Mike,

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.


I agree. I was quite disappointed when I compared an LS Thirty 3G
directly with the Bose at the Bose sound test station at a trade show. I
expected, well, a 400-$-wow effect. Didn't get it. They were about the
same in ANR quietness. The lower profile of the Bose is neat, no doubt.
However, the passive NR is very low.

In all, for my wallet, they're not 400 $ better than the Lightspeeds.
But each to his own.
