly effective noise-canceling circuitry; device folds for compact storage in included carrying case; 30-day home trial.

Expensive; when the battery dies, so does the music.

While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-canceling headphones.

The Bose QuietComfort 15s have a lot of improvements over the QC3s. They don't have the greatest sound quality, but their active cancellation feature is absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, even this strength has a weakness: you can't use the QC15s...

Review: Bose QuietComfort 15 Noise Canceling Headphone

And yet, it is my fiduciary duty to give credit where credit is due. I've been using QCs for couple of years now. Mostly at office with mentioned iBrethen and Mac as audio source. But also on long flights where they really shine.
