I'm in your boat and found that Bose are great and I am more about price than shiny so the last 2 pairs of noise canceling headphones I bought were off eBay.
I did the QC20's which were the earbuds, Nice but I didn't use them as much around the house and more just for flights only. Then I sold those and got the last model before, the QC15 around the ear and really like them. They have wires and take a AAA battery but for $70 when other comparable ones were $200+ I'll take it.
