David Clark Pro-X Hybrid ENC Headset
Has anyone any experience of using the David Clark Pro-X Hybrid ENC Headset in a jet, B737NG preferably. My old Sennheisers have finally given up and I don't want to spend a grand on a Bose

I got one for Christmas this year - use it at work in the 738.
I find it very comfortable - use rechargeable batteries which last about 3-4 days each. The downside with the early models was that they didn't come with a clip for the ANR unit, and in the 738 there is nowhere to hang it, but that has been remedied - David Clark sent me one free of charge. I now clip the ANR box to the back end of the sunscreen rail.
The Bluetooth works well too should you be that way inclined. It also has a good reversionary mode if the batteries fail, and works fine, though you do notice the noise a bit more. Because it sits on the ears rather than over you have to get the position spot on for the ANR, but once you've adjusted it to your head it should be fine.
All round, I strongly recommend it. Lots of guys and girls I fly with comment on it too, as they haven't seen one before.
