Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: ANR Headsets" 06-11-02, 22:22z  Greetings Cary: > Can anyone explain the qualitative difference between a less expensive > ANR headset such as Lightspeed and the more expensive models such as > David Clark and ultimately Bose? I'm sure you've seen all of the decibel numbers used in the ads etc.. In the end, because personal items like headsets and jockey shorts are so subjective, the best recommendation I can give you is to try them all and see which set has the best price/performance/fit/value for you. Most of the higher end manufacturers offer free trials or will accept returns within a certain period. So that's really the best way to go if you don't mind them holding your money while you decide. We use the Denali ANR's exclusively. We did the trial thing with several sets from manufacturers from LightSpeed to Sennheizer(sp?) and found that while some "sounded" better, they didn't sound hundreds of dollars better. For us, we found the Denali's to be the best value on the price/performance curve. Just FYI, we sell them in the Pilot Shop. Good luck and let us know which you finally decide on.
