I've talked to several pilots who used the Bose X and every one of them said they had to keep one ear cup off or they couldn't hear the other guy. In fact I saw two different guys use the X when jumpseating and sure enough they both kept the right cup off (both were FOs and first ride was in a B757 and the second in a 747 classic). Sort of defeats the whole purpose of protecting your hearing if you have to take the cup of...

When I still used my QC2 Uflymike combo I could keep both ear cups on and heard the other guy just fine. I never heard any complaints about any extra noise generated by my headset either but it looks like you had a different experience...
