Jhieminga, thanks for your post.
I have changed the microphone on my DC 10H-30 with Dave Clark retrofit kit P/N 18376G-02 M-7/DC Electrect Mic. Supplied by Global Aviation, total cost incl post, Euro 132.83. Works very well.
I like the ruggedness of the DC. Some years ago I fitted an Adams retrofit ANR kit. Also works good.
I'm a bit put off the Bose due to the plastic Y-pieces (I have a Bose music headset, which I'm very pleased with).
I usually make short flights in a noisy RV-12, if you are long haul in a quite cockpit, I can see the attraction of Bose.
