I recently purchased a Bose QC-45. I used it for about 5 minutes in a CWops contest, and got RF in the left headphone. I disconnected it, and returned to my Bose QC-35's. The QC-45's have been returned to Amazon.

I had a similar problem earlier in the year with the Bose 700 headphones. I tried various toroids, but never could isolate them from RF (particularly a problem on 40m). Obviously, this is is not something Bose is concerned with. Fortunately, the QC-35 gamer headphones work well. With all three headphones, I used the headphone cable (not Bluetooth -> delay problem). FWIW, I like the Bose noise cancelling because it does a good job attenuating KPA1500 fan noise.

Has anyone used the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones? How do they work in an RF environment?
