I took the cheap route and purchased a ANR DIY kit for my David Clark H10-13.4 headset.
The kit cost $99 and I like to tinker, thus I thought I'd give it a go.
Our company had a set of panel mounted Bose ANR headsets and my plan was to compare sound quality between my $99 DIY ANR headset and the $1K Bose ANR headset.
When I finished the install I compared the DC 10-13.4 with the DIY ANR kit to the Bose headset, and found they were equally good, and I could not detect any difference between the two when the ANR was activated. I actually prefer the DC fit better.
I've been flying with them over the past 6 years and have had no problems yet.
All that said, the DC DIY ANR is more cumbersome with the added cord and control box, but in the words of Si Roberson "Hey" for $99 it cant be beat!
