Jon,

My main complaint with the Bose is the price. Everytime I see the ad I
feel like I need to put on a chastity belt to protect my bung hole.

I've compared them to my Lightspeed 30-3G's and they are the same in noise
reduction, but the Bose are far superior in comfort and size.

I own a pair of the Lightspeed 20-3G headsets which have been back to the
factory around 5 times since I bought them. When they work they do a good
job of noise reduction and are reasonably comfortable. Because of all the
problems I've had with them I decided this year to relagate them to the back
seat. At Sun n Fun I went shopping for a replacement set. My first stop was
the Bose tent. I tried on the headset and sat through the sales pitch. I had
planned on purchasing the Bose when I went there but decided to try some
others before I laid down my AMU's. After trying a number of different
headsets I found that for me the Bose headsets did not have any better noise
reduction or sound quality. I also did not find them to be as comfortable as
the Senheiser headsets I wound up purchasing for half the price. I've been
using the Senheisers since SNF and man am I glad I bought them. The passive
reduction is much better than the Lightspeeds and the ANR works great. I
haven't flown with the Bose so I can't compare them but I can't imagine they
could be worth double the money.
