anr
I have the flightcomm anr, and quite like it....but didn't have much to compare to.
now I've used the Lightspeed QFR X-cty. the super fat extra headband cushion is comfy, but won't fit under the canopy, so off it came! The zipper left a big scratch the first time I bumped my head on the roof!
audio seems about the same, passive may be a bit better with the lightspeed, but not as good at the low frequ. it would seem ( still hear the exhaust pulses), but no prop.
On either, gel ear seals are a must, not an option. If you don't like how they stick to your face on a a hot day, then call me crazy, but I'd try a cloth cover...the fit and seal are so superior with the gel....especially over sunglass earpieces.
I really think I would try to go flying with some of each brand, and THEN decide if you really want a $249 QFR or need a $900 Bose.
Frankly, if the sound and comfort is similar, I know I'd rather drop the cheaper one
,!!! bonus; use the other $600 for something else.
