I bought a pair of these in 2010 as my work required me to fly extensively for many years. The best £250 I ever spent and I still use them now, had to change the pads like you but that's to be expected. Nice review and info.
Thanks! I am glad you have had a good experience with them as well. Next time you are using them try to purposefully listen to the separate instruments in the song. You will notice the amazing quality of the sound and the great instrument separation. Definitively a great purchase!
Same, I've been through 3 wireless headphones on my xbox , the Turtle Beach 700s , (low volume), Steel Series 9X ,( audio pop cutout & crackle) , Bang & Olufsen (audio pop cutout and lack of bass, app stopped working) All returned . I dug out my old dusty QC 15 , replaced earpads and plugged into my controller. OH MY WOW! sounded amazing , great bass , great noise cancellation. Sadly no mic , but I see there are some work around. But strictly for game audio , My old QC 15 wipe the floor with all the wireless ones I tried. The QC 15 need to be released.
Thanks for the feedback!😁 I also use these for gaming and they’re great (expect for the lack of compatible microphone). Really the best headphones I’ve ever owned!
Listening on my Bose QC 15s that I bought in LA in 2013 ... still working perfectly, great for simple listening and noise cancelling ... and even just noise cancelling on a plane without the wire plugged in.
I am glad I am not the only one who loves owning these great headphones. Cheers! PS: If you ever need to replace the ear pads I made a video on that. th-cam.com/video/zyUTkgqDOlE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, that was super helpful - there's a good deal on Craigslist list right now, but I was wondering how the technology held up after all these years! I actually like the fact that they use an AAA battery, because I have rechargeable ones.
If they are in good shape and the price is right, get them! They have served me well! If you need to replace the ear cushions check out my video about that here: th-cam.com/video/zyUTkgqDOlE/w-d-xo.html Make sure to subscribe for more content coming out soon! 😊
I actually like that they use AAA Batteries because I don’t have to charge them to use the noise cancelling feature. I just can use some pre-charged Batteries.
I've heard that Bose noise cancellation technology has remained essentially the same since Bose first developed the QC line of active noise cancellation headphones. If anyone can verify that, that'd be nice to know. I love the QC 15. For about $40 you can add a bluetooth 5.0 adapter that fits into the wire port on the ear cup and viola! - you now have a set of WIRELESS noise cancelling headphones that rival the Bose 700 and other high-end newer products that cost hundreds of dollars of more.
I don’t have exact proof of this but I’ve listened to the new ones and they sound very similar. Obviously the AAA battery is not ideal on the QC15 but it’s a small price to pay for great quality!
Here’s a link I found on Amazon Canada: YOCOWOCO Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter for Bose QuietComfort QC 15 with APTX/Mic/Volume Control, Black a.co/d/jetRfwK
I did exactly that with the cheapest Bluetooth 5.0 receiver I could find online (~$30) and can confirm that it sounds great. No big noticeable difference from when wired. I bought my qc15 when they first came out about 14 years ago and love them. How does the quality compare to the newer models? Is it worth paying to ‘upgrade’ to the newer model?

My QC15 hasn't been touched for i dont know how long. Might try and see if they're still working! Great content and video quality, you could be the next big tech guy here in YT.
Thanks for the kind words it means a lot! Please go find those QC15 you will not regret it. Your favourite songs will sound a 1000x better I promise! PS: Make sure to subscribe to never miss a video! 😁
@@TheAgentAssassin Ey! I still have it, just replaced new earpads, complete 2 original wires and the case and the other little thing i don't know what it's called. If you're down for a deal, i'm in the philippines i think that will cost you more for the shipping
Is really a good headphones, now the aaa has charge by Usb, really good quality in sound and still working really good, the only is the Bluetooth, is an option to convert it, but as wire is good option
The Tech Locker It’s a Voxoa Btunes shaped to fit qc15 and it works well my old QC 15 sound better than my QC35 11.more treble sharper sound . In my opinion there is no loss of quality from cable
To day my pair of Triport ae 1 headphones just died after 2 years of heavy use so ive been looking for a new pair of wired headphones. I will probibly get this pair becuse the wire is detachable and bluetooth isint a problem for me becuse i use a ipod clasic gen 6th evey day to school
@@TheTechLocker Yes, it worked out great. I repaired multiple pairs with broken speakers after that. And the pair that have the QC15 speakers, I sold that to shared flat neighbor and he uses them almost daily. So I knoe for sure that they work and he likes them.
Hey man, I got the same like yours just wanted to ask how do you change the pads? I tried so many diff ways it doesn’t come off? Any recommendations? And do you recommend Bose replacement pads? Let me know. Thanks a lot

are these any good for metal music?
I've had my QC15's for 13 years. They are still perfect after all these years. Best value for money of all time.
How long does the charge last on each battery?
I just paid € 30 for these second hand. Full functional with new pads Best buy I ever had. Top quality.
Great deal!

Using batteries has its benefits but it since you cant use the headphones without batteries you really need to some handy all the time!

Awesome vid!
Thank you!😁
I love QC15
I just bought these headphones on Mercari in good condition for only 36 bucks. Great buy.
Best purchase! 😁
watching this video with the Bose qc 35 2nd gen
Is really a good headphones, now the aaa has charge by Usb, really good quality in sound and still working really good, the only is the Bluetooth, is an option to convert it, but as wire is good option
Added a Bluetooth module to mine .they actually sound better than my qc35 mark 2
How is the bluetooth module? How is the battery life on it?
The Tech Locker watched 2 full length movies approx 4 hours then some music approx 1 hour and battery still good
Not bad! Any loss in quality?
The Tech Locker
It’s a Voxoa Btunes shaped to fit qc15 and it works well my old QC 15 sound better than my QC35 11.more treble sharper sound . In my opinion there is no loss of quality from cable
That’s great news! I might consider picking one up! When we are allowed to travel again, these will be handy on the plane. Thanks for the feedback!
Just bought a pair for myself.
Awesome to hear, enjoy! 😁
To day my pair of Triport ae 1 headphones just died after 2 years of heavy use so ive been looking for a new pair of wired headphones. I will probibly get this pair becuse the wire is detachable and bluetooth isint a problem for me becuse i use a ipod clasic gen 6th evey day to school
Buying them used for like...10€ so that I can rip out the speakers and put them into my QC35II, where one of the speakers broke.
So, quite nice.
Very smart! Did it work?
@@TheTechLocker Yes, it worked out great.
I repaired multiple pairs with broken speakers after that.
And the pair that have the QC15 speakers, I sold that to shared flat neighbor and he uses them almost daily. So I knoe for sure that they work and he likes them.
@@oilybrakes Wow, genius! 🙌🏽 Well done my friend!
Hey man, I got the same like yours just wanted to ask how do you change the pads? I tried so many diff ways it doesn’t come off? Any recommendations? And do you recommend Bose replacement pads? Let me know. Thanks a lot
You came to the right place! Check out this video in which I change the pads!

@@TheTechLocker Thank you so much. You are a God send... Already bought the replacements pads. Thanks a bunch again.
@@rbc744338 Good luck on the instal!
How about the noise cancelling? Can it compare to the new Bose nowadays? I really need one to work in a noisy environment... Thanks
Where can you find the fake Bose on Amazon?
The ones I got are the “Boltune” not sure if they still make them.
Is this headset with microphone?
Yessir!
你好，请问qc15和如今的qc45在降噪方面的差别大吗，我在考虑是否要升级到45
I haven’t tested them side by side, but I’ve used the QC35 and I didn’t notice a huge difference.
Bose qc15 vs AKG N60NC,maybe beyer
Lol this beggining
$300??? I just bought a used pair for $10 today! 😲
The best investement you can make, enjoy! 😁
Still using mine as well. Bought Bluetooth adapter and now I carry them with me everywhere.
Sweet! How’s the bluetooth adapter working for you?
@@TheTechLocker no noticable loss of audio quality, battery outlasts my daily need of 8 hours run time. Nothing to add beside that, It just works.
Thats awesome to hear! I might try it out! 😁
This is to funny XD and sexy at the same time bro :)
:)
Those headphones are a POS if you listen to loud metal music. Can’t turn them up much past 50% defeating the purpose of listening to powerful music.
I found the max level quite high on mine but I had the cable setting on “high”. You can switch between “low” and “high” on the top of the cable.
