I'm doing some headset shopping for my recently-completed RV-8. To put this into perspective, I've never owned an ANR headset and I'm pretty happy using my 22-year-old David Clark H10-40s with gel earseals.
I used the Bose Aviation X during transition training, and it was awesome. But I don't think I'm going to be flying enough to justify a $1000 headset.
I bought a new Lightspeed QFRXCc for $300, figuring I couldn't go wrong. I like the headset okay, but it doesn't work so well when I'm wearing sunglasses. It seems like any little gap between my head and the earseals renders the ANR pretty much useless. Also, the audio quality of my own transmissions seems a little muffled when compared with the David Clarks.
I'm thinking about trying a reconditioned Lighspeed 20XLc for $350. Can anyone report on how well that headset works with sunglasses?
I've read all the reviews on these headsets and the other options. I'm looking for something that I can put over my head (as opposed to in my ears), works with sunglasses, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks in advance for any info,
