best noise cancelling headphones

kraker

basically my bose qc 25 broke and i am up to my 4th replacement from them, they all seem to have the same problem, I'm getting a bit fed up.

 

I'm looking at purchasing new headphones : bose qc35 (I have some reservations quite obviously

                                                                       sennheiser momentums 

                                                                       sony mdr 1000x

just want to know 1. is there any other headphones worth looking at 

                            2. which would have the best overall quality

ask for a refund instead of  a replacement or a better product. look for active noise cancellation. Or Look for closed back headphones with swap able ear pads to get real thick leather pads. what is ur price range

I usually go to bose for Active noise cancellation headphones, and own a QC25 myself.

You've gotten pretty unlucky with your QC25, Bose products usually last me a good while, like my first bose headphones, the Triport OEs from 2007 are still working fine.

I went to bestbuy today to check if any switch was in stock and i tried some of the headphones they had on display, the Bose destroyed every other brand in terms of comfort.

 

Just wanted to point that out because this factor leans me towards Bose even if they lose out on the sound department by a small margin to Sennheiser. Man were they comfortable. If i knew this a year ago when i bought my current headphone, i would have ate peanuts for a month just to save up for the 35.
