I also really like the bose qc15 headphones and had been considering one of the add on microphones that are available, like
Expensive one http://uflymike.com Or http://www.headsetbuddy.com/clearmic-noise-canceling-microphone-for-bose-qc15-headphones/ Or more generic http://www.modmic.com Or DIY http://www.freewebs.com/k1dg/boseheadphonemod.htm The qc15 comes with a mic as well but not a boom style, just on the cord like for iPhones. The qc15 was more comfortable for me in a 32 hour single op rtty contest than my other choices. The noise canceling does not have the hiss or the distortion of rtty side tone and noise like the cheaper noise canceling 'phones do. I have decided for my limited ssb operation I think my cm500 or heil proset will do just fine. (Well at least for now) Mark.
