However to really compare the two I would have to use the same aircraft as well. I have an email into telex and I will see what happens and if they think it is a fault of the 850 but at the moment I am going to use my DC standbys.
Send it back and get another one. Mine works perfect in the CRJ, no distortion issues at al. I'm willing to bet that yours has some type of defect that needs to be fixed. Everyone else that I know with 850s loves them.
FYI my volume is set to Low and the ANR is turned on. Having the volume on hgih might screw it up, I dunno.. I havent tried it yet.
