At first blush, the difference between the new Bose QuietComfort 15 noise-cancelling headphones and its predecessor, the QuietComfort 2, is hardly noticeable, but compare their noise dampening function together and the QuietComfort 15s do a far superior job of quieting ambient annoyance to practically silence, much like its redesigned small brother the QuietComfort 3s.

In designing its fourth-generation consumer noise-canceling headphones, the QuietComfort 15s, Bose left the basic design of its well loved QuietComfort 2s intact and simply redesigned them on the inside (with the same over-the-ear design, including earcups that swivel and fold flat to fit in a stylish case), adding even more effective noise-canceling circuitry and improving their sound quality.

While the QuietComfort 2s only had noise-canceling microphones (for detecting the ambient noise) on the inside of the earcups, the QC15s have them on the inside and outside, which improves noise filtering. Turning on the noise cancellation makes near muteness from the outside world. Naval carrier ground crews would be salivating. They do produce pressure on the eardrum, but, but so does every other n.c. headphone. It’s the nature of the beast.

With all of Bose’s noise-canceling headphones, you have to engage the noise-canceling (powered by a AAA battery) to listen to music. Battery life lasts about 35 hours. According to Bose, these headphones are designed to defeat a wider range of frequencies, going up to over 90 decibels; the QuietComfort 2s peaked more in the 84-85db range.

Sound is smooth and balanced, a bit better than the QuietComfort 2s and QuietComfort 3s, Base seemed to thump with a small more authority, and the higher frequencies were clear without so much as a crackle. So if you’re looking for expert headphones with serious noise-cancelling abilities, Bose 4th-Generation QuietComfort 15s will fill your ears with delight.

Audio Technica Silent Point Headphones have turned me into a total music zombie. These headphones are so excellent that I never want to take them off. Turning the noise canceling feature on it practically eliminates low to mid range frequency noise. Like the noise you would hear from airplane engines, the bus, or on the subway. The company claims that noise will be reduced up to 85%. In my experience that is about right.

The sound quality is tremendous. I was never blown away by turning the volume up or by overusing the equalizer. There was a noticeable lack of huge bass. This was simple to right by setting up my MP3 player correctly. The treble notes were incredibly clear.

The Silent Point headphones are also very comfortable. The ear cups are padded and are really very light considering the amount of stuffing in the cups. They look very similar to the Bose top of the line noise canceling headphones with the black and silver color combination. They also run on a single Triple A battery which will last around 35 hours. The headphones will still work even after the battery quits but the sound quality is just trashed.

Pricing for the headphones are around 0 bucks. They are extremely competitive in sound, comfort, and over all usability as other brands of noise canceling headphones. I reckon the best part is that they do compete with the heavy hitter Bose in that I get the same quality but pay a lot less. Overall a fantastic pair of headphones.
