You wrote: "I am not aware of a single "noise cancelling" headphone that rivals standard sealed headphones for sound quality." Right, and take any sealed-back headphone you want onto an airplane and see how much music you're hearing when the airplane cabin ambient noise is typically ~60-65 dB. So the airplane traveler can either have no music (and no headphones) or else listenable sound quality with noise-cancelling headphones.

As far as "noise cancelling" headphones go, the AKG K-495 NC costs about the same as that Bose model but is said to provide much better sound quality than the Bose headphones. In a review of the Bose QC3 linked below, this reviewer claims that the QC3 blows the the QC15 away (4:35). Nevertheless, he thinks the AKGs far surpass the Bose in both sound quality and build quality... Have a happy flight!

This review says the Bose sounds better. For me, it's a non-issue, since I'm borrowing the Bose and not in the market for NC phones. I would get a set if I took more long plane trips.http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/akg-k495-nc-acoustics/4505-7877_7-35136693.html

As always, everyone has to decide for themselves...
