I finally dropped the cash on the Lightspeed Zulu's after my cheapie finally broke. I've worn Bose headsets before and they are incredible, but the Zulu's match the performance and the reason I bought them is that the Zulu's have more to offer for slightly less. You can plug in your sat phone, ipod, etc or even bluetooth them. The sound quality is outstanding; if you need a demonstration, just bring your ipod and plug in and try them out. You'll be sold.
