If price is no object, you should try all of the name brands and buy your preference. I own pairs of the LightSpeed 25XL, the BoseX and the Telex Stratus 50D. I always wear glasses, and all three brands are comfortable on long (four hour plus) flights. The BoseX is the best in the Baron but the Telex is best by far in the Husky. Telex has impressive passive and ANR, while the BoseX ANR is overwhelmed by the noise of the Husky or a warbird. The BoseX ANR is sweet in almost every other aircraft.
Headset performance also depends on the audio panel. If you have a good, stereo audio panel and good wiring, you will get better performance from the high-end headsets. Try the headset in the plane you will fly the most.
I still use my old DC 13.4 with gel when instructing at the club because they are comfortable for short flights and almost bulletproof.
