I used to fly with a David Clark headset and loved it--comfortable, quiet, and virtually indestructible. Then my company switched to Bose. I've been using a Bose for the past several years and it's an overpriced plastic piece of junk! The Bose ear cushions crumble and get black stuff all over your ears and head. The spring in the top of the headset causes a constant squeezing pressure on your head that hurts after a few hours, and you cannot adjust it. The plastic wishbone piece that holds the ear cup has a metal clip in it, which causes the plastic to crack on every one I've seen. Mine is holding on, but I have seen a lot come completely apart for my colleagues. The noise canceling in the Bose is good, but occasionally you get shocked in the ear--yes, shocked! I'm spending my own money and going back to DC's. Those babies are bulletproof and do not require batteries...My DC headset arrived a few weeks ago and works wonderfully! I had forgotten how great David Clark was. It was quiet and the sound quality was crisp and clear. No more weird battery box dangling off the cord like my old Bose, no more impedance problems when two headsets were plugged into the same comm net--it is great! On long flights, I don't get the headache from having my head squeezed like I did with the Bose. Plus, KC Headsets had the best price I've seen anywhere and terrific customer service. On top of that, they have a 2-year warranty on the headsets they sell, at no additional charge. I saved a lot of money and got a great headset!
