My airplane partner has the Lightspeed Mach 1 headset that fits in your
ears similar to the Clarity Aloft and I can't hear what he is saying....
It is like the microphone doesn't work too good or something. His
regular Lightspeed 20XL headset I can hear him with no problem. Does the
Clarity Aloft seem to be pretty sturdy?

I've had a Bose X since 1999 and use it regularly - probably about 500
hours since I got them. Personally, I love them - they're light weight,
low profile (I fly a COZY MKIV, which doesn't have a lot of headroom),
and do a great job of reducing noise, while also having great sound
reproduction for listening to music while flying.

All that being said, the most important thing about headsets is that
they're comfortable, and the only way to know that is to try it out.
Head and ear sizes are different, and what might work great for one
person doesn't for another. Use the 30 day return policy to check them
out.

I just bought a "Clarity Aloft" in-the-ear headset for my wife, and she
likes them a LOT more than the Lightspeeds that she was using before -
she just didn't like something OVER her ears, but doesn't mind something
in them, because it weighs almost nothing. I'm the other way round.
