They say the heat breaks them down....I guess it’s true! But just to be sure I will test them more here this winter

Flew with the X?s For 5 years. Had DC 10.13X prior to the Bose. Recently upgraded yo the A20 and love them. Drowns out my Rotax like I?m flying a glider. LOL, not sure if that?s a good thing or not, but I?m very pleased with the A20. Flying back from CA to NY, getting a phone call while enroute, was a new experience for me. Love the Bluetooth.

The Aviation X was first launched in 1998 - it's now a 20+ year old design. The A20's were first launched in 2010 and was updated in 2015, so it's design is a good 10-15 years newer. The A20 has better active attenuation, so it's significantly quieter. It had new/redesigned microphones, new drivers, stronger design (yokes), and is slightly wider, so IMO, they are more comfortable. Pretty sure the battery life is also better, but don't quote me. I always keep mine in my case and never leave them in the sun, and have never replaced a pair of cushions. Your mileage may vary.

Bose X vs A20
I fly with 2-X?s and 2-A20?s in our -10 and we recently upgraded the X?s to the Oregon Aero ear muffs at Oshkosh. It made them almost as comfortable as the A20?s. Definitely worth it if your going to keep the X?s.
I also think th me A20?s are a little more quiet and comfortable than the X?s overall.

The Bluetooth feature on the A20 makes it a home run, paired with my cell phone it works quite well.

Any thoughts on the A20 vs. DC ONE-X?
I've been a DC user for 30 years (both H10-60 and H10-13XL) and have been very happy with both their products and customer service. That said, I also had a Bose Aviation X for awhile when I was instructing in the T-6, as the DC's ANR wasn't a match for the R-1340.
I'm planning to try them both at SnF next spring, but any early input would be appreciated.

If you are talking of DC Pro-X with smaller cups I had an opportunity to test those. No comparison with A20. Noise will beat you up by the end of the day.

I think the ONE-X are the bigger cups for GA.
I use the Pro-x in the work airplane and they are nice and light for long flights.
But they aren’t good for the RV.

No, not the Pro-X, the ONE-X. I hate both in-ear and on-the-ear products and only ever wear over-the-ear headsets.
