Lightest most effective headset for microlighting

Before anyone berates me for starting yet another headset thread... I'm not necessarily looking for the greatest thing since sliced bread in terms of noise reduction - as I'm only going to be flying fixed wing microlights for a while.

What I DO want to find out is which headset is the most comfortable, and lightweight, whilst still offering good noise reduction (passive or active), and a good mic.

Having a decent sized swede on my shoulders, and a pair of Ferengi sized ears, I get lobe ache after being clamped by the school's headsets for even a short period of time. I'm happy to shell out for something that it going to increase my comfort while learning.

I tried my instructors DC X11 set and it felt lovely by comparison, and the 13.4's seem like a good bet if they are similar in feel.

I just thought I'd ask here before I start loitering around the control tower asking everyone how walks up if I can try their headset on
