So, I'm stuck using the 'ol reliable $89 David Clark knock-off's I got
when I earned my license. They are not nearly as bad as I remembered, and
it is nice not having to deal with a battery box and AA batteries that die
at inconvenient times...

The last time I wore non-ANR headsets (last summer), I was stunned at the
level of racket and discomfort. I can't believe I used to fly with those
things!

Yeah, the batteries die at bad times, and older Lightspeeds were built like
1950s Japanese toys (the new ones are bulletproof, in my experience), but I
will never, ever, EVER go back to standard non-ANR headphones...
