Telex 850?
I'm in the 145 and I'm sick of the David Clamps. I know the Telex 850 has anr with 12db of reduction; does this work with the awful wind noise in the 145, or do you still wear earplugs with them? Thanks

They work fine in the CRJ, even at high indicated AS where it gets noisy. The 12 Db ANR is a good reduction in noise, but does not provide anechoic silence...for a truly silent ride you need a full earmuff style ANR like the Bose.
I like the 850 cuz it's cheaper, lighter, requires no batteries, and cuts enough noise to eliminate any risk of hearing damage, and reduces fatigue.
If you use a battery powered unit, you lose comms when the battery fails.
I picked the 850 after trying all the available options in flight...most guys will let you try their headset for a while.

I still have comm in the Bose when the battery fails. In fact, in my limited RJ experience, I haven't even really turned the ANR on because you don't really need it, and why waste batteries? I can't even afford batteries.
I did try it for a little while though, and you could have heard a pin drop.
