David Clark 13.4

Flyers,

If anyone is looking for a nice David Clark aviation headset I have one for
sale on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/q9n2p

I just upgraded to the Bose Aviation X, but it still breaks my heart to sell
these. They are just as comfortable as the Bose, they provide great noise
attenuation and reduction and have remarkable clarity.

They also NEVER gave me any problems in any way, shape or form. There are
indeed well designed and constructed. Good luck to anyone who bids on them.

Jon,

I also have 2 Lightspeed 30-3G's and two David Clarks for pax's. I am
upgrading the audio panel to the PS Engineering PMA8000B for it's cell and
music input. That will provide music for all four places. Eventually, I
will keep the LS's for rearseat pax's, sell the remaining DC's and purchase
a second Bose for the front. This way my wife and I can enjoy the music we
like and my son (18 y/o) and his girlfriend can enjoy what they want to
listen to thru the LS's music inputs. Everybody will be happy...hopefully.

Kobra,

I just purchased the Bose too... Don't forget to get your free Garmin
Geko 201 handheld GPS (a .149 AMU value!!). I saw the ad (for the free
GPS) after I had my headset for about a month so I called Bose and asked
if I could get in on the deal. In three days I had the GPS. What a great
company and a great headset. I am well pleased. Take care!!

How do you like the Bose compared to the DC 13.4? I have a DC 10-13XL that
I am pretty happy with, but I have always been curious about the Bose X.
The price is whats keeping me from buying one. I can't tell if the extra
$400 is worth it or not.

It was for me for the exact same change.

However, I do have a fat head, so it was all about clamping force. If
you have a more human sized head, you may not see the benefit.

AlR,
I also have the H10-13XLs, and I've borrowed my friend's Bose headsets to
compare. Personally, I didn't think any difference in noise cancellation
was worth it. Nor did I think the Bose's were any more comfortable. In fact,
I prefer the boom mic on my DCs. YMMV.

They are lighter and more comfortable than any headset I have owned. I like
the look of them better than any other headset. The ANR is about the same
as my old Lightspeed 30-3G's so that is a wash. The sound quality of the
Bose X is a bit superior than the DC's or the Lightspeeds and I listen to
music using an MP3 or the 396's XM Radio on any flight 20 minutes. So
that is important to me.

The one thing I hated about the LS's is that in the winter time the foam
seals became cement-like and was very uncomfortable until they warmed up
considerably. I don't know if the Bose seals are like that. Maybe someone
else with experience can comment on that. I don't think the DC's gel seals
ever did that.

Do I think they are worth the extra 400.00 over other headsets with more
features, like cell/music input and built in EQ. Hmmm....no. But look...I
bought them for some reason. I just haven't done enough introspection to
figure it out yet.
