Finally got breaks in the weather and my schedule that coincided.
I am in love with my new DC passive headset!!! The noise reduction is quite acceptable. The big deal is that these things are so light that you can hardly tell you have them on!!
My set has the newer style headband and ear cups. Older DC's (I used them a lot in my buddy's 185) seemed to clamp my head to hard. This new style is pretty incredible. I also really like the sound quality and the way they have mounted the mic. Well worth the $313 pluss tax at my local FBO.
