Due to this accumulated aggravation, I am very close to selling them both
on eBay and purchasing a new Bose headset.

Someone in our office is about to return his Bose for a repair because
of low battery life. It seems like nothing is perfect.

My 20 3G has been in twice.

Now, I have a 30 3G with a new battery box and the new design seems
far more secure (2 days - stay tuned). It will be some time before I
can say it resolves my issues but I'm optimistic. After the 1K Bose,
the Lightspeed are the next most comfortable. I was supposed to have
some Sennheiser's to try out but haven't seen them and it's been so
long, I doubt I will. Of the headsets we sell with new aircraft Flight
Com Denali's are the hottest with Flight Com ANR Classics next. We
have recommended not ordering the Lightspeeds until mine work But,
it's all over the place for our own use. One person uses Peltor non
ANR's, one uses DC 13.4's, I use ANR Classics or the Lightspeed
(preferring lightspeed when they are in town) and the other person
uses Bose X and Denali's (with a high preference to the BOse).

The only good advice you'll get is go to a store with many brands, try
them on, verify the return policy and go fly them.
