I've found reviews of each, but none comparing the two. It seems that they both will be about the same size; the Telex looks like it may be a little lighter and has adjustments to the microphone gain, but more expensive.

Does anyone have any input as to the difference?

I currently have a Sennheiser ANR model, and love it. Great RJ headset, but not for a company that doesn't use the aircraft's intercom. I'm looking at the "One ear open" models. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
