I just got back from a biz trip to London. My company is gracious enough to fly me Business Class, and on the way there I got bumped up to First Class. American Airlines gives out Bose QC2's to First/Business Class passengers. I had my PXC-250's with me, so I couldn't help but do a bit of comparing while in flight.
I think the Bose did a better job than my Senn's when it comes to the noise cancellation part. I could hear less of the airplane humm with the Bose than with the Senn's, and the Senn's give off a noticeable hiss when the noise cancellation is engaged.
But I think the Senn's are a much better sounding headphone. Much more dynamic than the Bose, a wider stage, and a punchier sound.
On the way home, I turned down the QC2's and stuck with my Senn's.
Anyone else ever do in-flight noise cancellation comparisons?
