For me, DC OneX is the best of the lot. I have 2. One for work, one for the Baron. The work one lasted 8 years before I needed to send it in for a new cord. Free, too. Smallest full over the ear ANC and tough as hell.
LS for the wife, light and bulky af.
Bose don't fit my head nor the wife's. And they're over hyped. Not as durable. But, folks love them I guess. I have an A20 for pax, but I don't see the attraction.
I regularly use Bose A30, DC One-X and Delta Zulus in piston planes: I have at least 500 hours in each headset. Pick the one you think looks the coolest or fits the best- none of the three stands out as superior.
I think you’re spot on. The One-X is a fantastic ANR headset and one I only bought after researching this exhaustively. It’s miles beyond the old David Clamps. Definitely recommend.
I’ve used both the David Clark DC-ONE X and Bose A20 quite a bit. I found the DC to be slightly more comfortable, but a little heavier. The ear cups seem a bit larger on the DCs which is why I found them more comfortable. The DCs have a metal headband, and the Bose headbands felt like plastic.
I found both to be comfortable for long periods and the ANR to be very much on par with each other. Honestly, I’ve never worn one wishing I had the other pair on.
I was surprised with the DCs music quality… which I would never use while flying, of course.
The DCs feel more solid than the Bose, but other than that, you’ll be happy with either. Unless, of course, you care what other people think. I’ve noticed come people think the Bose are better; pretty comparable in my experience.
