Batteries are cheap at Costco, and actually the Pro-X2 has pretty good passive attenuation because the pads are so soft and pliable….sometimes I forget to turn on the ANR in the 737 and it’s just fine…..even better if you wear plugs underneath.

So buy the DC, deal with batteries and still wear ear plugs when wearing them? Not a great selling point if “ear plugs make it better”

Now you make me feel like a weirdo, for wearing the DC one X, with earplugs in King Airs…..

Do what works for you on a loud turboprop. I’m just shocked to hear someone say how great the ANR is on a certain aircraft and then talk about using foamies with them, on a 737. I’m on the A320 and telex ANR works great. The 8+ is almost too much ANR for the plane’s noise

Why do you need Bluetooth?

So I can listen to Katy perry on final


but also so that I can make very comfortable calls to maintenance at dispatch without trying to listen to some blown out phone speaker

Weight, space taken up in my bag, no need to buy batteries, comfort (which is subjective)

I love my Bose but don't miss hauling it around. BT was ok for listening to music but I don't find it to be a killer feature.

The only appropriate Megadeth song to listen to on short final is High Speed Dirt

I like it extra quiet, and I like the treble-y edge taken off of the comms. Anyone else can customize (or not) as they see fit.
