If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years of tech reporting it’s that you should never say Bose
makes good products. Bose, like Apple, is a lightning rod for informed and uninformed attacks from
both the pro and con camps and to say they do things well – or poorly – is a dangerous proposition.
That said, I’m here to tell you that if you travel a lot then you should get the QuietComfort 15
I tested these headphones during three long overseas flights. I’ve been a fan of the QuietComforts
for a few years now and always wore the QC3s, the smaller version of the original QuietComfort
headphones. However, the noise reduction built into the new model is quite staggering. In an
airplane cabin turning these headphones on and off shows you how effectual they are. Instead of the
steady, buzzing hum of the airplane you hear silence.
