I'll pick Bose, but I'm biased.

I am inclined towards Bose too... but their build quality is really terrible.

I have an on ear headphone but the padding on the headset turned mouldy and flaky.....

Also it works only with battery.

The Senny on the other hand can be wireless (bluetooth), used with cord, paired with multiple sources. but the noise cancellation and sound quality is not as good.......

Just an update and close on this topic.

Last week, I went to atlas and tried out the QC15. Then proceeded to marina square to test out the bluetooth Senny.

Wow... the bluetooth Sennheiser really cannot make it. The noise cancellation was mediocre. there was a * howling sound when I step out of the shop into the open.

I have heard rave reviews on the Sennheiser but this particular model seems like a bad make.

Ended up buying the Bose QC15.

Tried it out in the office.

3 persons were around me talking their conf call. I put the headset on, turn on the noise cancellatioon and they were like 10 meters away.... Awesome !!!!!
