Here again is a perfect example of a grouping of words that has no message. One cannot understand if this is a question, a sentence, or is it even understandable? As I started reading this I thought that it was some foreign language; however, as one reads on, or tries to, it becomes very evident that , here again, is a grouping of words that has no meaning, i.e. Is this a question, a statement, or is it at all intelligible?

This is all about preference. I personally do a lot of Keyboard/synth producing, which drives these headphones through very low bass frequencies and high volumes. For Live performance, these headphones give you a great perspective on how you sound, since they block out everything so well with the noise cancelling. I cannot speak for the Beats headphones as I have never tried them.

Keep in mind, Best Buy has a 15 day return policy in the event you are unsatisfied. Jump right in and find out if they're good for you.

Quietcomfort 15 is the best for me. Video, music, noise cancelling--what more can you ask? Oh yeah, they are comfortable.

Bose QC15 is the best noise-cancelling and most comfortable headphone

The MIXR are really the only Beats that I was really wowed by. They are LOUD, and pump a lot of music out into your ears. I went with the QC15, however, due to the acoustic noise canceling, as well as the wonderful Bose sound. I listen to some electronic music, and they have the right amount of thump, and sound great.

Then, there's times when I just want to block out the world and not hear anything, and the QC15's are great for that, too.

no.

Yes, they come with two cords; one for Apple Devices and one for all others.

As long as your phone has a standard headphone jack, they will work to listen to your music. If you want to use the headphones while talking on your cell, then you will need to buy the android connector cable (it comes with an apple connector cable, but not android). Hope this helps!

The built in features are only compatible with Apple products.

I use mine with the Samsung 4, Android

This product is compatible with non-Apple phones.

yes

YES

with the proper male-jack end you can. If the Samsung S4 has a normal female headphone-jack, then it's fine. If not, get an adapter.

I'm sure it can be. Just needs a 1/8" jack.....

I would assume so. it depends on the jack port size. Get the jack size of your phone and the QC 15, should work as the jack size is universal pretty much.

Yes. These headphones use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. This is compatible with the connector on the Samsung S4 mini as well as most other smartphones on the market.

(Note that the package does have an included optional accessory cable which is made specifically for the iPhone, this piece may work partially or not at all with other phones. It is not necessary for operation of the QC15 headphones.)

Yes, the BOSE QC15 headphones work great with my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone.

Most definitely! I use mine on a daily basis with my Galaxy Note II.

If you have a 3.5mm on your phone, it should work.

yes, they work with samsung smart phones.

yes.

The standard non-Apple version of the audio cable included with the QuietComfort headphones is compatible with most devices that feature a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The includes the majority of phones made by Samsung. Thank you.

Have owned 2pair of ae2. Outstanding sound quality imo.crystal clear lows and highs. Bose over beats no question.cant lose.although quietcomfort 15 is a much much better headset due to the top notch noise cancel and sound,one still cannot go wrong with the ae2.

The AE2 earphones are not quite as good as the QC15's. I have personally listened to both, and as far as the sound quality goes, they are very similar. The biggest difference is the active noise cancellation that is only available on the QC15's. If your husband does a lot of flying, these are definitely the way to go. The AE2 headphones do not have this feature, and also are smaller (tighter fit around my ear, personally). I was definitely NOT looking to spend $300 for a set of headphones, but for the amount of flying I now do, I am very glad to have bought the QC15's and not the AE2's specifically for the noise cancellation feature (I also use these at home if my younger brother is being loud and obnoxious! lol). I hope that helps, best of luck! :)

The AE2 have similar background as far as head phone technology, but what the do not have is the noise cancelling capability which is, in my mind worth every penny paid, from sound isolation to allowing me the enjoyment of music uncluttered with outside noise. At $299, they are well worth the price. The AE2, while less expensive, would be far less satisfying an experience.

It depends on your listening experience. If you need to eliminate background noise then you need the QC15. The QC15 will block out any background noise and definitely that irritating airplane engine noise when flying.

He will love these. They are comfortable and the sound is very clear.

The Biggest difference between our QC15 headphones and our AE headphones is the presence of active noise cancelling in the former product. This noise reduction feature is useful for neutralizing the annoyances of air travel or other noisy environments. However, if noise isn’t a concern and your main concern is sound quality for music, you will also find the AE2 have fantastic audio reproduction. We would encourage you to give them both a listen and judge for yourself!

I believe there is no limited edition. That is an on-line scam.

I believe the only difference is the color. The limited edition is a brown versus the silver color.

Color. That is it.

The difference between the standard QC15 headphones and the Limited Edition variant is the color of the ear cups, cushions and headband. Thanks for your question.

about $80.00

Different color leather for the headphones. They're a brown leather as opposed to the black leather.

Get a good pair of in-ear passive noise isolating phones. The active noise cancellation is expensive and can actually harm your ears because the ambient noise in fed back into the phones out of phase. You think the noise is reduced, but you're actually getting high levels of noise - just out of phase.

The noise cancelation is top notch and almost completely eliminates the roar of the jet engines.
You should have no trouble listening to audio books, music or anything else on a plane.
Get them before your next flight and try them out, if they don't work for you Best Buy has 15 day return or longer if you have higher level membership.

From my experience with these headphones (I travel a lot) I believe the QC 15 headphone would be perfect! It is amazing how much noise it cancels when flying! They really are amazing!

I mainly watch movies on flights via an iPad. The issue I always ran into was low volume conversations. Anytime there was dialogue with no background music in the movie I could never hear what was being said. The Bose headphones totally removed this issue. I can hear all conversations without the airplane drone interfering. I have also listened to podcasts (all vocal) with these headphones on an airplane without any issues. The technology is far better than what I thought was possible.

I would recommend these. I just took a puddle jumper flight that was so loud, it was scary. I put these on and I couldn't even tell I was on an airplane. Hopefully they work as well for you...

Thanks for your inquiry. The Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones provide an unmatched combination of noise reduction, audio performance and comfortable fit. The noise cancellation technology is designed specifically to reduce constant low frequencies, such as engine noise. This allows you to hear more of the desired audio without having to turn up the volume. We hope this helps!

These are not wireless headphones, so you will need to be connected to your device you're listening to.

These are wired headphones

As long as they are pluged in mine work fine!

Thank you for your inquiry. While our QC15 headphones can be used with the audio cable detached for just noise cancellation, the cable is required for audio playback from your source device. We hope this helps.

These headphones, unfortunately, do not have integrated Wireless technology. There are methods online to modify one of the included cables to use Bluetooth technology, but doing so would very likely void any warranty you may have.

I can walk through my whole house without loosing signal

The one major problem, which has erupted from the advent of the PC, is that it teaches improper sentence structure. As with this group of words, one cannot surmise if this is a statement, a question, or indeed, if it is at all understandable.

This headset has wires that plug right into my iphone

headphone cord plugs into headphone jack on top of i-Phone, not the jack on the bottom

You can try to obtain a replacement via the Manufacture. This pair comes with 2 cables, so double check your box to make sure you don't already have a spare hanging around.

Yes, in the package are iPhone control wire, standard wire, airplane jack, battery, carrying case.

Thanks for your inquiry. Replacement audio cables for the QuietComfort 15 headphones can be found at the following link, below the Parts/Accessories tab: http://bit.ly/JfKR5S

Thank you!
