Clarity Aloft
What are people’s thoughts on this headset?
I’ve tried David Clark of course, and Telex. Prefer the clarity of the DC, (Telex I have a hard time when ATC is talking , not to us, and the captain is rambling on about something)
However, with both, even Telex, I hate the clamped feeling- anything over 2 hours is rough.
And yes, it’s vain, but I *hate* headset hair. It looks stupid and unprofessional.

I've tried both, and I would recommend looking at the Halo over the Clarity Aloft. It offers many of the same benefits at a much lower price point. It also uses sound tubes instead of wires going to the earpieces, which means less chance of problems with the speakers (I had a ton of issues with the Clarity).

Yes, I currently use the Halo and definitely recommend it. I also used to own the Clarity Aloft. I liked the concept, but had issues with the speakers cutting out and eventually gave up on it when I was given a Bose A20 as a gift (which I've since sold).
The only big limitation with the Halo is that they don't offer a Bluetooth option. I've never been one to stream music through my headset, but I know a lot of guys I fly with do so that would be a dealbreaker for some.

Satisifed Halo user here. Went from a heavy and bulky Lightspeed Zulu2 to the Halo and haven't regretted it one bit. Plus I think he is offering a Bluetooth adapter for the Halo now, so if that's of interest to you, there is that.
