Comment minefield !

Headsets are a far too personal item for there to be a correct answer, the only answer is does it work for you.

The only comments I would wish to make are on reliability and the ANR performance.

For reliability my DC’s are hard to beat, they have worked faultlessly since 1993 needing only the ear cushions replaced.

Having moved in to the world of ANR with the Bose x a few years back these have been faultless for 2500 hours of flying with only the ear cushions being replaced. I think the battery life is not great but as I don’t often fly aircraft without a power supply for the Bose I can’t put an accurate number on battery life.

The bottom line is you get what you pay for and before I got the DC’s back in 1993 I had a string of bargain basement headsets that gave indifferent sound quality and poor reliability. I guess if when I started flying back in 1979 I had got A pair of DC’s I would probably still have them and saved my self a lot of money.
