Default Headset recommendation

I've decided to upgrade my old Telex headset, and have narrowed my choices
to the Bose X or the David Clark X11. Any comments, positive or negative,
about either of these two headsets? Thanks.

Order one of each from somebody that will permit 30-day returns
without a restocking fee.

Fly 2 hours out with brand A, back with B.
Then fly 2 hours our with B, return with A.

My favorite right now is the non-ANR Clarity Aloft in-ear set.
Feather light, no head pressure, motor noise just a light hum. Much
more comfortable than my LS 3Gs and, in my perception, quieter. Also,
ANR sets are really poor when the batteries die. Replacement isn't a
big deal but sometimes in IMC things get really busy.
