Re: [IRCA] Noise Cancelling Headphones OT

Patrick, I have used many of them.  The Bose $300 or so are superb (my wife has a pair for flights).  I use the Bose Aviation headphones when I fly (I'm a pilot), but their around $1k.  The cheap ones are just that....help a bit, but mostly aren't worth much.  ....Walt
