Price really isn't an issue any more (the gap between ANR and Passive is
almost negligable). Whilst I have the LS 30-3G, I would have considered the Made in USA DRE 60000 (look like black DC13.4s) at $279 from Avionics West if I knew they existed. Good reviews, but no personal experience. Avionics West have a review on their website. Personally (note and emphasise personal opinion) ANR leaves passive for dead. I really liked my DCH20-10, but they do not come close to the LS25XL/LS 30-3G as far as audio and comfort. I wouldn't go back to passive unless there were no ANR sets available. Money well spent (and cheap really) IMHO. YMMV, wrote in message ...

No, they're not. and how are batteries a "weak point"? I was thinking of extra wiring being vulnerable and possible flat battery. However I now see some include auto-shut-off. I don't get hung up on ANR, I just hate it when people judge things with no basis in facts. ;-) Sorry if you misundertood me, I wasn't getting at you personally, I just wanted to stay on topic and not have a battle of passive/ANR. My advice: Get a Marv Golden or Avshop branded version of the Lightspeed QFR XCc for 250 $ or so. ANR, lightweight, cheap. If you're in the UK, you can get them in Europe, too. That's interesting. I haven't really looked at 'cheap' ANR but these two are looking good. Now you've got me thinking again. My only remaining reservation is reliability. The reviews of the 'AvShop Design A450 ANR' seem favourable but some problem with slipping and not gel seals also a comment about a problem with the sliding volume controls. The Marv Golden MG-ANR seems to have the edge but I would still like to know more about the 'Leatherette Ear Seals'. It appears not ot have auto-shut-off? At $250 I'm much more interested as long as I'm not getting poor quality at the expense of performance. As for trying headsets I'd love to but I'm a long way from anywhere in the UK that has a pilot shop. The only slight chance of trying anything will be next year when I'm in Honolulu, but I don't hold out much hope of a wide choice! David |
