I just recently bought the Bose II Headphone given all the rave reviews that I saw on this forum.. I also have the Sony NC Noise cancelling headset..
I tested both on the airplane, and I must say the Sony NC was just as good as the Bose II headphone in reducing noise.
In fact, if I had known, I would not have bought the Bose II because:
(1) A lot more expensive
(2) Pain inthe butt to carry around.. Even in the case, it is way too bulky compared to the Sony small portable size.
(3) Unfashionably big around the ears...
Given all of the above, I dont think I will be carrying the Bose around when I travel..and am considering selling it..
Now, how do I get earbud replacements for my Sony NC?
