My Review

8/10

I've owned the QC15, QC35 and these QC45. I have travelled regularly for work on the longest flights in the world (NZ -> Dubai -> London). Why do I love these? Comfort, ears don't overheat and they are light to wear. The battery life is solid and as long as I can charge them before a flight, I'm sorted. The noise-cancelling is more than sufficient. The case is great and I attach a columbina to it so I can clip it on the back of my plane seat. I know, this isn't premium audiophile but I freaking love these cans. Tried the Sony's (too much bass!). Tried the Dyons. Tried the others. Still come back to these for comfort.
