Headsets for Jet Drivers

Hey guy. You said you fly a loud airplane. I lulled. Nobody's trying to start a fight here. Which is a lucky thing for you, since you're the kind of knock-kneed, lily-livered, pasty-faced, zit-popping, backpack-wearing, frosted-tips-having, male-cosmetics-using, NDB-fearing Nancy-Boy who would spend a grand on a headset to protect their hearing, when most of what you're going to hear for the rest of your life is stories about how you don't have the slightest clue about what it was like to fly back when men were men and women were secretaries. Hell, you should welcome deafness, son. Cause it's either that or listening to guys like me for hour after tortuous hour.

Boris...I am disappoint. I didn't see "youngster" or "entitlement" at all, in that Clark Griswold worthy tirade. Don't you know those to buzzwords are standard for old man rants against the younger generation?

PBR?? The hipsters will be impressed. :)
For what it's worth I've been loving my DC Pro-X's for the last year. I tried the Clarity TSO'd and the LightSpeed Mach 1’s. I swore I wouldn't use a clamp style headset. They just work though. Oh yeah...GET OFF MA LAAAAWWWNNN!!!!

Ugh all this hipster crap. They keep finding things I like and then liking them, thus making it hard for me to like them.

What's liking something before it was cool is hipster, what's it called to like something before hipsters liked it?

Bawllin!
 
I thought I was old. PBR isn't even post-hip anymore. The notion that PBR is "hip" is like the notion that bell-bottoms are cool. It's not even fun to make fun of, anymore. Which ultimately means that PBR is right back where it belonged all along. In Walt Kowalski's cold, dead hands.

I think that make you a hipster.
 
I have a pair of DC Pro-X's, and I love them. They have worked great in the following aircraft:

Hawker 700
Hawker 800
King Air 200
Navajo
Cessna 172
Piper Arrow
Cessna Citation

Being able to stream bluetooth music is awesome, and they are built like brick poop houses, so I don't worry about them not being able to put up with my abuse. I have a giant (empty) head, and I wish the headband had one more "click" of adjustment, but that is my only gripe.
 
Totally different suggestion. I don't see these too often, but the others I know who have them love them....

Inexpensive, bulletproof, sound great. Customer service is outstanding. I bought a worn-out pair, used em for a while, sent them in and they completely refurbished them, added a cell phone adapter.

The cord is detachable which is very handy. Because they're lighter than others I've used, they're comfortable with sunglasses. In fact, they're just flat out comfy.

I've considered a Clarity Aloft, and might do so at some point just to have something different, but these Pilot Usa's are definitely a workhorse headset.

EDIT - meh - I don't know if these are approved for your airline. Sorry.
 
I still use my trusty Bose X. They work great in the RJ, but I've really been wanting to go the QC15/uflymic route since I'm a commuter, and it'd be nice to have the qc15s for the commute to/from work.
