Bose - QuietComfort 15

Not sure if they are studio headphones, but I'm pretty sure they are not gaming headsets either. I got my bose quietcomfort 15 around 2012 iirc and they are still my pc headphones to this day (I have a sennheiser momentum 4 for when I have to walk around the house and don't want a wire interfering). The qc works without a problem and honestly they are one of the nicest headphones I had the pleasure of interacting with.

I’ve had Bose qc15’s or 20’s can’t remember the exact model for like…. Since whenever WoW legion first came out. 08/2016. They work as if they are brand new. I just replace the soft ear muff part every year or two. And I slapped a $60 modmic on the side and it sounds fine in discord.

Looking for Over Ear ANC for 75 dBa to use for watching TV while performing medical therapy.... I have Cystic Fibrosis and use a [Monarch Vest](https://www.hillrom.com/en/products/the-monarch-airway-clearance-system/) daily which makes approx 75 DBa. I have the original Bose QuietComfort 15 noise-cancelling headphones and am ready to replace them with something newer. I am using these for watching TV while doing the treatments. Once or twice a year, I may use them for a long flight, but primarily it is for the daily application above. What do you recommend? Budget is flexible. Keep in mind that 75dBa is like a vacuum cleaner noise on my chest.

My dad had his Bose QC15s for like 12 years and only replaced them because the head band cushioning was peeling off (he used them at the gym, I don't understand why), the actual headphones still worked. I currently have Bose QC45s that are 3 years old and they look brand new, zero wear so I'm expecting a similar experience. Bose all the way

My Bose QC15 has been my daily driver for 15 years. Still running fine. 4x ear cups replacement, 1x head band, upgrade to bleutooth, 1x wire replacement. Spare parts regularly available and quite cheap. And... Super comfy for long wear.

Yes I own: - APP1 (with replacement foam tips) - APP2 - APP3 - Powerbeats 3 ear wrap - OpenFit by Shokz ear wrap - Monster ear wrap - Bose QuietComfort 15 over the ear - Bose QuietComfort SE over the ear - JBL Live 675nc over the ear   Plus a few pairs of Shokz OpenRuns (various models) and a Chinese knock of AirPods Max. To be honest about the only firm rules around these are: - I only use Shokz when hiking/backpacking/cycling — I do not want my hearing obstructed - I only use APP2 when fully stationary — home office, work office, home (never with any movement, including never on public transport) because they fall out of my ears way too easily and have no keeper of any sort so loss is very very easy - Generally for plane travel I use one of the over-ear models (BOSE usually) - For fitness I use any of the ear wrap ones or the Shokz OpenRuns I’d prefer to use AirPods on the plane, just due to weight and space to carry plus the hearing aid features and adaptive transparency. But until the APP3 the fit on the APP2 was so bad it was not worth the risk. With APP3 the fit is much better and I may give them a try after some more trial time.

I love my Bose QC 20s, have used them for years. I'm sure they're discontinued by now but maybe you can find a used set somewhere. Have QC 15s also but they are so bulky for travel I find myself always using the 20s.

What model number are they up to now? I have a pair of old QC-15 headphones still (although they need new replacement pads again…)

My QC15 were my daily drivers for 12 years. Great for audio/gaming. Driver finally died. Replaced them with QC45. Better ANC, worse sound quality, absolute garbage for gaming (even while wired). They got replaced by some Sony WH-1000XM6. Way better all around except for their comfort, you will 100% need to replace the ear pads on them immediately.

They're expensive, but the in-ear Bose QuietComfort headphones are great. I've had the wired ones for a few years now, and I take them everywhere with me. I believe they've been replaced by wireless Bluetooth ones in their product line now.
