I had an older (mid-90's) set of Davey Clark head squeezer medieval torture device (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!) and audio device. Very uncomfortable, very noisy, very unusable. Having just dropped a chunk of change to buy an airplane I didn't really feel like spending a grand on a new headset for my PAX, I was planning to continue to use my old late-90's original Lightspeed ANR headsets for myself even though the thickness of the crown on the headset was hitting the canopy (I'm a shade over 6').
I ordered the parts from Headsets Inc, to re-do my DC head clampers with ANR, stereo, and got new ear seals and a lambswool crown pad. Got friendly, quick answers to my pre-buy questions from the guys at Headsets, dropped about $276 including shipping, and got my kit in about 3 days. Took less than 90 minutes once I had my tools out to install the kit.
Headset is very comfortable (I did straighten the metal frame slightly) and is much quieter even without the ANR turned on. With the ANR turned on its a great headset. So much so, that I'm going to buy an el-cheapo headset just for the frame/cups and order the same parts again from Headsets and build me another set and relegate my Lightspeeds to emergency backup.
I just wish the little power pack box also had a jack for music input or cell phone connection.
