Hi All,
 
I'm looking to buy a pair of NC headphones as I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling over the next year. Any thoughts on the QC15 vs QC20i vs QC25? Price isn't that much of a factor although there is a bit of a difference in what I'd have to pay new on ebay (QC15 ~$175, QC20i ~$200, QC25 ~$250). I'd probably use these mostly when flying as I don't think NC is necessary day to day and my iphone headphones work fine. Would mainly be using to watch TV/movies with some music/podcasts as well. Thanks for the help!

from all the reviews i have seen the qc25s seem to have the highest review and they are the newest set. I would recommend getting the qc25 if price is no issue otherwise buy a used or unopened new pair of qc15 from ebay, that way you can save a good bit of money and still get an excellent bose set (the qc15s were their best until the 25s came out just recently iirc)

Appreciate the reply. Is it worth buying from an authorized retailer for $300 vs ebay for $250? Only concern with ebay is potential for fakes and I'm not sure if the warranty still applies if not purchased from an authorized retailer.

yeah i feel the same way, if im buying something expensive i rather not go to ebay because of so many fakes out there.
