I keep an ANR headset on board for each seat (4), and have a variety of models.
When I purchased my present aircraft in 2006 it came with a pair of Bose X (A10), In 2009 I got a Lightspeed Zulu ANR with Bluetooth and sold a then spare DC H10-13X ANR to another Ppruner from NZ. Last year at Oshkosh I got the Bose A20 with Bluetooth and am retiring my DC H10-13X ANR (now for sale @ $375 - PM me if interested).
WHile there's very little difference between them, my preference is the Lightspeed Zulu for performance and comfort, but the Bose X is also extremely good.
The Bose A20 gets marked down for no other reason than the cable is way to stiff, heavy and uncomfortable where it drapes over my arm, and I don't seem to be able to find a decent way of keeping it clear.
When it comes to the Bluetooth functionality however, the Bose is better than the Lightspeed, which for some odd reason won't connect seamlessly every time.
