You cannot beat the Bose for comfort and sound Patrick, though I prefer the OE2 version myself. I have teacher's HF roll-off I fear, and my hearing is not as acute as it used to be. Look also though for the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 -- NOT the 7B's. Guy Atkins wrote about these and I found a pair in as new condition on eBay for about $100. Switching on the NC really punches the audio and the effect is major for me. Later versions are well-received but this particular model really is special. Not quite as comfortable but great for DX are the Sennheisser PXC-250's. I had to equip the whole family for a trip to NZ via the Long Path (Hong Kong) 3 years ago....

They get a rating of 4.8 ot of 5. Bose is highly rated I know. $300 is better than putting up with a racket. It is the old story, you get what you pay for.
