Look back in tnhis thread for the simple $6.00 solution from another poster (the sweitch is still there, but it is now hidden, and actually inaccessible, since the headphone-end plug is now cemented into the ear phone.) For $6.59 from Radio Shack, I can now travel with a small attenuator plug and enjoy AA's new QC2s giving me background music.

I miss the Hi/Lo switch of the older Bose, but these work and fit better than our Sonys. Unplugging them to just have the NC effect works for sleeping, too. <snip>
