Interestingly, the 2 DCs I got for 'free' from the seller of my Maule
still provide the best passive performance - though I think they've been
upgraded with soft sealing rings. But 2 hours in, they are heavy and
they do clamp firmly.

Perhaps I have a David Clark shaped head, but I've never found DCs
particularly clampy. I've flown 6 hour legs with them. They came with
the gel seals - I've borrowed headsets with the foam seals and I dunno
how anyone puts up with the foam ones!

If you don't want "clampy" headsets try the Bose QC2 with the UFlyMike
adapter. The most comfortable headset I've ever worn. Not as quiet as
the Bose X, but more comfortable and certainly less $$$
