My recent purchase that i'm extremely pleased with is one for the gadget lovers called Parrot Zik. The noise cancellation is not as "powerful" as Bose however the bluetooth, touch sensitive , motion control , NFC . etc more than make up for it . pricey tho.

I paid around £125 for my QC15s. But this was in the US and when the dollar was $2 to £1.

As much as I like the headsets, I sent back their Wave Radio/CD player. It sounded great in the shop, but I wasn't keen on it in my lounge. It's a 6 sided room with 2 sets of french balcony/windows and 2 sets of balcony doors, so that may have had something to do with it. But it just sounded wrong.
