I'm wondering if these would be great airshow headsets? Anyone have these?

Well it's like any quality piece of equipment... If it meets your requirements and it's well built, it can last a lifetime.

I really enjoy airshows, and I'd like to enjoy my hearing too.

Bose makes some awesome headphones too, we've used them at work to help in noise reduction.

I just purchased the Classic Headset for only $59.95 at the Texas Motor Speedway and watched both races with them using my scanner. They worked awesome and the race is extremely loud. I am not sure if you have ever been to a Nascar race. It is louder than any air show I have ever been to. I feel these would work just fine and you wouldnt have to spend $149.00.

They have 25db noise reduction.

I think this is apples and oranges.

I'm currently wearing a pair of Bose QC2 and work and am very pleased with their performance in an office environment and on an airplane. I don't think the Bose's are as sturdy and I don't think they are intended to shield you from the same sort of noise. They have no where near the passive cancellation ability.
