Any results on people using the Uflymike with the Bose headset. Starting soon on the A330 for EK and thought I'd give that one a try.
I had one and was disappointed, the Bose noise reduction does not match the performance of the Sony products, add to that, when the battery goes flat you hear nothing, add to that the poor mic gain (they said they could make a modification to fix).

The QC2 is very comfortable for short periods, if you want something that is extremely comfortable for long periods and with high quality sound to monitor communications, I can recommend one of the Sony MP-3 ear bud type ANR headsets fitted with an adapter for the aircraft, I use the MDR-NC36NX, no microphone, just for monitoring and using the aircraft hand microphone, when the battery goes down it's still working too.

It uses passive and active noise reduction and works quite well without even turning the unit on, turn on the switch and it sounds like the avionics fans were just switched off, far superior noise cancellation than the Bose headset without the sore head.
