Our take on the Bose® QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones

by Dave Bar

Get relief from ambient noise

Bose has long enjoyed a solid reputation for the quality and performance of their noise reducing headphones. Compared to earlier models, the QuietComfort® 15 headphones reduce more noise across a wider range of frequencies, thanks to advances the company has made in their proprietary Acoustic Noise Cancelling® technology. Quite simply, these are the best noise reduction headphones Bose has ever made.

Better noise cancellation with innovative Bose technology

The QuietComfort® 15 headphones feature microphones on both the outside and inside of each earcup that pick up the ambient sounds in your listening environment. Special circuitry inside the earcups then reacts instant by instant to produce an opposite, canceling signal. This circuitry efficiently minimizes unwanted external noises, so they don't interfere with the music from your portable player or the dialogue from in-flight movies.

The QuietComfort® 15 headphones also feature Bose's innovative TriPort® technology. It uses tiny vents in the earcups to produce a tonally balanced sound with deep, rich bass.

Take calls. Take control.

Bose includes a headphone cable made for select Apple products. A three-button remote control built into the cable lets you conveniently answer, end, and switch between phone calls, control the volume of your calls or music, and pause, play, or skip through your songs. You can even enjoy hands-free conversations on your iPhone®, thanks to the remote's built-in microphone. The microphone also lets you take advantage of the voice control feature found on many of the latest iPhone, iPod® and iPad® models. Just hold down the button and say your command.

The included in-line microphone/remote cable makes it easy to take calls and control your tunes

A comfortable listening experience

The earcups feature a plush cushion material that feels great. Plus, their around-the-ear design helps further seal out distracting noises. An adjustable headband helps ensure comfortable listening for hours on end, making these headphones great for long trips. You also get convenient portability — the earcups fold flat for easy storage in the included carry case. The single-sided cord helps resist tangles, and you can even disconnect the cord altogether and just let the QuietComfort® 15 headphones wrap your ears in soothing, restful silence.

    Features

    Overview: The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones feature exclusive Bose advancements in noise reduction technology, allowing you to hear less noise and more of your music and movies. It offers a lightweight fit that stays comfortable for hours.

    In-Line Remote Control: The QC15 headphones include two cables, one with an in-line remote control and microphone, the other without. The in-line remote is compatible with select iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Controls include volume, skip forward or backward, play, pause, accept call, reject call, end call, and engage Voice Control (with compatible iPods). Compatible iPhone/iPods include iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 2nd generation iPod classic (120GB), 3rd generation iPod classic (160GB, introduced in 2009), 2nd/3rd/4th generation iPod touch, 4th/5th/6th generation iPod nano, 3rd/4th generation iPod shuffle, and iPad/iPad 2.

    Note: Only the in-line remote is incompatible with other iPods. Used only for listening, the QC15 headphones are compatible with any iPod, iPhone, and most other devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    Triport Acoustic Headphone Structure: TriPort acoustic headphone structure, another Bose exclusive, features tiny vents in the earcups to enable a tonally-balanced audio performance; including reproduction of deep, low notes from relatively small and lightweight headphones.

    Active Equalization: Active equalization electronically tunes the headphones' frequency response, enabling outstanding audio performance.

    Improved Noise Reduction: The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones offer significantly improved noise reduction across a wider range of frequencies. Proprietary Bose innovations now use microphones both inside and outside each earcup to sense and reduce more of the sounds around you.

    Redesigned Ear Cushions: Redesigned ear cushions use new materials in a proprietary design to establish a critical acoustical seal; helping to further reduce noise while providing a comfortable fit.

    Single/Detachable Audio Cable: The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones utilize a single, detachable audio cable to offer greater convenience than standard Y-cables.

    Fold-Flat Earcups: Fold-flat earcups rotate 90-degrees for easy storage and portability in the included case.

    Slim Carrying Case: The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones come with a slim carrying case to help protect the headphones and accessories during travel.

    I like these headphones. They do block out noise, but wish they adjusted better for people with smaller heads. They are comfortable and the sound quality is good. I would recommend them to other people.

    Top headphones for travel

    Written By MikeR, Baton Rouge, LA on Tuesday, May 14, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is my second pair of these headphones (thanks, person who did not return the first pair when left on a flight!). I travel about 100K airmiles a year and these make the trip MUCH more bearable. The sound quality is good, the noise cancelling excellent (especially aircraft noise) and they are very comfortable over long periods.
    Pros:
    Good build quality, sound and noise reduction.
    Cons:
    Expensive compared to the competition, and will only work with a battery so keep a spare in the case.

    10 hour flight test

    Written By BobB, Houston, TX on Wednesday, May 01, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    They work well. What else do you need to know? The flight was from London to Houston sitting in the back behind the engines. Connected to an older iPod. Sometime late in the flight, I put these on my wife's ears (she normally uses ear buds). Her reaction was "I want a set of these". Comfortable for 10 hours continuous wearing. Like I said, they work well.
    Pros:
    Noise reduction. Quietness. Easy to use. Music quality very good. Lightweight. Comfortable.
    Cons:
    No "coolness" factor.

    Bose QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Canceling headphones

    Written By ADBrownBear, Eagle Rive, AK on Wednesday, April 24, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Purchased for use on my CAT excavator and JD Tractor to provide ear protection and be able to hear the radio clearly at a reasonable volume. The Bose noise canceling ability is excellent, When you turn them on the rumble of the engine, even at wide open throttle, goes away! When not plugged in to the radio, there is no hiss - the world just gets quiet and my ears are safe!

    These headphones replaced defective Koss headphones also purchased from Crutchfield, Crutchfield's support team is excellent. They went out of their way to get me set up with a good set of headphones!
    Pros:
    Excellent noise canceling ability. Comfortable but slightly loose fit. Very sophisticated looking headphones.
    Cons:
    Not as rugged as some others, slightly loose fit, Designed for the passenger compartment on a commercial airline. I would like slightly larger ear muffs but these work ok. They are more expensive that the Koss headphones which they replaced. Unfortunately, the Koss headphones didn't work. Two year warranty with some strings attached. A bit too expensive. They tend to "pop" with pressure changes in the cab when traveling over rough ground on the tractor.

    No noise, that's for sure

    Written By Roger, Jamaica Plain, MA on Monday, March 25, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    You can get better sound for $100 less. If you just want to listen to music, don't bother with these. However, if you want noise reduction, these do the job. I've used them on planes and trains, in bed with someone who snores really loud, etc. I've tried several other n-r phones, just as pricey, that don't do nearly as well. Also, while parts of this seem flimsy, I've slept with them and subjected them to a lot of strain, and no problems. The detachable cord allows you to pull the cord out without damaging anything. Good batteries last 30-40 hours.
    Pros:
    Noise reduction, well built, comfortable
    Cons:
    Sound quality is not that great.

    Silent Treatment: Sometimes a good thing

    Written By Bill L, Spokane, WA on Sunday, March 17, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Though these do not cancel ALL external sound, they are excellent almost-noise cancelers. Equally amazing, they are full-size headsets that are actually comfortable for extended periods. Sound quality is excellent for the classical music that I use them for.

    The rotating earpieces allow for a quite compact case that still has room for the accessories and some spare batteries. And speaking of batteries, the single AAA cell lasts a looong time. I'm up to around 15 hours so far on the first battery.

    Headphone technology at its refined best.
    Pros:
    Great sound, enhanced with reduced external noise interference. Quite comfortable for ear-surrounding headphones. Takes away airline drone.
    Cons:
    Noise reducing but not noise cancelling

    Great noise cancellation

    I bought these headphones to use with my ipod while I work. The most important thing to me was the noise cancellation and I am really happy with it. I work in a machine shop with loud machines running constantly. These headphones effectively block out the noise in the shop. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They sound great to me and I'm very happy with my purchase. Crutchfield's shipping was really fast--I had them the next day.

    Written By KM, Idaho on Monday, January 21, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    QC 15's did everything advertised...the best noise cancelling headphones on the market with outstanding sound reproduction and comfortable to wear. I tested these against headphones from B&W, Sennheiser, Beats, Polk Audio etc and liked these the best. Some were too heavy or uncomfortable and others noise cancelling abilities were lacking. Confirmed the noise cancelling capabilities on a plane ride with a crying child...I had a nice quiet trip!!! I would definitely recommend giving these a try.
    Pros:
    Lightweight, comfortable and superior noise cancelling
    Cons:
    None! You get what you pay for...

    Best sound. Ever

    Written By Jimbo, Florida on Saturday, December 15, 2012
     
    Owned 1 year. Only real gripe is build quality. I am careful and have no issues, but suspect road warriors would be eventually disappointed. I think some of the fragility is due to concerted effort to cut weight. If you can manage this concern, I must say this gives the most clean, natural, balanced sound ever, ever in anything outside THX certified environment. Will state I am not fan of artificially jacked up bass that some headphones promote. With QC15's you hear music as intended, including low bass. Classical is purest ever. The lightweight allows me to wear comfortably for hours at a time. Closed design may make your ears warm in summer. NC is best in under $301 group, have tried many brands with same music. As far as complaints about not running without a battery, how much trouble is it to put a couple spare AAA in the case? In the end headphones or earbuds represent a compromise of our evolutionary bodies being conformed to modern environment like airline headrests. You need to pick what compromise you can live with. I have never been a fan of Bose finding them overpriced, but am open minded enough to recommend these heartily. If it lasts I would consider them to be an excellent value.
    Pros:
    Weight, natural sound, acceptable battery life
    Cons:
    Fragile, cost. I wish there were earbud version for working out.

    The ABSOLUTE best headphones on the planet!!

    Written By JerryD, Virginia Beach, VA on Tuesday, December 04, 2012
     
    While everyone else wants to style and profile in the other faddish and colorful brand name headphones, nothing compares to the sonic purity, noise canceling ability, and brand excellence of the Bose QC-15s. First, Bose has always been synonymous with high quality sound reproduction and their reputation precedes them. Second, I've owned several Bose products in the past, including other models of headphones, and I've never been disappointed. And finally, I did a side by side comparison with the other popular brands and it was no competition. The others were very bass heavy (I guess that's what all the kids like-thumping bass) with very little emphasis on overall sound equalization, and the noise cancellation feature couldn't compare whatsoever. If you want to look faddish and cool like all the popular atheletes sporting big, bulky headphones, go right ahead. But if you want the best features from headphones such as quality sound, noise cancellation, and reliable performance and comfort, Bose is no doubt the answer. And by the way, they look cool also.
    Pros:
    Superb external noise elimnation, excellent sound, comfort.
    Cons:
    None

    Bose QC 15 Acoustic

    Written By NB, North Bergen NJ on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I'm using this headphone for a few days now and found it very impressive. The sound quality is outstanding and noise cancelling makes it perfect. I already have Bowers and Wilkins C5 (that is too a brilliant performer) and happy to say that this product is very comparative to that (even better in bass reproduction and noise cancelling).
    Pros:
    Outstanding sound quality Best noise cancelling so far I've seen Comfortable in wearing
    Cons:
    Does not work without making Noise cancelling on
