Headphones question

[juef]

Hey all!

So I can't stand in-ear stuff anymore, so I'm now looking into buying a pair of headphones. I thought you guys must have some experience to share! Basically, I'm wondering whether I should buy the Bose QC-15 or the Direct Sound Ex-29.

Things to consider:

• I don't care much for the speakers' quality. The better it blocks outside sounds, the happier I am.
• I don't mind the price; whatever it is, it's gonna be worth it to me.
• A coworker made me try his QC-15 and I was blown away; however I only tried them in a rather quiet environment. I will most likely use them for practice sessions and other places where the sound is LOUD.
• Paul friggin' Gilbert uses EX-29. I mean, that ought to mean somethin', right?! Plus, they never stop playing music, as opposed to the QC-15 when the battery dies.

Thoughts? Thanks a bunch!

I'd avoid the bose because of the 'noise cancelling'

i dont like the way noise cancelling works and think the only thing a pair of head phones should do is put sound in my ears- not take sound around me put it out of phase and then into my headphones along with the music.

Sennheiser HD 380 isolates even more than EX-29. Check them out.
They sound really good too!

Go with the Sens . . . much better sound quality . . . . Bose is the only way to to go on airplanes . . . but way to expensive for your intended use.

Like . . . . 2011 world tour . . . . GOOOO Steve !!!!
