FWIW, I've got the lightspeed 30-3G (yes they are bulky, but they work). DRE
put out a US made ANR Headset (not unlike the DC13.4 form factor) for around
US$279.00. They might not be the best (although I have read positive
reports), seem to be built like the proverbial Brick Sh#$%^thouse and you
cannot use price as an excuse for not going ANR. Might be worth a look

Available from Avionics West IIRC.

My main complaint with the Bose is the price.

I am curious about what Bose brings to the product that makes it worth
the extra money. Or David Clark for that matter. I've fantasized about
a ANR headset but am deterred by the money. I'll just have to make do
with the old-fashioned foam-stuffed noise attenuating headset. If
someone can give a good reason to put up the money, I'd like to hear
it.
