I wanted noise cancelling headphones, so limited my search to those with such capability. 2nd "must have" was they be comfortable for extended wear (4-6 hrs.). Audio fidelity, while important, was not deemed as significant as these phones were being purchased to primarily: 1) listen to compressed MP3 files and 2) participate in extended global phone & WebEx conferences calls. All the phones trialed at Best Buy had great noise cancelling performance. All the phones trialed had capability for phone conversations, volume control, etc. Only the Bose Quite Comfort 25's were as comfortable after 15 minutes wearing as the moment they were first put on. I found myself constantly adjusting & tweaking the fit of all the other headphones every 2 - 3 minutes trying to improve fit & comfort. Headphone comfort is undoubtedly unique to each individuals physiology, but for me the Bose far and away surpassed the others. I have had the Bose headphones now for a couple of months now and are very pleased with them -- Delighted actually.
