Consumer Review Bose QC 15
As pleased as I was with the sound quality of these headphones, I was disappointed with the cost. I spent about $200 on them, which isn’t that bad for noise cancelling headphones.

2016Review:Chord Electronic MoJo AMP/DAC – The Traveling Digital Audiophile’s Full Monty
We’ll admit to suffering tiny pangs of jealousy whenever a really cool new headphone amp like the Chord Mojo saunters its way across our review desk.
