When I bought mine (year and a half ago) I almost sent them back. I
thought my Lightspeed 30-3g's were quieter and as comfortable. The low
profile was what made me keep and give them a fair chance. Now, if they
broke, I'd replace them with Bose for several reasons:

1. They are small for a headset.
2. The level of quietness for a 50 something person that parked too
many DC 8's and Lears with no ear protection is excellent.
3. Customer service. I took them to Bose a Sun N Fun for the higher
tension spring which keeps the volume tabs from moving so freely. They
found several problems while they were there and fixed them at no
charge. To be fair, Lightspeed did the same on my 3g's.

I don't think you will regret your purchase.

I just broke down and ordered a Bose Aviation Headset X. I have been
wanting one for several years but 1 AMU is a lot of cash for a
headset... Then I remembered how deaf I am becomming adnd thought that
this would be the best protection for my non-renewable hearing.

I already have a set of David Clarks H20 10XL's and they work great so
if the Bose work better than I'll be tickled pink.

How many of you good folks fly with the Bose or have used them and give
me a PIREP. Thanks!!
