To add my own noise to the mix, since I lost my Telex 50's in an accident and have recently acquired a Pitts S2S, (Oh, way fun, such a JOY!), I decided to purchase a reconditioned Lightspeed 20XL ANR headset. Much cheaper, works as well even in a louder environment than my former Pitts. Not as cushy as the Telex, but equally effective. According to what I hear, this model of Lightspeed is far superior in loud cockpits than newer ANR Lightspeed models. I first heard this from one of their engineers, who shall go nameless, and then from another source I trust (Steve Wolf). Works for me.....
