Lakeview,

Which models would you recommend for flights of less than two hours behind a
two-stroke engine?


Ah, two-stroke. Good that you mention it. You tend to have less of the really
low-frequency "rumble" that is typical for bigger engines and more of a higher
frequency bias in the noise spectrum. Since ANR is excellent at low
frequencies and passive reduction good at higher frequencies, the QFR XCc
might actuall be a good option for you. It has not-stellar ANR, but still a
quite high passive reduction.

OTOH, the XL and 3G series offer those super-comfortable cushions.

If at all possible, try them in your plane.
