There have been articles written both online and in magazines and while they do a good job a headset is a very personal thing. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another. I've used the Bose headsets a few times and I have to say I don't like them. They aren't bad, but I wouldn't pay a grand for them. Other people love them and say they are worth every last penny. The Zulu is likely going to be my next headset, I like its features but more importantly I like the feel.
Personally, I don't care what kind of features and metals a headset has. When it gets down to it I want 2 things. Quiet, which can be quantified and you can compare headsets on paper. And comfort, which is personal and is different for every person. I put comfort above quiet, so I have a very hard time saying one is better than another for you.
Try them out, try out as many different ones as you can find even if you think you may not like them. You just might. If you can get yourself to a large flyin you'll probably find a vendor that has a few different ones and some way to simulate noise (chair surrounded by speakers) so you can have a good test of each headsets function and comfort.
