I purchased a set of Bose noise canceling ear buds QC20i The i is for
IPhone. They list for app. $300 but I found a set new on E-Bay for $220. I
purchased them primarily for better noise canceling on long commercial air
flights.
For grins I tried them under my Sigtronics headphones that I had installed
the Headphones noise canceling kit and went flying in my VW powered Kolb
MKIIIC. I have been using the passive sony ear buds under my headphones for
years but wanted a bit more. The results are impressive. I could still hear
the engine but it was just a purr. That big VW demands to be heard. I
turned the noise canceling off in the headset only and couldn't tell much
difference. Then I turned only the Bose noise canceling off, big difference

The only issue is they have a much lower impedance than the Sonys which makes the radio and side band too loud. I turned the intercom all the way down which helped but need more. I ran out of time but will try the radio volume also. There is a volume control on the Bose units but that only controls the IPhone volume. I'm going to look for a inline volume control that could fit between the intercom out and the Bose if the radio volume doesn't help.
As always worth what you paid for it.

The Bose ear phones plug into my intercom. I have a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter that allows me to plug into the intercom.
My Sigtronics headphones don't have a cell phone plug.
