mixturelean, I too am thinking of buying an ANC headset. What do you think of the 13X vs the 13XL (DC's website is not very clear why the latter is worth the extra money. For that matter, DC's website isn't much good period, IMHO).
I heard that Peltor recently got out of the aviation headset business ... can anyone confirm that? Personally I am not a Peltor fan but they do (did) have a loyal following among many GA pilots.
