Headsets

[Mike Kimball]

I once test-drove the Bose, many years ago when it was fairly new and didn't
like the ANR. It made everything sound tinny. I like to listen to music on
long flights and ANR was awful for that. Nothing but treble coming through.
Do you guys with modern ANR hardware notice the same characteristic or have
they made ANR better now?

I recently researched the subject of ANR vs standard headsets, and there is

no doubt that the ANR versions are well worth the extra. Just an additional

tidbit as food for thought.

Bose and David Clark both have relatively new models, The Bose "X" at
$995US
and the Clark "X-11" at about $799US. Both of these are outstanding units
with low weight and minimal "clamping force." (Otherwise knows as what makes

your head feel as though it were in a vise after being worn for a while.)
Both
these units use a lot of electronic wizardry (and owner dollars) to provide
the active noise reduction.

I found that David Clark also had the H10-13X model at just about $550US.
Lightspeed has the 30-3G model for a similar price. Although slightly
"older"
models, they utilize the passive technology a bit more (sealing noise out vs

canceling it electronically.) As a result, if they stop "actively" canceling

noise, maybe because I forgot to bring out a new 9 volt battery to the
airport
today, they still do a better job of sealing out the noise then the newer,
more expensive models.

So far I have logged several flights, the longest about 3 straight hours
with my new David Clark 10-13XL.

I couldn't be happier.

Just my $.02
