Post Lightweight Headsets

I fly (reasonably quiet) turboprops. The company issue us with DC 10-80's, which are good, but still heavy on a long trip. As a result, once in the cruise, many pilots prefer to remove headsets and use the overhead speakers instead. This is not totally satisfactory either, and we need to raise our voices to be heard.

I have been given permission to research lightweight headsets for personal use.

Provided they have the same impedance as DC's, there should be no technical problem, but I have no desire to waste my money just on a test, so I need personal recommendations on these headsets, preferably specifically as used in a pressurised twin turboprop.

What lightweight headsets do other people use, and are they any good?
