Default Sennheiser HMEC 26 Headset

Anyone using the Sennheiser HMEC-26, specifically in CRJs?

I've been using A20s and I'm looking for something lighter weight.

The Sennheiser looks like a solid headset.

I'm also interested in the David Clark pro-x ANRs.

Any suggestions or advice would be helpful, thanks.

I have been using them on the 737NG and really like it. Comfortable and sound quality is good. Talk through function is worthless. Amplifies all of the cockpit sounds but being able to flip the ear piece back is nice.

I have one that I use in the dash 8. I like it however I bought it right before David Clark came out with the DC Pro-x. A few captains bought that headset and it just seems like a better design and more comfy than the sennheiser. It has bluetooth, folds flat in your flightcase, has more padding, and is made out of metal instead of plastic.

I use the DC pro X in the CRJ. They are great. Lots of comfort, light weight and good ANR.

If the regional you work for provides a headset, then I'd reccomended not sinking one more dime of your money on this job. If they don't, then I would reccomended you follow my first piece of advice.

BTW, the CRJ is nice and quiet when you keep it around 210 KIAS!
