Go for the 10-13.4 with an Oregon Aero "Hush Kit". Better noise
attenuation than the noise cancelling units, cheaper, sturdier, no
batteries to worry about. I've tried them all, including the Bose $1000
units, and wouldn't trade my 10-13.4 for anything.

WEAR THEM BEFORE YOU BUY!!!! G

I replaced my DC's due to the clamping force on my melon. They really
hurt after an hour or so, and they were also quite hot. No aftermarket
ANR kit could have changed those basic facts.

I did the 30 day Bose hands-on trial, after asking for input here, and
now you'd have to pry them from my hands.
