Default David Clark PRO-X headset issues with B737NG?

Hello 737 drivers...does anyone have the David Clark PRO-X active noise cancelling headset that they are using on the 737NG? More specifically, does it work in the world's loudest jet cockpit with respect to impedance? I have heard several guys say their headset won't work in the 737 cockpit due to said impedance issues. Does anyone have a good recommendation for what headset works well in the 737? Many thanks in advance to everyone, my hearing won't last much longer if I don't start using something better than earplugs!

I use a Telex 850. Had to send it back to the factory to get it to work, but all good now

Do you have to use batteries on the Telex 850? It seems like you would on the DC, but not the Telex....

No batteries in the Telex 850.

Why not post your reply here? Is this security sensitive information? Some other people may have the same question and would like to know the answer.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it! I was asking about the DC's, because my old DC was indestructible and great quality. However, I did not know they also require batteries then found out the Telex models do not require them. My trips tend to be multi-day, odd hour trips so I'd have to keep extra batteries around, if I don't lose them...

Default DC Pro X

I have had them about 2 months. They work great in -300's and NG's. I use some radio shack rechargeable AA and they last about 6 working days. My only complaint is that at night the power on indicator is a very bright flashing light.
