There's two pair of them hanging in a J-3 Cub I fly often. They're glorious - wind through your hair.. no hot, sweaty clamps on your head while blocking a great deal of noise out. I love 'em, almost as much as my Lightspeeds.

My bose hasn't seen service in years.

As for the earpieces, if your dishwasher has a closing basket in the silverware tray... give that a shot. You heard it here :-D
