I will say this... Having owned the 850 prior to the DC ProX the winner is clearly the DC’s. I couldn’t get those 850’s off my head fast enough. It had pressure points and made my dome hurt. Then again I do have an odd shaped head.

DC’s are comfy but they do require batteries, which the 850’s don’t. One draw back. However as I said before most captains opt for the lunar lander technology headset. No ANR required.

It’s most of the old school cats that seem to care less about hearing I guess.

What ever floats your boat.

I find this single-sided ANR headset to be perfect for the Airbus right seat given few CAs use a headset. I can hear ATC clearly and it might save some hearing in one ear. I use the ear plug foamy underneath, adjust volume as needed, and wear it all flight long instead depending on the speaker. It's comfortable. No battery needed.
