I know that here in Wisconsin, Bose has an outlet store in a nearby
mall. I assume you could try on a pair although I have not done so.

I appreciate all the replies.
I learned a couple of things:
1. Noise-cancelling technology is not cheap, and
2. It's probably best that I actually "audition" (I think that's what
someone called it) the headphones.
I really do not need anything that will accept a mic. I am about 90%
CW, 7% data, and 3% voice. For the little that I am on voice, I have
the MH2 mic.
Most folks that responded recommended the Bose Quiet Comfort 15's.
In reference to number 1 above, I really had no idea noise-cancelling
headphones would be so expensive, but you get what you pay for. A
review site I found was www.head-fi.org. The Bose QC15 were rated #3
and followed the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro (#1 and not sure if they're
noise cancelling or sound blocking) and the PSB M4U 2 (#2). However,
like eHam.net, it's all subjective - folks either like the headphones
or don't and there's no analytical data to back up their findings.

I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6's that I love, but they do not have
noise cancelling capability and my wife's embroidery machine is
severely limiting my radio operations.
I have already looked at the Yamaha CM500's because they come so
highly recommended on this group. If they're noise cancelling, I
cannot find that information about them.
I want something that will last. The MDR-V6's have lasted at least 10
years if not longer. I've only had to replace the earpads.
I want something that *covers* my ear *not* something that sits *on*
my ear. Those that sit *on* my ears are uncomfortable after a very
short while.
Merry Christmas and 73,
