I asked the original question. I
currently own 2 Lightspeeds ($375 ea. new) and 2 older Telex ($250 ea. used
about 3 yrs ago). I have a David Clark H10-30 which is a fine headset for
it's time but as mentioned, it is heavier than the Lightspeeds. Now if you
want to win the weight contest, then you have to spend a grand or so on
BOZE. Just the same, the David Clark is so rugged that it seems a
shame to have it sitting in a box somewhere with the spiders nesting in the
earcups. I also own several planes including the Coupe. I have
gotten tired moving headsets from plane to plane (now there's a high class
problem) and didn't want to spend ~$350 on an ANR for the Coupe. Now the
real crunch will come when I have an ANR in the left seat and don't have one for
the right seat for the co-pilota. Rocks wont be the only thing hitting the
fan then. I have various assorted $100 headsets laying around, but as A J
points out, the $170 may not be justified on one of those. Perhaps I
should trade a pair of those for one more DC???

BTW, have any of you electronic geeks out
there ever interfaced an aviation headset with the 2.5mm headset plug on a
cellfone. (Yea, just for ground use :)))
