I didn't get far on that trip, but very early into it I
noticed an annoying sound in the headset. It was like
air passing through a tube. Not pleasant.
So...Kitty finally called Bose (+1 800 287-0611) today
and spoke with a very pleasant tech (Curtis). As soon as
she described the behavior he said something like "Oh,
you have the whooshing problem." It seems that they
replaced the "drivers" (op-amps?) on ~1000 headsets and
a few of them exhibit this problem.
She was told to send 'em back to his attention and he'd
fix it. He even apologized that I had been forced to
fall back to a pair of LightSpeeds.
Bose is good. I like Bose.

Not sure. *I* would have called it more of a "howling" -
almost a whistle.
You don't happen to wear glasses, do you?

Give Curtis a call. I've been impressed with how they've
handled our problems.

No, mine sounded more like an air leak in a door, even though the a/c
was stopped w/o the engine running.

If you haven't already, I suggest trying without your
glasses on (if you tuck them beneath the ear cups).
