I too am just about to purchase my first headset - i was going to go down the DC h10-56hxl but having seen this thread and done some research i am not so sure now

.
Hearing protection is of vital importance to me as i have one ear close to the limit already. Are there any comparisons anywhere between the DC's/ Bose style headsets and the in ear systems?
Disregarding price what are peoples opinions on the best system on the market for helicopters?
Has anyone experience of the lightspeed in ear system?
I want to get this right from the off, so you guys with the years of experience whats your thoughts?
