Comment:
I used my QC15's recently on a flight to Aruba. The jet noise and chattiness of a passenger next to my wife were all drowned out by the noise cancelling feature. They were very comfortable and gave great sound reproduction with both the airplanes system and my Ipod.

Comment:
I love the headphones for completely canceling the noisy dog next door! I put them on when they let it out and my peace returns. While somewhat pricy, the quality is there to off-set that little sting.

Comment:
Although the Bose 15 is decent at canceling out constant-level sounds, it's poor at getting rid of nearby conversations and other noises where the sound level varies. It's fine on an overseas flight when most people are sleeping, but as soon as voices are heard, they are actually amplified. This may be good for when you are working and need to hear voices as people approach, but if you really want to cancel out all noise, this simply doesn't do the trick.

Strength
best noise canceling i have ever experienced
Weakness
cheap build
knocks the pants off of any other noise canceling device out there....you truly have to try them to believe it....the only 2 downsides are (1) the battery only lasts 30 hours and once the batteries are gone u cannot use the headphones and (2) i sat on them by accident and they broke (luckily i brought them back to bose and they replaced them for no cost)

Best noise cancelling headphones money can buy
Weakness
Price
If you have the cash, you can't go wrong with these. Battery lasts forever, and takes standard AAA to power the noise cancelling portion. Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Strength
Very Comfortable, Works very well in keeping out unwanted noise.
Weakness
None that I have experienced.
Used them on a recent trip on a commuter airplane and was seated over the engine which is pretty loud. Put my earphones on and all of the noise was gone. They are so comfortable, was able to sleep with them on.
