First, let me mention that i've tried earphones out in the past and found them to be extremely uncomfortable in most cases. The Bose earphones are comfortable, but they don't go very far in your ear. The Shure E3C didn't sound good and they hurt so much they were unusable. After that experience I skipped out on earphones for a long time.

Bose® QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones

The headphones that pioneered an industry are now even better.
QuietComfort 15 headphones feature exclusive Bose advancements in noise reduction technology. You hear less noise than ever before, and even more of your music and movies--with the quality sound you expect from Bose. And their lightweight fit stays comfortable for hours. It's a combination of benefits unmatched in the industry.
Update:
15 months - still using the QC15's several times per week and they are still holding up well. No fit or finish issues what so ever. I do keep them in their case when not using them and when they are in my laptop bag. Ejoying them even more with my new WP7 phone.
Exec Summary
- I highly recommend these headphones.
- Good in any situation where you need to concentrate. I could have really used these when I was in college for studying in dorms, libraries, etc.
- Battery life is excellent. I am pretty sure I have used them more than 24 hours on the original battery that came in the package and it is still going.
- Music sounds great. I have just started running thru my mp3 library but have hit on several songs that I know push the drivers pretty hard and they sound pretty damn good.
- Detachable cable. If you just want the noise cancelling, you can detach the cable and be cable free.

I'll keep it short and simple. I read all the reviews on Cnet etc, looked at all the amazon reviews and did a lot of research until I decided to buy these. And might I say I'm very happy with my purchase. The sound is awesome and my bass test passed Testing it with this song: [ ]. The sound isolating is awesome. I could cut my lawn with these and not have the volume cranked, it was quite nice. So all in all this is definitely a great set of ear phones and I recommend them as all the good reviews you see are true.
Amazing product. I am hearing sounds that I never heard before. Excellent bass sound too. The wires are thin and light, and that's ok with me because I don't like the wires to be heavier than the earphones. The noise reduction is also great, it blocks about 40% of ambient sound just the way it fits into your ear. Overall this is a great product for the style, ie earbuds versus over-the-ear. I'm glad I didn't have to get over-the-ear headphones to get the sound quality!

Ear Force X11 Amplified Stereo Headset with Chat

The Ear Force X11 is the perfect headset for XBOX gamers who want immersive game sound and XBOX Live communication at a great price.
Overview:
With an in-line amplifier and separate connectors for mic and line signals, the X11 also makes a great PC gaming headset.

Before I had this headset, I was using speakers from an acer h223 monitor, and the sound was horrible. This will review will be based on me playing Modern Warfare 2 since this is why I bought the headset, that and my fiance always complaining about the sound at night.
The Good:
Now, I am able to hear EVERYTHING. At first it was overwhelming, I hear things in the game I didn't know existed. I use the Ninja Pro Perk so my steps are silent, so that I can hear everyone else's steps. Now I can hear when someone is walking in a house, on metal stairs, or in a grassy field. I can hear "boosters" place their insertions and hunt them down. I hear silencers going off in the distance. I know when someone is to my left or the right.

My cat chewed through these and I am buying another pair as a replacement. They sound great and they get lots of use and abuse which they stood up to until one too many bites from the kitty. I highly recommend these. 400% better than any of the stock earbuds than come with ipods, zunes, etc.

Great Headphones, by far the best i have seen in a very long time....i sleep with them on and workout also, great headphones no comparison
I am really happy that I spent a little more money and followed the instructions on "burning in" the earphones. The sound quality is great and the noise cancelling is excellent. Am very happy with this purchase.
Cables seem small and I wonder how they will hold up, but these are such a good value I will not mind replacing them periodically if the cable gets a short.
