Bose QuietComfort 15 Headphones Review

I purchased the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones nearly 4 months ago and so far I am completely impressed. I bought these because I do a lot of flying and up till then had never been able to completely eliminate the sound of the airplane engine from my headphones.  I was told by several co-workers that these were the best noise canceling headphones on the market so I decided to give them a try.  I’m very glad I did.  So, without further delay, my Bose QuietComfort 15 Noise Canceling Headphones review:

Sound:

The sound on these is very good.  The audio seems to be true to what it should be and not distorted at all which is great.  Possibly the best thing about these headphones is the great quality noise canceling.  I have been everywhere from a loud air plane to a New York City taxi and never had any problems with the outside noise leaking into my music.  I really enjoy listening to a lot of classical music and there is nothing worse than hearing a honking horn or revving engine while trying to enjoy it.  These headphones solved that problem for me.

Comfort, look and quality:

The QuietComfort 15’s are quite comfortable to wear.  I often even fall asleep wearing them on a plane and don’t wake up with sore ears or anything.  The quality is top notch as well.  When wearing these headphones I’ve often leaned over and whacked them on the wall of the plane or even dropped them from standing height and they have not broken yet.  They feel sturdy like they will last a long time and that’s not surprising from the Bose brand.  The look of these headphones is really nothing special in my opinion.  If I were still in my early 20’s and cared about having the trendiest look all the time I might not have chosen these but I’m not so I am happy with the classic headphone look.
