[QUOTE="Jes, post: 471986, member: 13949"] According to Klipsch the status has replaced the m40. The status are quite good at isolating noise but in direct comparison to the Bose quiet comfort 15 you can see the role of active noise cancellation. The status sound better than the Bose but will never replace the Bose for plane rides. They clean all the drone and white noise on flights that allow you to get the best sleep. So if you intend using them for that purpose then I suppose the m40 makes great sense. Not sure how good the cancellation is though as I said I've read mixed reviews. Nice thing of the m40 is that you can use it as a passive pair without the cancellation which the Bose don't allow. Just confirm that though. If that isn't a big role for you then I think save the few hundred and get the status. Still think that noise cancellation has to affect the basic sound of the phones. In terms of sound quality with decent amplification the status just gets better as expected. Better focus and instrument separation. More tonally balanced - they lean slightly towards bass driven directly off my fiio but the bass tightens beautifully with an amp. Will run them through the night for the next couple and see if there is any settling in. [/QUOTE]
