Are the QC20/QC20i better than QC15. Planning to buy these ones as they are smaller (And ofcourse not over the ears, so can use them in office)

I tried both in store and there wasn't much difference between them with noise cancelling next to an enormous fan. The QC15 have better quality sound reproduction due to the larger drivers, but honestly I have no problem with my QC20s. They sound great, the noise cancelling is amazing and I've slept for 10 hours straight on a flight from LAX to SYD sitting over the wing next to the engines.

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.

These were the Best Buy variant of the B20s. According to Klipsch, the only reall difference is a slightly different crossover point. My guess is that these might be a little warmer than the B20s. Interestingly, these rate better. I have a set and I like them very much.

I have used both. Both in Sennheiser Units. I haven't had a problem with either one in the limited time that I've used them. Other than a little bit of gaon adjustment, I can't see the price difference. Especially for the price, the SE 10 works perfectly In most applications.

Hello Aaron, I have two QC15s and decided to buy one of these cables for each ( ussualy I keep one QC for my international travels and another in our beach house). The cable is very good and works perfectly well. Just don´t worry - I had no problems at all.

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.

I think you get what you pay for. I own a pair of Bose Quietcomfort 15 ($300) and use them for work travel. They sound great and are really comfortable for prolonged periods of time. Much better than the Beats Executive model (also $300). Bought my wife the Sony Noise Canceling Headphones ($150) from Costco and she really likes them but doesn't wear them for long. My kids actually have the Sony MDRZX300 and they sound pretty good. Once you adjust them properly, I think they feel fine. Sorry for the long winded response.

I personally don't think burn in time is a huge factor, but the source will be. If you can try them in a store, then I suppose you can try various models back to back using same source. I did not have that option. For me, this was a huge step up from a pair of Sennheiser HD280 pros. I also like that they are different design than most out there. Had them on a couple long airplane rides now and am happy. Good luck.

This one is pretty comfortable, but I think QC series are lighter. If you want a lighter and better noise cancelling, QC15 or QC3 would be the best choice. If you think better sound quality is more important, then you should choose parrot zik.

Newegg is ignoring the release date and selling them. There are 5 reviews up there if you wish to read them. I bought a pair and I'm pretty happy with them but the 7.1 drivers aren't available yet (probably the reason for the delay). They just install as USB Stereo headset at the moment. Bluetooth sounds pretty good on my phone (but still bluetooth). The PS3 ones cut out a lot over bluetooth attached to my Surface but these ones are better (although I still use the USB because it's better than bluetooth).

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

I dont know the impedance of the qc15's, but if the ohms are 50 or less, i dont think the e17 would help very much. Low impedance headphones usually do not require much help from amp/dacs. I really can only talk about the e07...only slight improvement due to bass boost when plugged in to my PC/i Tunes. My Acer PC seems to power my sennheiser 598 or Audio tech ATH-50's very well. If you are using i-phone or Gallaxy mobile devices, portable amp/dac is essential. I hope this was helpful.

For me the bass is fine but I am not a big bass head. I can only compare them to the other headphones I own the Bose QC 15 wired noise cancellation headphones and to me they had better bass than those. However I did have an opportunity to listen to the Bludio's before I returned them for the Sony MK2's and they had more bass than the MK2's but I didn't think they sounded as good and they were a bit bulky and didn't fit on my head as well. The Bluedio's are substantially less expensive though and they did sound pretty good. Probably the best bang for the buck.

Yes, they work for mine, Quiet comfort 2....QC2 is the model number. But they are beginning to peel on me after a year or so of use. So not a long lasting model.

Pardon my intrusion, I recently purchased this replacement ear pads for my Bose QC15 and I am currently on my 1sr week of using it. The ear pads fit perfectly around the tabs where you took the original Bose ear pads, they are a bit tight fit but once all the tabs clicked in place it looked amazing. 100% perfect fit with my Bose QC15. I have no complaints at all. I think Ron advertised this pads for QC2 also. Hope this help you decide.

They have the same quality. Great noise cancelling and amazing sound. The difference is with the QC15 you cannot turn off the noise cancelling to listen to music. You will need batteries more often. With the QC25, you have the option to turn it off and listen with or without noise cancellation. If you can afford the QC25, I would recommend you buy that one as you have those choices and batteries will last longer. Hope it helps.
