[Elecraft] Bose noise canceling headphones

[Erik N Basilier]

Ken, thanks for including the battery information.
I have been attracted to the idea of noise-cancelling headphones for years, 
but never had enough information about the power sources.
My interest has never been urgent enough to write or telephone the 
manufacturers.
Curiously, mose advertisements don't mention that aspect at all. When I had 
a job, I wanted a pair that could be powered through a wall wart.
In the rare occasions that I am on an airplane I would want to use 
disposable batteries. The worst possible situation in my opinion would be to 
have to use rechargeables. For daily use they create extra work, and for 
occasional use they are never ready when needed.

73,
