Here’s the unboxing of Leica’s new X1. Towards the end of the video you’ll see some of the optional item that were purchased to go along with the X1. The option items are the Leica Leather case and the Leica Wrist carrying strap.

We just picked up a pair of Bose QC15 noise cancelling headphones for our winter holiday travels.  It’s too early to go into detail about the sound quality and comfort, but I could immediately tell the noise cancelling function is much, much better than the QC2’s.  That says a lot, because the QC2s already had excellent noise cancelling abilities.  Listening to them back-to-back, it was clear that Bose has improved their noise cancelling technology.  I already have a feeling we’ll be selling our QC2s.

After a couple weeks of wear I’ll feel more comfortable about writing up a full review.  For now though, here are a few photos to enjoy.

The carries has been slightly refined, but is still the same demensions as the QC2 case.

Taking a look inside you'll see the headphones, a few accessories, and of course the Courtesy Card to pass on to potential customers.

Side by side there is very little difference in the QC2s or the QC15s.  One subtle differnce is that the QC15 case unzipps from the bottom instead of the left side.

Why have unboxing events become popular on tech sites?  I’m not exactly sure, but I will take a guess.  All of us like to get something new, we like the process of shopping endless review sites and finding the best deal whether it be online or at a traditional brick and mortar store.

When you get home maybe you clear off the table and slowly unpack your new purchase savoring the new smell and the freshness of virgin, untouched tech.  OK, maybe I went too far.  Regardless of your reason for reading/watching unboxing videos or photos, here is yet another one to enjoy.  It must be some kind of vicarious experience peaking over the shoulder of someone opening a new toy.
