Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones

Tthe Quiet Comfort 15 headphones are the latest from the Bose, which should

grab your attention if you don't mind spending that extra bit on headphones, for

your iPod, laptop, etc.

The AAA sized battery is housed in the right ear cup, which powers the

output. It is actually annoying to have to worry about battery, when other

headphones can work well even without any.

In terms of functionality, the QC15 does offer really good sound quality,

which is what is expected from a Bose product. It blocks out the ambient noise

quite well, allowing you to catch even the lightest notes in the music. However,

we found them a bit uncomfortable on the ear, plus there is a weird suction

noise if you even press the ear cups even slightly from the outside.

Overall, the Quiet Comfort15 is expensive, but if the flash factor is your

priority, then you can definitely consider this. Else, there are a lot of other

alternatives available - Sennheiser PXC150 (Rs 6.5k) and Philips SHN9500 (Rs

5.7k).
