I really love my Bose AE2s -- as far as I can tell, they're QC15-esque minus the active noise canceling, and they sound quite excellent. Main reason I bought them though was comfort. It seems that there are very few pairs of headphones that don't make my ears ache after a few minutes. The AE2s are the only headphones I've ever used that feel perfect on my ears. (Granted, I haven't tried on many $100+ pair...)
