ANR Headsets - Recommendations

[jad]

Hi guys..

I'm in the market to purchase a heli headset, the ol` fixed with
converter plug has had it days!!

Any recommendations out there??

I must say my favs are the Flightcom Denalli or the Sennheiser HMEC
450.. but am I best to stick with David Clarke like the rest of the
aviation world ??

The Bose of course are perfect however, a little out of my price range!


Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated :)

thanks in advance,


Jad

Ended up going for the Sennheiser 322. One of the lightest ANR units and
claimed to reduce up to 40db!

I`ll let you know how I find them...

The new ENC DC's look great... but also a bit pricey!
