[Elecraft] Bose noise canceling headphones

[Cady, Fred]

Hi,
The Bose noise cancelling phones work GREAT for repetitive noise like
fan noise, rain on the roof (right W0YK?) and other things like that. I
have the QC2 having recently upgraded from the QC1s. They are the around
the ear model and the muffs have great noise reduction themselves.

Ah!
I've always wondered how well Bose noise cancelling phones worked.
Do they really cancel noise external to the head-set?
I understand the concept...mic the external noise and mix it back into
the earphones 180 out of phase.
Just never got a chance to see how effective.

There are times when I have trouble with noises in the house, and I
would love it if the head-phones could totally cancel all that out.
But.... not sure how far advertised is from reality  :)
