I'd recommend the DC 13.4s, Matey, 'cos they're light as a feather, and as comfortable as a warm bosom.
Due to some ear surgery, either side, when I was a mere pip-squeak, I find that my ears are especially susceptible to heavy, uncomfortable headsets. Especially anything that an instructor is likely to carry out from the club house. Still shudder whenever I see those headsets with ragged bits of cloth and a locknut which clamps 'em into one generic head size. Yuk.
Never tried any with ANR, but I believe the difference is amazing. However, I'm a little concerned that they can lessen the subtleties of the engine note, which is not what I've in mind when sitting behind a single donkey on a humid day. I suspect that ANR comes into its own with regards to radio-work: could be a boon during IFR training?
Whatever, my own priorities are aviate and navigate, with communicate a distant third.
