What kind of aircraft are you flying?
Piston/Turboprop = BOSE kicks @ss, I wouldn't wear any other headset.
Jet = BOSE is ok, comfortable but other headsets will cancel out just as much noise if not more (ie DC's). If you want CHEAP comfort and quiet in a jet, use a telex 750 or similar and just plug up your ears with ear plugs. Works great and I've seen used telex 750's on ebay for $50. If you have the $$ to burn though, the BOSE will work fine in a jet. Much better than dropping the money on the ANR Telex series.
