I don't really want to buy a new headset at this time and my old setup I feel just won't cut it. How are the company provided ones? Or is there anyone out there that uses the UflyMike setup in the Saab?
They're the basic-as-basic-gets David Clarks. Most people who use them will put earplugs on underneath them. The noise can make a 4 day trip seem pretty long. I've got the ANR DC's from my instructing days and they do just fine. You could try the earplug/company headset setup for a little bit and if that's still not cutting it, then shell out the cash.
