I have not listen to Bose (?QC15), but very happy with ANC9.Definitely it's worth the money

i definitely tried a pair of Bose ones but these produce a much richer sound and as far as noise canceling goes, i liked these better as well. it was a no brainer for me to buy these. have been using them every day for the past year or so and still consider one of the best purchases i ever made

No idea. I'm happy with the Audio Technica. I bought the headphones bc online reviews rated them at least as good as the Bose, and cheaper. The Bose are prettier, though

I have recently tried the Bose equivalent to the ATH-ANC9. I prefer the Bose head phones, because the ATH-ANC9 was lacking in noise canceling ability however I did notice the sound quality of the ATH-ANC9 has diminished over since I have bought them.

One of my friends who has the Bose feels mine ore at least equivalent if not better.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

Sorry alan fo the late reply. These are not noise cancelling headphones, but sound is much better than Bose. I would not recommend them for a plane, but just for hearing crisp sound with the right amount of bass and treble.

Hi Edward, the Bose 25s have superior noise cancelling, but the sound on the M4U2s is much, much better. They are a bit less comfortable though.

They don't completely cancel out all the noise. If you want a cheap option, it's good. But if you want better noise cancellation, I'd go with a higher end headphone. I have to turn noise cancelling on plus play music for it to drown out any sounds around me.

I think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.

Well, I have the newer model of BOSE noise cancelling which I was using. Let me break it down: On long duration comfort-both the same. On Battery life - Phiaton. On the noise cancelling efficiency - Phaiton. On construction - Phiaton. On the reproduction of High, Mid and Low - Phiaton by far. Additional Feature - Bluetooth. I no longer use BOSE or other High Quality Noise cancelling headphone since my purchase of this headphone. BTW, I am an Audiophile.

They are not noise cancelling in the way that Bose devices are. These do not generate a counter frequency, but they do generate a white noise. They work, but not perfectly. When I wore them while mowing, the roar of the motor was muted but still there. I think the technology to do actual noise cancelling costs more. My biggest problem with these was that they broke quickly. That plastic strap that goes between the earpieces broke and from that time on the earphones were loose and fell off anytime I tilted my head.

They have amazing clarity for music and movies but they would not "block out the hum of the engine" http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/index.jsp Much more money but the work

The headphones are passive noise canceling as in it closes out other sound but it does not have active noise canceling like the Bose that send out a counter frequency to block the sound waves

I actually think the M4s are much better from a sound quality perspective. They have great reproduction. I have owned Bose and senheiser noise canceling phones and I would pick the M4s over them.

I own a Bose noise canceling headset similar to the set in question (ATH-ANC27). Bose is by far the best. For the money and size the ATH-ANC23 (in the ear) that I bought has surprising abilities. I was very impressed.

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

No, they don't keep noise out entirely, though good enuf for me, especially considering the good quality of the sound they reproduce. If noise cancellation is a primary concern, this product is not for you. Try Bose instead.

I don't think they are considered noise cancelling but they do a good job of keeping out the noise. For the price point they do a pretty good job not perfect but better than average.
