hi! i have been looking for a new pair of over ear headphones recently but would really like some headphone recommendations from people that have used them.
 
now for a little bit of what im looking for. These headphones would be used solely for music listening during commutes and work so I will be wearing them quite often and for long periods of time. Comfort, durability, and sound quality are really the only things that matter to me. I like balanced headphones but prefer headphones with a little bit of extra bass.
 
I have been looking at the bose soundtrues and the quietcomforts and they have really good ratings and reviews but I would like to know if there are any major faults in them from people that have used them.
 
Thanks in advance!!

Budget?
 
What equipment will be powering these cans?  Will you be using an amp?
 
Headphone comfort is a very individual thing.  Sizing and sensitivities are unique to each person.  We can point you to headphones that are generally considered to be comfortable and mention others that have garnered complaints for being uncomfortable.  However, the only way to know for sure is to wear them yourself for a time equivalent to your longest listening session.

under $300. a macbook. no amp
