Second the DC pros. Great noise canceling and comfortable (ears will begin to feel the clamping pressure at 3+ hours).

Yes you can

And the truth is, nobody is ever going to check the TSO issue. But, yes, if it makes you feel better, you can get TSO.

As for DC's, I wore my trusty DCs for 15 years, and while they work great, and are rugged, there just came a time when I couldn't take the headaches any more....especially given the long days of a regional pilot.

Trust me....the QC/UFM combo is a great deal.

Ive got both the A20 and QC15 (for commuting)...am I crazy for wanting to try the UFM?

The saab isn't loud at all but I'm just curious.

Of course not. Besides, I think you can return the UFM rig if you don't like it.

Clarity Aloft. Extremely lightweight, very quiet and super comfortable.

I had a pair of these for years. However, for long range flying (>4 or 5 hours) the on the ear setup gets uncomfortable. They do work great, though.

Currently using QC-15s with a TSOed UflyMic. Works good as well, even in a noisy 737 cockpit.

Everyone is a bit different of course but I really enjoy my Sennheisers.They don't really bother me even on longer flights.I prefer the over the ear cup for better noise reduction and protection. I don't want to be old and have everyone constantly scream at you because you can hear sh!t.My suggestion if you have a credit card with enough on it, buy the 3 you are most interested in.Try them on and walk around the house for a few hours in each one.The one that fits you best and you find most comfortable keep those and return the rest for a refund. That's what I did.

The Clarity Aloft is a nice piece of hardware. Lightweight. Doesn't mess up your hairdo.
