I have a Telex Stratus 50-D for myself and a Telex Stratus 30XT for a passenger. Either one will make you look like you should be working on the deck of an aircraft carrier. But hey, how many people can see you while flying in a 150!
The 50-D is very comfortable and I have worn it in temperatures above 100F. Passive noise reduction is excellent and sometimes I forget to turn on the ANR.
I originally bought a Telex Stratus 30 for passengers but I didn’t like the type of plastic covering used on the ear cushions. I returned the headset for the Stratus 30XT which has cushions like the 50-D.
The only Bose headset I have worn was a well-used one with worn-out cushions. I always thought David Clark headsets were uncomfortable. When I have worn Lightspeeds, the seal between the cushion and my head would seem to open up whenever I turned my head slightly. Then noise would increase.
I suppose the main reason I bought the Telex was because I had a Telex headset about 40 years ago. Of course, that was before ANR headsets were invented.
The best advice is to try different ones to see which work best for you.
