Why it's best:
If you’re willing to shell out for an excellent pair of noise-canceling headphones, then the Bose QC15s are your best bet. The QC15s look identical to the immensely popular QC2s that they are replacing. Not to worry though, the QC15s are nearly identical in design but come equipped with extensively reworked hardware for superior performance. When it comes to comfort, the QC15s feel just as good as the QC2s with thick and comfortable earcups that surround your ear, allowing for a decent amount of noise isolation even without the active noise-canceller. When it comes to noise-canceling, the QuietComfort 15s are unsurpassed, largely due to the ambient noise microphones included both inside and outside of the earcups. As for sound, these headphones are balanced and detailed on both ends with clear highs, warm mids and a tight bass (although not booming as some prefer). The only issue is that once the battery runs out, the headphones are no longer usable; however, the battery life is very good overall. These headphones are ideal for travel as they can be folded up for easier storage and come with an airplane adapter. They’re available with a 30 day trial period, which is definitely worth checking out. Overall, these are the best noise-canceling headphones on the market because of their winning combination of effective noise isolation, excellent sound quality, portability, and comfort. If you’re a fan of the QuietComfort line and looking for something a bit more compact, I recommend the checking out the Bose QC3s.
