hey i am confused between Bose QC 15 and NAD HP50 as both are the same price.? i do prefer sound quality over noise guarding

That's why I went with the NAD vs the Bose. The noise guarding on the Bose is great but the NAD just sounded better overall. Much warmer natural sound to my ears.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the Bose. The NAD HP50 is not noise canceling. Their isolation is desent in a room with other noises.

Thanks for your question. I find the NAD to be extraordinary sounding. This is a fantastic sounding headphone. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud NAD dealer.

If sound quality is what your after, then I'd get the HP50's. They sound astounding. They are also well constructed. My only complaint is that the ear cups are a bit small for circumaural headphones.

If you prefer sound quality, your choice is simple....Get the NAD HP50. They have superior sound quality. The Bose QC 15 may be a better option if noise canceling is a must, but even if that was the case, I would choose the NAD HP50s. They have a superior neutral sound. It is like being in a well amplified sound room.

Everyone has their preference, mine is the Bose, next person may prefer B&W. Visit a Big Box Store and compare both.

I'm really sorry that you have to be in the hospital for the next couple of weeks I hope all goes well for you. Depending on what your price range is looking like I would suggest anything by Bose. Both their in the ear and over the ear headphones pack huge sound and quite comfortable. The NRG are decent but the sound quality is nothing to brag home about. For the same money I would probably go buy something from Seinheiser(probably spelled that wrong) take care and best of luck!

This one is pretty comfortable, but I think QC series are lighter. If you want a lighter and better noise cancelling, QC15 or QC3 would be the best choice. If you think better sound quality is more important, then you should choose parrot zik.

No, they're not noise cancelling at all. They're open back headphones so they will not isolate you from the outside world. Plus, they leak out a lot of sound. The Bose QC25 should suit your needs quite well since they are in fact noise cancelling.

Bose QC25 are great but they have a cord and these Sony mdr-1rbt are Bluetooth and can be plugged in with 3mm cord. i guess just depends on what you are looking for in a headphone the Bose QC25 that i tried on at best buy sounded much better than these but don't have Bluetooth capability and thats why i chose these over those. Sony has great sound too but bose has much better noise cancelling capability. Overall both great headphones and have their pros and cons just up to you which ones you get. Hope this helped.

I love Bose. I would say Electrohome is not quite the same quality as Bose, but you're also paying less than half the price for it.

I have both and I used the new 20i last week in the plane. In my opinion QC 15 is better in noise cancelling but I like the 20i to carry around.I used 20i in the bus and in the car with IPHONE listing music and I like it. Quality QC 15 is better in the plane but to carry around I like 20i

I dont know the impedance of the qc15's, but if the ohms are 50 or less, i dont think the e17 would help very much. Low impedance headphones usually do not require much help from amp/dacs. I really can only talk about the e07...only slight improvement due to bass boost when plugged in to my PC/i Tunes. My Acer PC seems to power my sennheiser 598 or Audio tech ATH-50's very well. If you are using i-phone or Gallaxy mobile devices, portable amp/dac is essential. I hope this was helpful.

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

I would say no. If you're looking for complete noise cancel. Go shell out the extra cash for the QC15.

I own both the QC-15 and the A20. Sound quality from both very similar, however the A20 is better at reducingoutside aircraft noise. A microphone adaptor from Ufly Mike allows the QC-15 to be used as an aviation headset.

Hi Max, with regards to the comparison, personally I feel there is no comparison. The PSB is far superior in sound quality. Howvere the noise cancellation in the Bose is impressive. With regards to whether people can hear you in the library, I would say like any head phone when played at a very high volume people near you can hear you especially in a quiet surrounding like the library. But if played at a reasonable volume your're pretty safe. Ask a friend to give feedback or ask a friend to put the headphones on and you listen. That's the best gauge. Battery life based on 4 hr usage a day last more than 2 months. Reviewers say it last 55 hrs on a day and night usage. Hope this helps.

Yes. That said, the NC on these headphones is not as good as Bose. I knew that when buying them. The fact is Bose has great NC, but lousy sound. These have great sound, but the NC isn't quite as good as Bose. It depends what your priority is. Mine was great sound first, NC second, because the times I use headphones when I don't really need NC, I still want great sound.

Mr. Banister ,The only headsets I can vouch for are the Bose QC2's and QC15's. They are the only ones I've installed. I am very happy with the product but you will have to pose the question to the vendor:Rons Electronic Saleshkg8qsnjxkfpwyr@marketplace.amazon.comHTH,Willie

Hi there, I bought the earphone/head-set for travel purposes (plane and rail) - in noisy environements the music quality is good, the ANC is good as well. But I do not have any experience ie with the Bose stuff since I was looking for something at resonable price. The mechanical quality is fair - the head-set function seems to be broken already- maybe a loose contact. kind regards, Dieter

I have both (just got these today and have had bose for a while now). Bose sound a little better, were easier to get a good fit. But I really like the Bluetooth / no wire. I'll keep both, use them for different things.
