These are my very un-scientific first impressions of the new inexpensive Logitech noise cancelling headphones vs. the Bose Quiet Comfort II
In most cases the Logitech’s were nearly as good as my Bose. I give the Bose a slight nod with the higher pitch noise like the TS with blade raised, dust collector, and router.
I couldn’t tell any appreciable difference between the two in the lower pitched machines like my WoodMaster, air compressor, and heater.
The Bose were a little more comfortable but required a little fidgeting to get there. The Logitech’s fit over the ear very easily.
Musically, I liked the crisp, clean sound of the Bose better. The Logitech’s have a little too much bass for my listening pleasure but overall, still sound very good.
Value wise, the $49.99 Logitech are the clear winner over the $299.00 Bose.
I will be saving my Bose for the airplane and whenever I just want to kick back and listen to music. For shopwork and yardwork, the Logitech’s are the clear winner.
YMMV

I don't know how to do the tabbing thing in vBulletin so I did a simple screen capture.
