Sennheiser
Hey Jungle, I have used the Sennheisers (uncupped kind) for over 3 years now both on the lears and 727's.
For the money they are a pretty good headset without the sensation of a vice grip, at least up to 2 hours at which point my ears start to hurt from just the pads pressing on them.
Given the choice Bose would certainly be the pick, but if you don't have Bose money these headsets rank a nice second. The only problem is in the extreme sound ranges. They don't do much on a turboprop like a Saab, freq too low on the props. They also don't do too well on the high end like very loud wind noise e.g. going Mach .85 in the 727. However, they do get everything in between very well. I guess it's a Mach .60-.80 headset.
The battery life is great. They advertise 60 hours and that is about right. I usually change the 2 AA batteries every 6 weeks or so (approx. 80 hrs of use) turning them off for the taxi. The battery pack isn't too bad, there is usually a place to hang it that works well.
Hope that helps.. Later.
