Several pilots on the
Cirrus forum have admitted to using earplugs with their Bose headsets for just that reason. They don't clamp hard enough to block out the white noise that is at too high a frequency for ANR to attenuate, so earplugs are used to provide that effect, and the volume has to be turned up to compensate. As Bose don't publish any performance figures for any of their kit, who knows if this Heath Robinson solution is necessary? The easy answer is that, at that price, they must be good!
