Bose active headsets

I've tried the Bose, and liked them. However, I currently use a DC 13.4
with the Oregon Aero "hushkit". This consists of isolating the earcup
speakers from the headset with foam, applying a lambswool head pad, and
a "mic-muff" to the microphone. The end result, in my opinion, sounds
better, blocks engine noise better, doesn't require batteries ( a HUGE
plus in my book), and is as comfortable, if not more so, than any other
headset I've ever used. YMMV.

If you ACTUALLY own one...

Would you buy it again?

I'm currently wearing a DC 13.44S, and it gets uncomfortable after
about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. I just opened the recent Bose mailing, and I'm
interested. Bose has a 30 day money back guarantee. I value my
hearing, and my plane is relatively loud.

I would probably demote my DC set to a passenger set upon purchasing
the Bose.

Thanks!

by the way, with all this discussion about Bose headsets, and
their no interest payment thing and how great they are, and their
30 days money back and all that, I had a peek at their web site
where they mention 'Factory Stores'; if I understand correctly it
is possible to buy Bose refurbished headsets. Has anyone bought
some of those? how much cheaper are they? is it worth it?
