I did no small amount of research before purchasing these headphones. I can afford the Bose A20s but I had reservations about Bose customer service. I had physically tried a LightSPEED Zulu 3 and a Sierra. (Note: the Zulu 3 looks more rugged - more metal than plastic - than the Sierra) However, I knew from a LightSPEED owner they had problems with the Bluetooth. There is a delay that makes the Bluetooth almost unusable. Each party must delay response about 3 seconds to be heard. I don’t know if LightSPEED has fixed this issue. The LightSPEED is very comfortable. I evaluated the noise cancelling charts and the UFQ A28 ANR surpassed the Bose A20 (note I don’t use the ANR). I also looked at the UFQs company service ratings and the serviceability of the A28. Both were excellent. Since purchasing the UFQ I had a chance to compare with the Bose A20. I found no difference in the ANR. I do think the A20 is a very little bit more comfortable (slightly less squeeze pressure) but I’ve spent a lot of continuous hours under the UFQ and am very happy. The UFQ is definitely more rugged then the A20. The UFQ has the 3.5 jack for cellphone cable link that lets you use your mobile and communication together – I don’t think anyone else has this. The UFQ does not have Bluetooth. When I need that I plan on getting a Pilot Blulink. That will still keep my total purchase less than the Zulu or A20. Note I like having individual components so one failure does not take out the whole system. Finally the UFQ boom works very well. I think the A20 is a bit too short – I couldn’t get it right in front of my mouth. And I like the carry bag that comes with the UFQ.

VERY nice quality headset for the price. lightweight, and durable felling construction. The ear seals feel great and do a nice job at PNR (passive noise resistance). The ANR seems very good so far... I noticed the sound is much better when playing music with the ANR on. I will buy another one for my wife soon as long as the headset holds up over long term use.

Noise cancelling might be a bit of a stretch but considering the price well worth it

The item arrived even several days earlier than promised.
The ANC gives a much better noise cancellation, especially for the engine noise.
Distortion of the side-tone while sending disappeared by readjusting the side-tone SIT of the KTR2 board radio to a lower level and the mike amplification of the KTR2 to the half. Even with the ANC switched of, the mike signal level is sufficient. I optimized the adjustments of my KTR2 board radio for the UFQ28 headset.
The guidance manual of the UFQ28 mentions only an eventual adjustment requirement of the SQUELCH of the board radio. I advise all customers of this nice and low cost ANC headset rather consider the adjustments of the side-tone SIT signal and the mike amplification.
I can not evaluate the intercom use, because I use it in a one-seater.

Great head set for price. The Headset is alittle tight, however, for the price, far better than their piers.
Advantages: much better passive noise reduction than the Bose headset. Battery lasts a ling time. Very quiet ANR. Solidly built. Heavy duty cord and plugs. Auxiliary input jack for 1/8 inch input from phone.
Disadvantages: these are bulkier than the Bose (that may or may not be an issue for each individual). Not as many "custom" sound adjustments as the Bose. No bluetooth.
The reduced cost of technology makes quality items so inexpensive now; if you used to wear a set of David Clarks, these will blow you away. Enough said.
