I seriously considered the Bose headsets. In fact at OSH
this year I did a side by side comparison of the Bose, Lightspeeds,
and I think the Flight Coms. The vendor I purchased them from (Gulf Coast
Avionics) had all ANR headsets on a rack and had a plug in where they had a
noise generator.

I found that the Bose and Lightspeeds 30-3Gs were pretty close in sound and
fit for my liking. The Bose were lighter and did not have the cell phone
interface or the MPS/CD player interface as did the LightSpeeds. I wanted the
cell phone interface so I could have the ability to call from on the ground.
The Bose did not offer such capability, and I couldn't justify the cost. Also,
the Lightspeeds were discounted by about 5% so I went with the Lightspeeds.

I have had a few problems with my Lightspeeds since purchased new, which kind
of bothers me, but other than that I am completely satisfied with the way the
fit and perform.

FWIW I also have to Bode 10x's in the front. Great product but at One AMU
per, pricey. For your extra $650, you don't have to worry about the battery
but they also have to stay w/ the plane.
