Does anyone know of a good website that has independent reviews on all the Dave Clarke models, the only reviews I can find are either on the David Clarke website or on pilot supply websites but none of these seem to be independent or detailed enough to make my decision. I am not really interested in the detailed specifications, I am after reviews from pilots who have used them (comfort, features, weight etc..) ideally comparing the pro's and con's between the different models. David Clark's aren't the most comfortable, but they are probably the most durable and are backed by a company with a legendary reputation for customer service. I have a relatively old model, the H10-20, and prefer it to the newer H10-13.4 (I think that's it) model. Bose is definitely the way to go if you have the money and want active noise cancellation. My Cherokee just isn't loud enough to warrant any type of ANR... I've tried many of them, and the extra quiet wasn't worth the price paid to get it. However, airplanes with larger engines or less cabin insulation would probably cause me to re-evaluate. I've tried the LightSpeed sets and they are an excellent value for active noise cancellation. They are comfortable and work well, and although the noise cancellation and audio quality isn't quite as good as the Bose, they're also about $700 less expensive. However, they are pretty much an all-plastic headset and -- the deal-killer for me -- they are just too darn big for my airplane. It was easy enough to lower the seat and work around scraping the top of the cabin, but my lateral space is at a premium as well, and the large cups with the thick foam made the headset just too bulky for my airplane.

Jonathan,
they are pretty much an all-plastic headset No, they are not. The metal is covered by plastic, that's all. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
