Are these over the ear on on ear. How comfortable are they? (compared to QC-15)?

They are "over the ear". They are comfortable, but I don't know about comfort of the QC-15.

They are over the ears and are very comfortable especially for long flight.

The QC is best for comfort and sound. But overall the Sony headset is pretty comfortable.

They are over the ear headphones. I have glasses and still find them to be comfortable. I can where them for several hours with out discomfort. They are also pretty light so there is not much pressure on the top either. I have never used the other headphones however so I cannot compare.

On ear headphones sit flat against your ear. Over ear headphones do just what they say. They fit over your ears.

These cushions are specifically designed for the Bose QuietComfort (QC)-2 headphones. I suspect they will also work on the Bose QC-15 as the QC-15 design appears to be nearly identical to the QC-2.

I had the QC20s and got dizzy from the pressure. These are much better. Even slept with them on for a few hours to drown out snoring at a retreat.

I use them regularly on trains and less so now on planes.As others have said, they are on ear headphones so don't have the closed ear coverage benefit of the Bose QC which are designed like ear defenders with noise cancelling and then headphone speakers. As over ear headphones they give a significant cut in office background noise, air conditioning hum, aircraft engine noise etc.As they are not over ear they do not to as good a job cutting voices.I find them easier to sleep in than the Bose so generally get a better nights sleep wearing these in the 'cheap' seats at the back of the (air)bus.

i am not sure the shape of QC 15 but fit into my Bose AE2 seamless. like i said before Bose could sell the bluetooth alone if you own the AE2.

They fit the Bose ones if that is what you mean... The QuiteComfort 2 and the newer QC15

Yes they are over the ear and very comfortable. I got them for my husband and he falls asleep with them on.

For me, they are slightly over the ear. I believe they will be on the ear for some though.

Over the ear. Not very bright and can be turned off too. Think they are good for all music. Seem good to me for long use. Pads on the top and the ears and not too tight on the head.

They fit over the ears. But I found they are not as roomy for my ears as the Peltor Optime 105. Your ears may be different than mine so perhaps you may gave a different experience.

Yes, they are over-the-ear type and can cover your ears well. But please notice that they are wired headphones, not with bluetooth.

I don't think any headphones are comfortable to wear for a long time. But I've worn the BOSE noiseless, and I would say these are pretty up there. I take trans-Pacific flights (10-13 hours), so that means I've worn these for about 15 hour stretches. I wouldn't say I didn't feel they were there, but think of the alternatives (tremendous engine/air conditioning noise). So these are definitely a must-have! Also, I don't believe in buying any headsets over $120 or $150 unless you're a snobby "audiophile." So these are your best bet!

Yes, the ear cups do fit over the ear. I wear them to watch concerts in my theater so i dont disturb anyone and I will wear them for hours without any problems. Goos sound and good fit.

They are an over the ear design. I really like them I find them very comfortable to wear even for 6 hours or so at a time.

I own both the QC-15 and the A20. Sound quality from both very similar, however the A20 is better at reducingoutside aircraft noise. A microphone adaptor from Ufly Mike allows the QC-15 to be used as an aviation headset.

Sometimes my husband has the opportunity to fly in business class where AA loans out QC15 for free. He raves about how comfortably they fit over his ears and the best noise reduction he has every experienced. He has tried several brands, including previous Bose versions. When considering all aspects, Bose is the best. We are purchasing our own sets because of his experience.
