I received the Bose QC fifteen within the mail nowadays. My previous ordered was canceled by the retailer for a few reason. I went back to re-order and therefore the worth was marked all the way down to $229 shipped. in all probability a Black Friday deal or one thing. The headphones were well packaged and therefore the box included a travel case, 1x AAA battery, detachable cable, headphone adapter for passenger airliners, operating directions (many languages) and warranty registration card. Anyway, I simply plugged them in and gave them a fast listen (Bob Marley - Africa Unite). Sounded pretty tight off the bat. it had been a trifle serious on the bass, however still sounded pretty smart. Noise canceling was nice. Blocked out lots of noise within the house (running water within the kitchen, washer and dryer downstairs where i used to be, etc.)
So initial impression was that SQ was tight and NC was wonderful. i am going to conjointly add that they're terribly light-weight and comfy to wear. I plugged in my 225i that was nearby to merely provides it a fast sound comparison. i am no audiophile, thus I in all probability have the next tolerance for what a number of you'd contemplate "noise". no doubt the Grados killed the Bose in SQ, with the Bose sounding muddy when switching back. However, I didn't realize the SQ to be thus frightfully distasteful to fully rule them out as a travel companion. I do lots of traveling from time to time (planes, trains and automobiles), therefore the NC could be a massive and on behalf of me.
I will tolerate the mediocre sound as I suspected it might not be up to snuff with what i used to be used to being attentive to anyway. It merely wasn't purchased for that purpose. Another factor I ought to mention is that these won't operate as regular headphones while not battery power, thus you are SOL if your batteries go belly-up. simply make certain to pack spares within the handy travel case these cans go along with (loses a star for style in that regard). The Bose are place away till its time on behalf of me to form my next trip (don't forget to get rid of the battery). I figure if I stop on the road as usually as I do I will invariably place them up for sale on ebay and possibly build back most of what I procured them. Overall, not disappointed concerning this purchase and i will be keeping them for as long as i would like them. currently back to jamming out with my Grados...
