The first 25 years are difficult...
After that your head has been reshaped to fit the David Clark headset, sort of like those Flathead Indians but in a slightly different way.
I now have the latest David Clark, the X-11. It is very light and comfortable, if not quite as gee-whiz as the Bose. When you are a clumsy person who works in difficult environments (heat, dust, humidity) then a rugged headset is a good thing and I always found David Clarks to be tough. The latest one seems to have kept the virtues while also being much more comfortable.
I wear custom-fit earplugs along with my headset, something I should have started with a long time ago, with hindsight. Nowadays the wife asks, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?" when I can only reply, "Phone?" Aaah, DeHavilland!
Must be the Mexican Police. "Engineering approval? We are the Mexican Police. We don' need no steenking Engineering Approval!"
