I have the ANR denali, it is alright but I like the Bose better. Then again you could get a couple denalis for the price of the bose. I also liked a david clark set that wasn't ANR better than my ANR denali set. Overall it is good, especially if you liked the non ANR denali. I feel like it's passive noise reduction isn't as solid as say the david clarks and after a couple hours the denali has gotten a little uncomfortable at times, but I would buy them again. I got these after trying the Lightspeed 20somethings and sending them back and liked the denalis a lot more. For $499 I think it is a pretty good buy.
