Postal Money Order versus Bank Money Order ???

Which headphones should be purchased?
I fly several times per year to London on American Airlines. They provide the Bose headphones in business class. I had considered buying a pair of my own for when I travel on my own dime, but I did as Joe-b suggested and checked out Head-Fi and He...
