Both my flying partner and I are having intermittent problems with our Bose X headsets (new in 2007). The noise canceling feature seems to cut out in flight for a few seconds. It does this very intermittently. We are convinced that the problem is with the headsets and not the aircrafts. We both have RV-8s with similar avionics (Garmin 430, 340, and 327). While at OSH last year, we went to the Bose booth and explained the problem to their tech. They ended up replacing the cable that comes from the headset and goes to the small case that houses the controls and batteries. We thought this would take care of the problem but it happened again on the flight home. We contacted Bose again, this time the tech sent us new ear seals. Still no change. My partner has sent his to Bose twice with no fix. They finally sent him a new headset. He flew with it for a few hours with no problems. Yesterday we flew up to Bakersfield for breakfast and on the way home we both encountered the same problem again. We both have a pair of lightspeeds and have never experienced this problem with them. We contacted Bose again yesterday but their techs were gone for the day. We don?t know what else to do. Bose have been very helpful and I believe they want to resolve our problem. Is anybody else encountering this problem?
