I bought these several years ago for a noisy work environment. I have tried ear bud style headphones in the past, but no matter how expensive or high quality, buds always make my ears hurt. I then used Bose Triports for a few years, but they didn't help in a noisy office. Enter the Bose...

I use these with a UFlyMic when I fly noisy jet aircraft. The noise cancelation is a HUGE factor in reducing fatigue from all the noise in the cockpit. When I'm riding in the back of an airplane on the way to my next assignment, these are a treat for listening to music. When I get home from work,...
