Introduction
The QuietComfort 15s are the latest headphones in Bose’s line-up of active cancelling headphones. It’s quite an improvement over the QuietComfort 3s. They might be a bit expensive, and they might not have the best audio quality, but they have some of the best active cancellation we’ve tested so far. They’re also pretty comfortable, which doesn’t hurt.
The Bose QC15s are currently available for $299.99.

$67.503Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
