You will never go back once you go ANR. I have a DC 10-13 XL which I got
for $650 (it's almost like wearing nothing), and a DRE Communications 6000
that I got for $300 during my training days. I am happy with both of them.
Every student pilot who has borrowed by DRE 6000 has bought one!.

The DRE has a cigarette lighter adapter that I use when I fly older planes
with the cigarette lighter socket (Like the F33, and old 172s). The DC is
battery or Panel.

I find it a bit overdone, this ANR thing. Ofcourse it is a nice feature,
but
I'm not flying helicopters or jets, just a C172 or PA28. Ok, still a lot
of
noise, but ANR ... I don't know. BTW, Are the ANR electronics powered by
the
plane, or does it uses (rechargable) batteries?

Actually, you don't want either one.

Get an Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headset.
Save, if you must, but don't settle for anything less than ANR!

Hi,

As a student pilot PPL(A), I'm considering to buy a brand new headset,
though can't decide which one to buy.
Checking all data, I can't discover any remarkable diff between both
models.

- The 10-13.4 model is the old time favorite, it seems.
- The 20-10 model is presented as next generation model.

Is someone able to indicate the big diff between both models ?

Thanks,

Barry
