i got the Creative for $300, and the Bose one is $400... But when you travel 125K-200K miles a year, its really worth it

???
? im guessing you didnt understand the "bleeding out noise"... basicallyt if you have those earphones on, and are listening at 75%max volume, everyone around you or in your office can hear the music. so it defeats the whol epurpose of headphones

no offence but i want a tried and tested specific model of earphones, not just some company name.there are specifics things you'd notice only if you have used them for a bit for example :battery life, does it fit good, any shakes or vibration,does it leak noise, does it get too heavy on long flights etc...

so do you have a specific model #?

OMG, Did one of you actually mention Creative ? (as in Creative Labs? makers of Sound Blaster?) - Garbage, Bose - over priced garbage... you want realy professional grade cans, go with Sennheiser or Grado!

also if you're going to get good high end ones like I just mentioned, get a headphone amp as well.

If that's all you're restricted too, go with either the Sony's - MDR-NC60 or with the Bose QC2 which are ten times better then the crappy and smaller QC3. Personally though if you're spending over $200 I would just go with the logical professional choice: Sennheiser or Grado
