I'll post another vote for the David Clark Pro X. Very comfortable, great sound quality, solid build, folds up nicely in the bag, and the Bluetooth is awesome. I usually get about 30 hours out of a set of AA batteries. My only complaint is the battery module has a flashing green light on it which is bright enough to light up the whole flight deck. I have to make sure it's tucked away in my flight bag or the reflection on the window looks like we're getting lased.
I never have, and never will use a company headset. I don't understand the logic of pilots making such a big deal out of the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the O2 mask, which they may use for three minutes, yet put on a company headset for the duration of every leg that hundreds of other pilots before them had spit and coughed on.

- but I do with the mic wind silencers that I grab out of AOC.
I think it helps the sound, but also puts a layer between you and the germs and viruses.

757/767 Telex 850s
Has anyone used the company-provided Telex 850s mentioned in the bulletin?
I've seen guys use a variety of company and personal headsets on the 757/767 and was going to wait to try one myself with an earplug in the other ear before buying anything more expensive.

I used the company telex anr a few legs this week on the 11, (just didn’t feel like pulling my dc’s out
. then last night used my dc pro-x’s and the dc’s are definitely more comfortable and quiet than the company provided headsets. I do take them off above 180, unless int’l and trying to understand controllers.
The price is right of course on the one’s I the plane. Night Mode works great btw, hold the BT button then the power button, release the power button and wait for the light to go out, then release the BT button and off ya go.
The auto shutoff feature is good too, accessible in the battery compt with the batts removed. Just switch the pin switch and the headset turns off after 5 min of being unplugged.

I’ve been using Bose QC35s and the NFlightMic. Works great and the QC35s are superb for deadheading. Warning... they are not TSO approved, yet.

Now if we had an intercom guys like to use I could save my hearing and not flipping one ear off.
