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 am still using my 15 year old QC15s for travel and daily use at home!

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.

I have the Bose qc 15, the 2023 Qc, and now the qc ultra gen 2 earbuds. I also have the airpod pro 2 and max. I think the max is better but I love my Bose. I think the Qc ultra in the over the ear setup would be a nice upgrade but I am really digging the earbuds and I travel a lot.

I have the QC15’s and they’re damn near over 20 years old! I’ll never get rid of them. They use a AAA battery and have the aux cable. I did upgrade to the QC45’s (I think yours are the 45s) and I love them too but it concerns me the battery is fixed inside and won’t last forever.

This is why I’m holding onto my QC15s, I even got an aftermarket Bluetooth device that fits into the ear piece that will connect via Bluetooth making it 100% wireless. Technically have 3 options with these headphones; connect with aux, connect my aux to a Bluetooth device that’s connected to my phone, insert aftermarket Bluetooth adapter and connect to my phone with 0 cords.

I have a big head and I wonder how is the clamping force B&W PX8 S2 vs XM6? The number one for me were Bose QC15 until they broke. Lately at the airport I was able to try Bose QC2 and they felt super comfortable on my head and ears.
