Bloke can't even make a dishonest living here anymore. Obviously the sarcasm was lost on you CMN. Still, if you think I'd be making $255, makes the one I just bought a bargain......
Dunno about that CC, don't get too many audio warnings in the chieftain.....

G'day Chimbu,
Mine didn't cancel any warnings in the Quadrapuff, but was beautifully quiet. I still use if in the Steroidal 9 but without the ENC.
Brought mine from Bose in SYD.

I dont see myself buying one for along time anyway, whats the point in spending all that money when im lucky enough to get the radio to work on a good day!

Mate, I used to think that too. Now that I'm in GA probably forever, I wish I had've got one long ago. Your hearing is worth it, not to mention the clearer radio and less missed calls. Seriously.

many threads on this very topic.
I've tried the Senheiser HMEC25 in the aircraft (Bae146) but preferred the Bose. I found the speaker design of the Senheiser uncomfortable as I prefer the whole ear to be encompased, a la DCs etc.
The Senheiser HMEC40 and/or 30 somthing I found far too heavy.
From a set of AA batteries in the Bose I was getting 100ish hours of excellent ENC listening. Individually adjustable ear volume, light (not as light as the HMEC25) & comfortable.

I personally prefer HMEC 25 to Bose X. I trialled both and settled on HMEC 25 partially because it's light, and partially because I found it more comfortable.
Why don't you try them both out?

Do check but I seem to recall that the advertised price of the Bose X is around the $1450 mark these days.
And I enjoy using my Bose X. The batteries seeem to last about 35-40 hours of life and my ears do enjoy the quiet. It is a lightweight, comfortable unit. I clip the control unit to my pants leg with the clip provided.
The only thing that irks me about the X is that for the price the headset bag is not as good as the el cheapos. I now use a bag that has space for the headset but also has compartments for fuel tester, licence and ASIC and maybe spare batteries.
Mr Bose please take note. The carry bag needs to be improved along the lines above.

The ideal solution is you buy a Bose QC2 and buy the mic adaptation from uflymike.com. This is half the price of the Bose X and allows you to wear the headset when paxing without the mic attachment.

Can't speak highly enough of ENC. You can't put a price on your hearing, but the noise fatigue factor is another matter which is not always obvious.
I have an ENC after-market kit on my DC H10-13.4s; the battery was U/S yesterday, and after a 7.3 hour flight I was absolutely knackered. I do that flight once a week and while tiring, I've never encountered fatigue like it afterwards.
I would love to buy a Bose X if I get a tax refund this year, but this thread is the first I've heard of the Sennheiser, so I'd like to learn more of that. Dogslay, your suggestion is tantalising too, anyone else used uflymike and the QC2's? It's a brilliant idea, just wonder if it's rugged enough for the aviation environment. And how does the passive noise cancellation compare with the X's, because that's half the battle.

Ive got the Dc H10-13.4x, very quiet and rugged.
I have heard others say the ENC, because the way it works, ie equalizing/cancelling the sound with another opposite sound wave, is actually worse for your ears. Any truth to that?
