Great review. My Bose A20's are 11yrs old and about on, what feels like, their last legs. I had an FO that had the Pro X2's and he let me try them on at cruise. I was initially pleasantly surprised at how comfy and quiet they were. I think I will be purchasing them in the coming week. Thanks for the great review!
Good day! Thank you for your review, it helped me to make the final decision of which light-weight active headset to purchase. I received it a few days ago, and have not yet been able to check it in the aircraft, however, I already have some things to mention. 1. Super comfortable, the clamping force is next to none compared to others, even Telex 750 has more pressure than DC Pro X2. 2. Excellent build quality, plastic parts don't feel cheap and crappy. It has, however, one pretty annoying design flaw that I have already noticed. It tends to slowly slide off of my head when looking down, or sliding off fast when I tilt the head down quickly. In my aircraft, the FMC is located quite low on the pedestal, as well as the radio freqs. has to be entered into the FMC so I need to tilt down quite often and I already see this as an annoying problem. The problem is even more pronounced if I adjust the microphone little bit further away from my lips. I have tried to adjust the headband but it doesn't make much of a difference. What I think the problem is, is that the headband cushion has almost no friction against my head, it's a bit too smooth. If you have any possibility to reach out to David Clark, please let them know this. My suggestion is to make a cushion with more friction, I'd definitely buy that! If you have any feedback from them, please please let me know! Cheers Martins
I'm on CRJ-700 and 900 - arguably as loud as the 737 NGs. Sometimes I forget to turn on the active noise cancelling, and recognize it immediately when we start rolling down the runway. These are definitely better than the Telex 750s but still not enough without the active noise cancelling.
