If you prefer the older Bose Quiet Comfort 15 active noise cancelling headphones, you can get them in “Used – Excellent” condition for $124 plus $7+ shipping at adorama.com. One reason why this particular listing is priced lower is because it is missing the cable with the remote/mic, and missing the airline adapter. If you already have those cables or know how to get easily get them, then their loss is your win.
The Shure SE215 m+ special edition earphones are available in “Used – Excellent” condition for $64 plus $3.75+ shipping at authorized dealer adorama.com. Used items sold there come with a 90-day warranty from the seller (Adorama) and they also offer a 30-day return policy.

Of Bluetooth interest, these support LDAC whose prominence will likely increase once Android 8.0 (Oreo? the name will be officially revealed during the Eclipse on Monday by the …luna-tics at Google) arrives, since Sony worked with Google to bake into Android 8. But as usual, it is still an unknown as to how and whether the various manufacturers and individual phones will support both Android 8.0 and LDAC.
