I am new to this forum and would like your guys opinion on something.
(Yes I already know your opinion on Bose)
 
I am looking for a pair of every day all around over ear listening headphones.
 
I was given a old pair of Bose QC2's from my friend. They are now heavily used and I need a new pair. (They were my main pair for a while.)
 
I have a budget of about $150.
 
The general consensus of the internet is that I should go for the ATH-M50's.
(I borrowed a pair of these from a friend and liked them too, but couldn't distinguish a huge difference in audio quality from the QC2's)
 
However I called Bose and they have an upgrade program where I can trade in my QC2's for QC15's. For only $150. (Which parts of the internet also says are great)
 
(Quiet Comfort 15's Retail for $300 Normally)
 
So my question is should I get the ATH-M50's Or the QC15's? They cost the same to me.Or is there a different over ear headphone I should know about?
(Audio Quality is the priority)
 
Thanks for all your help in advance!

The M50 has better SQ overall
also, it doesn't apply pressure to your ear drum (the QC does).
