David Clark DC PRO-X2 Hybrid Electronic Noise-Cancelling Aviation Headset

I use these daily as a regional airline pilot. Specifically in the CRJ, these work great. I was looking for something that packs up small and lightweight for the pilot bag. These do the trick. Very comfortable after hours of use, in fact I hardly notice I am wearing them. They clamp down with just the right amount of force, and I can wear sunglasses without digging into the side of my head due to the smaller profile of the ear muffs like I have had trouble with Lightspeed Zulu's in the past. Noise reduction works great and it's hard to believe these are not over the ear muffs they are so good. If you are thinking about purchasing these, just buy them, they are worth the money.I cannot comment on how quiet they are in GA aircraft, but I imagine it would be fine as well.

I recently purchased these to replace my Telex 850s. While these are more pricey, they are still cheaper than a lot of other ANRs. So far, I find them a lot more comfy than the 850s with much better noise attenuation. They might not be as comfy as a set of over-ear models, but it's been a nice step up for me. My ears don't hurt from the clamping force. The headband is very nice and comfy. They are quiet. And they are small enough to not take up too much room in my flight bag. I do have to worry about having batteries on me all the time now, but I guess that's the biggest draw back.

This is my second pro x headset and I really like them. Very light and comfortable and very quiet.

I have been using this headset now for six months as a B737 captain. Noise cancellation is very good and battery life is good. It is comfortable enough to wear for hours a day with no problem. My one big complaint is that the top head piece is relatively heavy and the headset falls forward off my head when I look down and backward off my head when I look up. It has been very annoying. My solution is to wear the headset over a ball cap to keep it in place. Just my experience with it.

Well I wasn’t able to test the headset on aircraft, because I had to return it immediately. Recieved a device with damaged bluetooth controller and screws are removed or broken. Controller case that protects interior circuits is loosened.I may order a new one soon; it feels nice and comfortable when you put on.Not sure about the ANC since it’s not a over-ear headset and doesn’t provide passive noise-cancelling, maybe if you are looking for a premium noise-cancellation; you should look for over-ear versions instead of on-ear.I’ll add further information when I get the new one.

I fly an Embraer Legacy 600. Great aircraft but they are not known for having the quietest flight deck. For the last five years I've used a Lightspeed Sierra ANR, as I felt it was just as important to have the passive, over-the-ear protection as it was the active noise canceling. During this time, I've also had the opportunity to try the original DC Pro X, as well as both the older and newer gen Bose headsets.I did not find the ANR of the first gen DC Pro X to quite be up to snuff when it came to canceling out the wind noise on the flight deck. The Bose both worked well, but their center hinge was extremely uncomfortable for me after anything over a couple hours. The Lightspeeds did an admirable job of quieting things down AND were tolerable on those occasional five+ hour legs, and ten hour days.This bring us to the new Pro X2. Out of the box I took them on a recent trip that started with a four hour west coast run, followed by another hour and a half to Arizona and they were outstanding. Comfortably light with no clamp effect, excellent sound clarity, and noise canceling at least as good as their more expensive rivals. The wind noise up front may have been slightly greater than my old over-the-ear Sierras, but if so it was barely noticeable. Finally, no complaints from my co-pilot regarding hissing or other noise through the intercom. All in all, quite satisfied.I know in this day and age the DC/Bose rivalry is like Ford V Chevy. I just can't say that the Bose are significantly better than the DCs, and they're definitely not three-hundred-bucks better. It's DC for me.

I need them I love them!

My daughter recently started fight school. She loves them She had been using my husband 20 + yr old DC sets. They were heavy. These are much lighter and with the noise canceling feature , much easier than to hear airport operations and talked to and hear instructors.
