Tried my Bose noise cancelling ('jet') headset in a light single once and to be honest they weren't great. Might be better with cup-type ear pieces but I'd say stick with a 'full' headset with some decent gel ear cushions which mould around the sunglass arm rather than press it into the head. I always found the most painful point was just behind the ear where the plastic end sat.
Swopped to a pair with a light plastic frame and lenses with straight arms and that made a big difference.
