You can get a pair of factory-refurbished Bose QC-15s for a reasonable price online. Worth their weight in gold, absolutely. I take them on every flight and I can get peace and quiet even with the inevitable squalling brats all around me.
I've also got the RS60CF and wouldn't dream of replacing it, but for travel and using my K3 away from my shack, the QC-15s are the BEST. - pjd -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Grant Youngman Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2018 5:03 PM To: k...@arrl.net Cc: Elecraft Discussion List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones Bose is pretty well the leader in electronic noise cancellation. But they are also expensive (even more than Sony). Worth their weight in GOLD on an airplane. (I still use my ancient original model 1.0 Bose when I fly — yes they’re clunky compared to the latest, and I had to replace the ear pads a couple years ago, but they WORK), and I don’t have to spend another $300-350. Radio?? Maybe .. it’s another battery to worry about if you’re portable, especially. You can always spend $1000 for a Bose aviation headset/mic :-) My main radio headset is an RS60CF .. and that isn’t cheap either, but it doesn’t require a battery … Grant NQ5T > On Aug 2, 2018, at 4:46 PM, Dave Sublette <k4to.dave@gmail .com> wrote: > > So here I am with three hours to wait until my plane boards.
