I'll second the Telex 850. I have been using mine for 5 years and only just replaced the ear pads. I'll admit, I am not one to take care of my toys, so it has certainly taken a beating.
I loved my DCs while flight instructing, but didn't want to suffer headset-head any longer. Their repair policy is beyond phenomenal, however unless you live within driving distance from Worcester, MA you will be without your headset while it is in the shop.
