Don't bother with the telex ANR. Tried it. Returned it. The DC PRO is great, but expensive.
If cost is a factor, go with a telex 750 and use earplugs. I did that for 18 years. But, you gotta find earplugs you are happy with. Doesn't work for everyone.
Also, you can usually find a 750 on ebay for under $200.
