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 a lightweight fit that stays comfortable for hours. It's a combination of benefits unmatched in the industry.
Quieter than ever before
We were the first to introduce noise cancelling headphones over 20 years ago, for use specifically on airplanes. And we've continuously improved the technology since then.
QC®15 headphones significantly reduce even more noise across the full spectrum of human hearing. Advanced electronics now use microphones both inside and outside each earcup to sense and reduce more of the sounds around you.
QC15 headphones also feature improvements to our proprietary ear cushion technology, further reducing unwanted noise. New cushion materials now block more noise before it enters the earcups, delivering an even quieter listening experience and a comfortable fit.
Concert hall sound—or peaceful sanctuary
QC15 headphones also feature proprietary signal processing and audio reproduction technology for quality sound—including deep low notes—from small, lightweight earcups. You enjoy well-balanced and detailed audio, all made clearer by advanced noise reduction.
Even when not listening to music, you can use these headphones to quickly leave the noise behind—and relax.
For travel, work and home
When you fly with QC15 headphones, engine roar fades even further away. When you listen at home or at work, fewer distractions get in the way. When you're on the move, an optional mobile kit lets you use these headphones with a cell phone, too.
