How do these stack up against Bose QuietComfort 15? Bass sound? Comfort level around the ears for extended period? Battery life?

I bought the Sony headset because of the cost-benefit ratio. Less 120.00 than Bose and same quality.

I bought the Sony headset because I was disappointed with the Bose system that I had for years. The Sony is much quieter, more comfortable, and seems to have a much longer battery life, so I'm very pleased with it. The improvements are due to a much more modern technology, and it's really effective.

Ok. First off, these have memory foam cushions for ear paddings, second these do not require batteries, third the sound on these blows Bose out of the water. It feels as if the sound is 3D Bose is more accoustic. I just want to say once you put then on you won't be able to take them off, the sound is that good. For noise cancelation, it's better than Bose.

Hi there, I bought the earphone/head-set for travel purposes (plane and rail) - in noisy environements the music quality is good, the ANC is good as well. But I do not have any experience ie with the Bose stuff since I was looking for something at resonable price. The mechanical quality is fair - the head-set function seems to be broken already- maybe a loose contact. kind regards, Dieter

I would think they would be better as I certainly did not like the Miles Davis ear buds. Recently I bought Bose and have been very happy. Earlier I had bought Sony (approx $150)(can't remember model #) and was very happy with Sony as well.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

They're not noise cancelling, and they're not Dre Beats, but skullcandy is my #2 when it comes to sound quality. These are no different in quality. For the price range, they definitely take #1.

Yeah, I bought a pair of these and brought them to the office. My boss has a pair of QC2's and we compared them side by side. The ANC's do leak noise considerably more than the Bose. You can test them on your head with a partner, or you can turn the cups down on a table and listen for the leakage. I decided to send mine back and get the Bose instead. I also had issues with some very mild static on the ANC's on a flight last week - very slight, but it was there none-the-less.

They don't sound as good to me. I haven't heard Beats, but I've heard many. I don't think Beats is advertised as noise-canceling. Bose Quietcomfort 15 are the best noise-canceling phones I've owned. Do not buy used old models. After many years, the ear cushions on my Bose phones were wearing out. I called them and they offered me the new model for $100 and said it was much improved. They were right. The new model sounds much better than the one I had.

I have Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and much prefer these. The earpieces go fairly deep into your ear canal to work effectively. I find them comfortable but others clearly may not.

Mine have had hundreds of hours of wear and I'm pleased with the bass. Better than the AD700 + 900, although the latter hasn't gone through burn-in.

The Bose head phones are for people with discerning tastes in music who don't want to blow their heads off with sound. The sound imaging is superb. Way better than Sennheiser. The Beats are for people like me who want to blow their heads off. They still have excellent sound clarity. Between the two it's like a bottle of fine wine compared to 4 bottles of Boone's Farm. The Bose have noise cancelling that will mask a locomotive. I know thru experience. The noise cancelling on beats is marginal but with the music that loud, does it matter?

The bass response, while it will be audibly heard in extended lows will NOT be felt. It's more of a sounded punch than one you could feel compared to ATH-M50'S. That is an unfair comparison though because of the open design and closed difference on the m50's. These are the most comfortable headphones i've ever worn, though.

Honestly, I can only compare them to my Sony extended bass earphones and estimate they have 10-20hz greater range. Hope this helps

I've only used Bose for an ipod dock. So sorry I can't compare. I am actually back to listening to my skullcandi in ear buds and they sound better than Montster dna. Good luck

Noise canceling isn't great. Bose qc15 have excellent noise canceling however the sound quality is better on the ue6000. I love my Logitech headphones!

Beats isn't really good. They sound muddy and is not worth $300. When you buy the beats, you're pretty much paying for the brand, not the sound quality. But the beats do have good bass. And they do look great.On the other hand, the bose 15 has better sound quality, clarity, and amazing noise cancellation. The bose are smaller and weight less then the beats. You can wear bose for hours. That's how comfy they are. The beats start to hurt your ears after about an hour. In my opinion I kinda like how the bose 15 look. It all comes done to this: looks or sound quality.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both.Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.
