Noise cancelling headphones

I've used the QC-15 and the are good. I had a headset buddy but the boom
was "limp" it worked. I have a Uflymic for the QC15 if anyone has an
interest.

My choice now is the Bose QC25 and modmic by Antlion. The QC25 has been
replaced by the QC35 so you can get a "25" in an affordable range.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones

I also used a QC15 and then moved to the QC25 and found that either is a very comfortable headset to wear for long periods of time. The little microphone that “dangles” in the cord actually works quite well with both the K3s and KX3 in most surroundings. All that it requires is a good TRRS jack to two TRS male plugs adapter.

I have tried a couple of the add on boom mics but I prefer to use my desk microphone (Shure SM57 or EV RE50N/D B) most of the time.

I have two pair Bose QC15 and one less costly headphones ($125), all of which are about three years old. The black coating on every one of the ear piece cushions has deteriorated and flacked off. The sets work properly and I like them but I could do without the black poof all over the place.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones

New replacement pads on fleabay for $15.
The old pads do not do well with sweat &
body oils.

Bose sells replacement earpads … not overly pricey.
