Bose QuietComfort 15 noise cancelling headphones
The over-ear Bose with battery-powered noise cancelling that frequent flyers swore by. They still sell for travel, but the ear pads and headband padding are usually flaking by now, so expect buyers to ask about replacements and the carry case.
Estimated resale range (used)
$40 – $80
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Check the ear cushions and headband for peeling leatherette, since replacements cost real money and buyers factor that into what they will pay
- Fit a fresh AAA battery and listen in both ears for the noise-cancelling hiss or a dead side
- Confirm the detachable cable, carry case and airline adapter are included, as the complete set brings more
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
