Put it this way, if you are planning to go on to fly for a career, then ANR is probably a good investment. For us weekend warriors who fly <30 hours a year a PNR headset like the DC 10-13.4 is a solid purchase. I went with DC because I trained using various borrowed PNR headsets and the DC was the best of them for the reasons stated above.
