Fools rush in where angels fear to tread (to coin a phrase). Nevertheless, are you guys sure you are all talking about the same things - namely noise-canceling (NC) headphones? Sometimes it doesn't sound like you are. I've never tried a pair of any NC phones, but I also hear alarm bells when I read categorical, across the board condemnations of serious mfrs like Bose. Sounds like some of you should have joined in the suit by Bose against Consumer reports - which it won. Aside from their well-known biases against certain manufacturers, the main thing I have against CR is that the more I know about a particular product, the less I agree with them. Anyway, I would expect that Bose would make a phone that cancels noise very well. In fact they now make two different models of NC phones. I would not expect either of them to be "super-fi" judged solely as a headphone. The greatest headphones in the world, in my estimation, are the STAX Clasic Models, but as for NC, they rate zero.zero zero zero zilch.

In todays market the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 is a better choice and can be purchased for half the price of the Bose. It is also a noise cancellation headphone.
