I’d say that about 80% of the 737 pilots use the DC Pro X. That number should tell you all you need to know. A few guys use the Bose. When guys were still coming over from the 80 in Chicago they’d have their earpiece for a trip or two and then get the DC.
Maybe three years ago they were discussing giving us a stipend to buy the DC Pro X, which would have been nice, but it never happened.

To add to my earlier post. I loved the DC Pro-X...for the one leg I got to use it. Unfortunately, it fell apart after that first leg. The hinge on the earcup without the microphone completely came apart on me and I was unable to put the pieces back together. I will be calling DC first thing in the morning to work out a plan with them. This is not the first case I've heard about, unfortunately. Overall, though, prior to breaking, my impression was that it's a very good headset for the 737. I badly missed it on the subsequent legs when I was forced to use the airplanes Telex 750s.

Very happy with the clarity aloft bluetooth especially on longer legs. If you have a crashpad and are accustomed to ear plugs, you'll be fine 
Very quiet and it's nice to be able to not have to slide your headset to the side before push etc.

Oh ya. Clamping headsets are lame. Never again. Plus my hair is too pretty to be disturbed by some big dumb headset.

Clarity Aloft user here. I'm not sure why this isn't the headset of choice honestly. I forget it's on, no headset hair, it's quiet and the best part is you can just hang one ear plug while the other stays in if your flying buddy likes to yell over the sound of the aircraft
I see a lot of people do the same thing (one ear on one off) with their Bose or DCs and it seems like a huge pain.
Much easier to do with the clarity aloft and everybody I fly with operates the communication differently on that airplane.
Clarity will allow you to adapt the easiest
