ANR does sound good, is there much difference between an entry level ANR and
a $1000 set? It doesn't look like there is all that much difference in
attenuation, but I have never tried a pair of ANR's so I don't really know.


The major difference between a high-quality unit ( $600) and the least expensive
Lightspeed is the fact that you can easily get distortion in the BOL Lightspeeds from
poor seals in the earcups. If you wear glasses, they may be unusable. When I tried a
set at Osh some years back, the sales rep was very up-front about it. Another problem
with cheaper units can be excessive height of the headband, though this is also a
problem with my Series I Bose.
