I bought a pair of LightSpeed 20K headsets at Oshkosh for $375 each.  Probably the best money I ever spent.  They work great and are very comfortable.  I did have a problem after about a year -- a frayed wire (where the cable feeds into the control box) caused the thing to stop ANR-ing, though the speakers and microphone continued to work.  I sent the unit back to LightSpeed and they fixed it under warrantee and even added an upgrade.  Despite my one-time problem with the units, I would not hesitate to buy the same thing all over again.  FWIW, I get at least 20 hours use on a pair of AA batteries.

However .....

My recommendation is to go to Sun N Fun or Oshkosh or some similar venue where you can try out the competing products all in the same afternoon.  Judge for yourself.  At the time (two years ago) I thought that the LightSpeeds were superior to the Dave Clarks, and cost less too.  I didn't dare try on the Bose units...
