i just bought bose Q35. though audio quality is avergae but noise cancellation is awesome. it is pretty steep price(349$) but it is worth increase in productivity for me as there is no other solution available in market better than this( i tried sony and momentum before but it doesnt fit my needs well)

I second the QC-35. It's the most advanced headphone I've ever used -- maintains a list of paired devices and connects with whichever one is nearby and emitting audio. It talks to you and tells you which devices are currently connected (can turn that off using a phone app).

The noise cancellation is excellent, the audio quality is acceptable to me (perhaps audiophiles are more finicky) and it also works nicely as a wireless bluetooth headset for phone calls. It's replaced my audio 'phones and my phone headset, and I'm getting a bluetooth transmitter for my digital piano so I can practice the piano wirelessly :)

Most of the time I don't play any audio through my Bose 'phones but use them simply as a silencer during the working day; I can't really concentrate with music playing. It's a premium priced product, but well supported and seems to be good quality construction and top engineering. The design is over-the-ear and the ear cushions are very soft and luxurious.

They're rechargeable and last at least all day on a charge. This turned into a mini-review but that merely reflects my enthusiasm at having found a good silencing headset at last :)

Just curious, how high do you keep the active noise canceling set to when working? I've found < 40% actually makes it harder to focus and the highest range 75–100% is where I usually keep them when I need to concentrate.
