I'm in the market for an ANR headset, my mom said she would get it for me
since she has no idea what else to get me. I can only use so many socks and
sweaters that I will never wear anyway. I'm looking for the noise cancelling
stuff but I don't think she'll spring for $995.00 Bose headset! Anyone have
a more affordable ANR headset they would recommend? I have a regular
Sigtronics right now. It works great but after buying a set of the noise
cancelling headphones before my last commercial flight I just can't believe
the difference.


What I do when I want a high dollar gift is enlist several members of the family
to kick in for it... even as a comination birthday/Christmas gift if need be.
They kick in the cash with the understanding that their obligation for that
period of time is over... you can't look disapponted on the annoited day.

If there still isn't enough cash, make up the difference yourself. Sell your
present headset if you can.

This can be done. I wanted an electric guitar and amplifier... been wanting one
for 30 years but couldn't justify it. I finally bought what I wanted and had my
father and aunt kick in towards it for my birthday. Their contributions only
covered half of the total cost but it made the remaining cost OK for me to
absorb. Everybody's happy... except the dog when I play. G
