My experience in headsets is that I tested in aircraft, own or have owned a flightcom denali, a senheiser ANR, Lightspeed, telex ANR, david clark, avcom, and marv golden. But the only one I ever wear is the Bose. Yes it is more money, but I think it is well worth it. In fact, I was very disapointed with the Denali which I bought for my wife. I should have just bought another Bose.
