buenas noches: i am in the market to buy a replacement to my trusty bose noise canceling headsets. they are too bulky and i want to lighten the load. i travel by airplane for work, so noise canceling/isolation is a must. i am looking at the sony mdr-nc11 fontopia, etymotic er-6i, sure e4c, sure e3c and etymotic er-4 micro pro. i am leaning for the etymotic er-6i. just as a note: i am one of those that just cannot stand more than a couple of minutes with the ipod headsets. the headsets of my new ipod have never been out of the package. any recommendations? thanks! gladys
