I have the Sigtronics S-AR and a couple of their passive headsets. I've had
the passive ones for about 10 years. Just replaced the padding and mic
screens last fall. I've had the S-AR for about 5 years (I think). I found
them to be a great value at the time. They've held up well and I don't baby
them.

Comparing price and performance, the David Clark's and Bose just aren't
worth it. I've tried them at the shows. There just isn't enough there to
justify their costs.

I put the Telex Stratus 50D in the same category - although I have not tried
the 50D. They do seem to have the best specs. 50dB of ANR at about the same
weight as others. $699 Sporty's List.

If I were buying again and trying to get the best value, I would look at the
Sig S-AR for $449 or the Telex Stratus 30XT for $499 (both Sporty's List).
