Ehh - I've had QC20s for 5+ years and The TaoTronics you suggested for 1+ year. I would disagree that they're on par. The QC20s have way better noise cancellation and the frequency response on them (and most Bose products) is more pleasant to my ear as Bose tends to sound better at the lower frequencies. Yes, the QC20s are 5x the cost - but in this case you get what you pay for.
