David ClarkDC PRO-X2 Hybrid Electronic Noise-Cancelling Aviation Headset

I need them I love them!

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.

For the past 25 years flying EMB-145s (very loud) and B737NG/Max (loud) I’ve been using a Telex Airman 750 with foamy earplugs underneath to good effect but finally got sick of the earplug thing. Bought the DCPRO-X2s two weeks ago and after 37 hours of flying with them I can say that I’m very pleased.Very good noise attenuation (way better than Telex 850 I tried) and great comms with ATC and the F/O over the intercom. I haven’t used the Bluetooth other than to try it briefly but the sound quality of the music was pretty good too. Still on the 1st set of batteries (2800 mAh rechargeables). I haven’t tried the set in my Mooney, but as it’s not designed for that sort of thing, I don’t expect great success there.I was initially worried about the reviews that mentioned it sliding off the head when looking up/down but I haven’t had that issue (I’m follicly challenged, so ball cap during the day and bare mellon at night). I may have just the right lumps on my noggin, so your mileage may vary.DC makes quality stuff and they stand behind it. (I still have and use my H10 13.4s which I’ve had since before there were panel mounted GPSs in piston singles). I never write reviews but I’m so pleased with this set that I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in.

Good value. Lightweight and easy to pack. Love the bluetooth and the noise canceling.

I recently purchased a set of Pro X2 headsets less than a week ago, and initially, they were working perfectly. However, I am now encountering a problem where they no longer power on. Whenever I attempt to turn them on, they immediately shut off.

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 had a DC pro X, original model. Very old. This is its replacement. No night mode on DC pro X. Never had an issue with that headset though. I love the night mode on the pro x2 and hope it lasts as long as I believe it will just like it's predecessor did! Works great in B737.

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.
