Seems like Audio Technica got lots of good reviews on Amazon, while Bose Q.C famed for it's crappy durability. Audio Technica is even $100 less than boss, but how about it's sound quality and comfort?
Beats by Dr. Dre Official Site
Go to best buy, most of their stores have a demo booth set up for Beats.

Ive got a few pairs of the Able Planet noise canceling headphones ( around $110) and they are as good as any other higher priced ones i have tried
Enough said, the Beats by Dre are topnotch. Go check em out at like Best Buy. They usually have a test pair set up as clashctyrokr said, and there is more then enough noise to give you a good idea how they would perform.
As a pilot, having used Bose noice cancelling headphones, I will say that the technology is unbelievable, and the low clamp on the headset, combined with the noise cancelling technology, make for a headset you don't mind wearing for hours upon hours.

It makes me giggle when I see a person walking around with the $20 bose crap that they paid $200 for and think they look awesome.
KOSS?
Bose may be overpriced but if you can't hear a disparity between those 2 brands in frequency response then godbless your ears, godbless everyone of them.
Say what you will, but I have tried the Bose and love them. They are amazing. We gave our sales agents eee-pc's and they are supposed to record a video affirmation of the client before they leave the house. The affirmation is just a reiteration of the product they are purchasing and they affirm they actually want the product. Well somehow the audio records all turned out crap. The ONLY THING I could hear them on were a pair of BOSE headphones. Even amplifying through various different amplifiers didn't allow the sound to be heard above a bare whisper. But those Bose you could hear everything plain as day...
Now obviously that has nothing to do with music, but still. They are comfortable, you can't hear shit outside of the head phones and they work great. yes, they are probably over priced, but you are paying for the branding they have built up over the years. After all they have to get a return on their money!
