Are there any headphones out there with a built-in amplifier that will amplify the audio volume? I have a pair that I thought did that, but the volume control rocker was simply controlling the volume on my device (Nexus 6), not actually amplifying.
What Bose headphones do you have? The earlier models (at least the QC-2s did) have an attenuator switch in the headphone-end plug to accommodate different line levels. If you have those, you may want to try flipping that switch.
I've never been on a flight where my QC-2s haven't been up to the task.
