The on ear seem to be the same price as the bose, the only reservation I had was that you can't turn the noise cancelling off can you? I wondered whether the might become fatiguing over time?

No, the noise cancelling stays on. It's much less noticeable than some earlier models, although most of these headphones with noise cancelling are tuned for it to be turned on and don't sound as good with it off.
If noise cancelling isn't a requirement, the Bose soundlink are probably worth a listen at a hundred quid cheaper.

Spent a while listening to the Momentum 2 On-Ear wireless last night. They're very good. I haven't spent as long listening to the two Bose options (Soundlink on-ear and QC35) but I'd say they're better than both of them in terms of sound quality.
The Bose QC35 may be better at noise cancelling/isolation. Hard to tell as I tried those in a shop whereas the Sennheiser have been street/tube but did seem to cut the outside out a bit better. The Sennheiser's seem perfectly fine though and with the clarity of the sound you can still hear fine even with a bit of background hum.
If cost isn't an issue then I'd recommend them. They are expensive, although if you look at my tale of Sennheiser's customer service on the previous page then it could well be a worthwhile investment. I wouldn't have bought these myself if I hadn't received them from Sennheiser as a replacement.
At a lower price range I did like the Plantronics Backbeat sense. Sound quality was good and they had some nice features. However, and it may have just been the fit for me, I just couldn't get over the booming noise as I walked around in them. For just office/home use they'd be good.
