I've worn the traditional style David Clarks (passive and ANR) for several thousand hours (I'm guessing well over 10,000 hours) and they were certainly not purgatory to wear. Might I suggest the ones you wore weren't adjusted properly to your head? Also the DCs were very reliable, all I ever replaced on my personal headset (about 7000 hours) were mic socks and ear cushions. This was a major factor in deciding to buy the One X's when everyone around me had Bose. I tried the Bose, I reckon the DC One X fits better, is at least as comfortable and just as quiet. BigEndBob I wore DC's with the highest passive rating for many years before I bought the One X's. The difference is like night and day. Hearing damage can happen outside the cockpit with noise from nearby aircraft while you're on the ramp etc. |

My employer has recently decided to equip our aircraft with the DC One X. I am afraid to say I hate them with a passion. The sound quality is fine, build quality good, unfortunately at the slightest forward movement of my head they fall off forwards, no matter where I try and seat the headband.

Are you really lecturing me on the way to wear a headset? I can tell you that I find DC headsets purgatory to wear. I have been issued with enough of them in time at work to know exactly how to adjust them and they are crap. I fly a turboprop for a living and they are utterly dreadful for cutting the noise. The Bose are just sublime. I was relating my experience with DC's which is obviously different to yours. In my experience they are not crap as you so eloquently put it. I was merely offering one suggestion as to why your experience was different, obviously not. Telling me you fly a turbprop for a living cuts no ice with me, it certainly doesn't make you special. It might interest you to know there are a few piston aircraft that rival a turbo prop for noise. I have a couple of turbo prop hours too and the DC's were just fine at noise cancelling. |
