Do they work well? Are they worth the money if you were looking for active noise cancelling, or are good isolating passive in-ear sets just as good/more cost effective?
I've had a pair of the QC-15's for a little under a year. They've gone from something I thought I'd occasionally use traveling to my preferred way of listening to music/watching movies.

They have a demo station at most Best Buys, try them out and then decide if you want to drop the money... Cause they are expensive. More so than I would Spend usually, but I had a gift card to blow that made them more reasonable as far as money out of my pocket.
