If my old Sennheiser that noise reduction no longer works will be adequate? If I do need a new one what do most of the Bubbas use? Thanks!
I'm and ER guy and have used the DCs and Telex 750s. I like neither, as I don't like any clamped on my head. Plus the 750s were not loud enough unless I cranked the volume. I'm trying to prevent hearing loss, so that's no good.
So I bought the Clarity Aloft Pro headset. PNR vs ANR so no batteries required. Goes around the back of your head. Extremely light and comfortable. I can have a conversation with both ear pieces in my ears. Volume is set to the 9 o'clock almost always. I've worn them from JFK to SFO the entire leg. Take a look at them.
