There is absolutely no excuse for running out of battery whilst airborne!
Mixture.

Is a load of rubbish. (to put it politely).
I assume you did'nt read the post before you stated this.

The Bose is different to most other brands. As stated, the battery warning flashes amber for 8 HOURS before it goes flat. The last 2 HOURS it flashes RED.

I will repeat my posting -

(With a Bose).....There is absolutely no excuse for running out of battery whilst airborne.

In several hundred hours I have never had an ANR failure in a Bose headset. By watching the warning light as you turn it on you can decide when to change the battery with total accuracy.

If this facility is not installed on the other brands available, I agree that ANR failure is probably inevitable at some point due to a flat battery.

(And yes, I know there were some faulty Bose where the warning did'nt work, but this was a fault, not a design feature)
