Shopping for active noise cancellation as a feature made comparisons difficult. It's a value-added feature that doesn't directly translate to SQ from the cans themselves, and people don't often compare SQ between ANC and non-ANC headphones. Despite how much I dislike them as a speaker company, I admit that I gave Bose a much longer look than expected with a used pair of QuietComfort 35 II's.

Hi all. Thanks to @UltraMegafor the link to here. It's funny, I've been part of the old site for nearly a decade, but I didn't participate regularly because I either wasn't following industry news or upgrading my machine. Now that I'm beginning to focus on these things again, I was spending more time on the old site posting in that damn "We Are Live" thread than actually following the hardware. You know it's bad when you can't even go on a forum to find the content you want, and instead spend more time exasperated at how the new direction of the forum violates every principle you've learned and absorbed professionally. I'm glad to see a lot of familiar usernames here, even if we haven't had direct exchanges before. I was never super active on the old site, but the familiarity helps set my expectations of this community and the level of discussion I hope to see continue here.
