This is highly ironic that you started this thread today! I literally just bought my first pair of QC15s yesterday and I love them! I am listening to my entire playlist now as we speak (currently working on my 53 songs and 5 albums worth of amazing Paramore songs and it has never sounded so good), albeit I won't finish for a couple of weeks!
I have wanted noise canceling headphones for a while, so take it from someone who has tried them all, the Bose are indeed the best noise cancelers. However, if you want amazing sound quality in a pair of noise canceling headphones, try the PSB M4U 2s, they sound fantastic but are another 100 bucks. The cancelation is inferior to the Bose, but it makes up with its ability to play without using battery power and sound quality.
If you are worried about how you look (which is pretty sad IMHO) then the PSBs are slightly better, however, Bose has a special edition brown and slate model which I think is repulsive, but maybe you'll like them. And I wouldn't even waste your time with Beats. Though they may look nice, you aren't going to be as satisfied with them when using them, after all you can't see em' while you are wearing them, so I say screw Beats.
In the end I chose the Bose because, although I use them a lot at home, I use them at school too, and I didn't want to hear anything so I could focus on my work. I listen to a lot of Rock, Alt, and Pop and the Bose do a great job with all of them, I simply change the equalizer quickly if I know I'm going to be with a certain genre for a while (otherwise they generally sound best on the Rock eq if you have an Apple product). Gotta ask yourself where you'd be using them the most, and make your decision based on that. If there is always bg noise where you listen, no amount of money could get you better headphones then the QC15s...
