Ditto. I've had the following headsets and would rank them in order of my favorites from best to worst: Clarity Aloft, Sennheiser, Telex, Plantronics, David Clark. I fly long haul routes so comfort and noise attenuation/cancellation are very important to me. Nothing can compare to the Clarity Aloft. They're so comfortable that you forget you're wearing them and the sound quality is amazing, and in my opinion cockpit noise is mitigated much more effectively than any other headset. If music input is your thing, the Pro model that I use has that too, I don't know if the other model has that capability. I've never tried the Bose headsets, but after having flown with a lot of different over-the
-top-of-the-head style headsets, I'm sure my preference would still be the CA.
