My QC 15's broke and had to replace them but was tired of the wires getting in between, so I went and gave these a chance and I do NOT regret it, the sound is crystal clear and loud. However, these are not noise cancelling but they still do a great job in cancelling the noise ( I take the train everyday) and I barely hear anything. The battery lasts 15 hrs which is enough for my train ride for the whole week and charging the headphones takes around 2 hrs which is not bad at all. Once again, I highly recommend these if you don't want any cables in between.
