I was wondering the same thing - you get some dampening of the noise of a baby because of the padding. But the software just isn't set up to deal with sudden and variable noises. Also being over 6' I cannot fit into the bed lying on my back. So sleeping with them on just isn't an option. There is also the problem that for som people (about 30% I believe) they cause ear discomfort. I find this comes on after 3 or 4 hours or so.
I love my Bose QCs, but they do have their limits.
