Any good prices on Bose QC25?

Still trying to decide on what to get for flying, tried them while I was out today, along with Momentum On Ear and few others, must say the Bose were super comfy.

Otherwise anyone have any suggestions for anything similar in comfort to the bose? Doesn't need to be NC.

I just look for the most comfortable IEM out there. For me, that's my UM3x. Those are earphones, though, not cans.
 
For closed portable cans I like the B&W P7.

The two other deals beckoning to me now is the Heir 10a (30% off their new flagship) and ACS T1 40% off. Will probably get a new set of Sensaphonic sleeves for my SE846 when their cyber monday sale starts, too.

Who has the ACS T1 at 40% off? I am tempted.. Would be my first CIEM. Thanks.

The IE800s for $500 is a good deal considering that those IEMs compare well with the Shure 846 and AKG K3003, which run around $800-$1000. 

Gone. Anyone purchased? Maybe I should have pulled the trigger. I am looking for a very good IEM under about 350$ which can be driven well by IPOD, which I want to be my final purchase of my music journey. My TF10 was my final purchase but they dont work well now.

  If you could keep one....?

Got the havi b3 pro 1 and the ostry kc06a and the regular kc06. The havi pro 1 are bit hard to drive for an iem, need some tip rolling to get a good seal, bass is alright but some people may prefer more/better impact. The octry kc06 are kinda really similiar sound signature to thew havi b3 pro 1 though they don't really need much tip rolling and bass is kinda the same as the havi, they are very shallow fit and vented so isolation isn't the best. The kc06a is like zach described, bass heavy typical v-shape sound with recessed mids also some not so smooth treble in comparison to the original kc06 imo. The ostry are also a big contrast in terms of sensitivity to the havi b3 pro 1 where the havi are bit hard to drive the ostry and ridiculously easy to drive to the point where they may be too sensitive on my o2. Different strokes for different folks but I would prefer to have the havi over the ostry for most music if I had something to drive them well. Then the kc06 as they are the havi lite, then the kc06a for like edn/hip hop/bassy music personally.

I only own the KC06A out of the ones he mentioned, and I found them to be quite fatiguing to listen to. It has a tendency to sound harsh when listening to treble-centric songs. The K60A is simply incapable of keeping in pace with these recordings. There are IEMs in the same price range that's smoother and easier to listen to, albeit with less detail.

I just jumped on the Geek Pulse Black Friday sale (ends Cyber-Monday).  
The Black Friday price was too good to pass up for me ($379).
 
Can't wait for ES9018M DAC + 3000mW Headphone-Amp goodness.

I'm sure the Pulse will be really nice gear...I've been involved in the offers there, should eventually get the Soul Tube, but I wouldn't mind a desktop amp line the Pulse as well. Hoping they may repeat the Pulse/Hifiman HF400i deal, though I think that's wishful thinking.
