Bose QuietComfort 15 - worth the money?

    Some scumbag robbed my beats headphones in the gym lastweek,
    they where bought for me as a present and although I wasn't exactly in love with them I thought they had a decent enough sound.

    I'm looking now to replace them with Bose QC15's,
    mainly because of the noise cancellation,
    A colleague in work has a pair and he let me use them today and I must say I was completely blown away by the quality of the noise cancellation.

    As someone who will be studying quite heavily over the next few months in a manic environment I think these headphones are perfect for me and I do think I will put the 300e price tag to good use.

    Anyone else have these headphone? What are your thoughts?

    Well they're going to be a huge upgrade on the beats anyway.

    They are nice headphones but they're overpriced (as are most Bose headphones) and a bit fragile IMO. Having said that I've had a lend of them for a while and the noise cancelling is quite tight. The sound quality is poor tbh but once again considering you had beats they'll sound pretty good. If you give us a budget I'm sure we could throw out better recommendations, but if you are fixed on getting them then there's nothing really wrong with them, they'll do the job just fine. They're more "on the go" headphones as well so you may consider other options if you're going to use them predominantly for studying.

    edit: Just noticed you said 300e...Consider the Denon AHD 2000, Beyerdynamic DT880, Shure SRH940, AKG K550 or q701.
