[QUOTE="Willen, post: 1579392, member: 38550"] Hi! Sorry for bumping, but this topic is so interesting to me and I have something to share with you, guys! My wife and I have used the Bose units while operating our diesel-powered Grasshopper mowers (we have 'his and hers' units) for 7 or 8 years now. They work great. You don't have to turn your music up loud to hear it and the sound quality is great. I was always told that if my ears were ringing after doing something, I should have been wearing ear protection. Running a diesel ZTR doesn't seem that loud, but after 4-6 hours on one, your ears ring quite a bit when you get off. The last year I've almost exclusively used my Shure SE535's. They block out more sound and aren't as cumbersome as the larger headphones. I didn't think I'd like the "in the ear" buds, and I don't care for any of the cheap ones I've tried, but these have been a joy. I'm getting ready to go mow now and have them in my pocket. Here they are with the earpieces I prefer. They put the Bose to shame on pure sound quality. By far the best sounding 'anything' I've ever heard. When I fly, I put them in my ears, turn on a favorite playlist on my iPhone, and go directly to sleep until my wife wakes me and tells me it's time to land. I'd never been able to sleep on a plane before. Sleeping with the Bose was never an option just like it wouldn't be for any over the ears type. [/QUOTE]
