I've looked at the Boss site and some comments on Amazon, and I wouldn't say you get that much more for your money. The two plus points are that the cancelling is contained in the phones themselves. The leads are detatchable from the phones too. A slight downside is you get neither noise cancelling or music when the batteries run out after around 30 hours. Some have said they are less confortable after a few hours wearing them. Well, one guy has seemed to imply that Boss is simply a superior brand. That simply varifies to me the magic of branding, a well known market technique, which as long as it has some basis in truth is OK I suppose. Sony is another of the magic brand names associated with style and quality. They do noise cancelling phones too.
