PIREP of sorts: got a new headset, but should I keep it?

Pete,

I've read it a number of times in this very group while trying to
decide which headset to get, usually in reference to a Lightspeed
product. I just searched again for giggles and saw someone claim that a
Telex Echelon ANR produced that effect.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't think I want to wonder if the engine
is running or not when I'm flying, just had a different expectation I
suppose. I guess I thought I'd just hear a faint soothing background
hum, or something, I don't know.

In the end, I think I'll stick with the Denali's. Like I said earlier I
expected to be blown away for the $400 price difference and wasn't
exactly. If that's just the way it is then I'll just give them more
time. There's no doubt I can grow to love them, they are definitely
nice. Plus now that I only hear the higher frequencies I can pretend
I'm flying a King Air....
