DC PRO (Passive)
Anybody have experience flying the CRJ or similar aircraft with the passive noise reduction DC PRO headset? It's 330 bucks cheaper and I question whether ANR is really necessary in any jet aircraft. Thoughts?

I'm unimpressed by anything in ear. Anything you stick in your ear your body is going to try to get out. It does this by creating extra wax. This is just a physiological fact. Wear ear plugs a lot? You'll notice more wax. People who wear hearing aids do. My wife lost one- so she only has one right now. The ear it's in generates 10x more wax than the other one.

I have a Telex 850 and replaced those lousy ear pads with thicker ones from Oregon Aero. Made a world of difference. Best part about the 850 is ANR without batteries.

I have been using the Bose ProFlight for about a month now. The very first trip with them I was certain that I would be returning them ASAP. I gave them a second chance and have now fallen in love with them. The noise cancelling works very well...even in a noisy CRJ. The “hear through” function is a good idea but worthless in the real world. I have finally found out how to turn it off so that every time I touch my ear it doesn’t turn on and become annoyingly loud. The cord is a bit heavy and cumbersome but I just clip it on something and it relieves the pressure. The only thing I really hate about it is the carrying case. It takes extra time to neatly fold it all up and store the headset after each flight. Maybe they will fix that during the next version.
