I was encouraged by fellow pilots and a Chief Pilot to write a report based on the FAA decision to allow passengers electronic devices powered up during aircraft movement and my headset/electrical interference concern. I have a Bose X headset and I use the power on associated with the headset during critical phases of flight. I encounter electrical interference with my headset anytime someone has left their cell phone on during taxi; takeoff; climb and during arrival; landing; and taxi in to the terminal area.  The noise is best described as an electrical radio seeking a source; similar to a cell phone near a car/house radio. It is not loud; but consistent 'beeping' as the electrical item seeks a 'radio' source. My concern is that with more electrical devices allowed; this could increase the noise and interference in headsets.My headset recently went through Bose maintenance for non-electrical issues (a bracket broke) and certified TSO worthy and returned to me for service; however; this issue happened prior to and still happens. I do not receive interference inflight after 10;000 feet when the cell phone service can no longer find a source. I would be curious if other Pilots across the aviation spectrum find an issue with cell phones on with noise reduction headset. Note; this Bose X does not receive power source from the aircraft; but provides its own battery pack for noise reduction operation. More study needs to happen to see about electrical interference before fully implementing passenger 'open season' on electrical gadgets.
CRJ-200 Captain experiences interference in his Bose X headset possibly caused by a cell phone.
