After finding this site (I think someone posted it on here once) I made my own...

Using:

Pros:
- Has better noise reduction than my normal headset, a Pilot Avionics PA11-60 with DC Gel seals. Proper fitting of the earphones is essential! They claim NRR of 29dB.
- About 8 trillion times more comfortable, no head clamp, no hot spot on my head, no sweaty ears, sunglasses not a problem etc.
- Cheap if you have the know how and bits and pieces

Cons:
- Wire Jungle
- Bit fiddly to put on
- Not as good as a set of Zulu's
