With Amazon’s sales and monthly plans, I can finally afford a higher end pair. Specifically I am looking at:

The Bose QCII headphones

Versus the Sony XM3 headphones

Does anyone have experience with these? I would like to decide by tomorrow. Sound quality is most important, with comfort second and noise cancellation and others last. Thanks
