shags_j Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Has anyone had any experience with these? Why are they so much cheaper than say a lightspeed? http://www.clearprop.com.au/headsets/anr-headsets/flightcom-denali-d90anr/ Cheers, Shags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 One thing could be is that they don't force you into selling them for a price that they dictate. Like Bose for example, they will not supply you unless you sell them for the price they tell you to...it's the same as Apple devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Have you used them Ian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZoos Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have the bose and while it is Ridiculously expensive, it is very very good.....having said that I have used a few home modified ANR sets (Clark) and they where very nice to use as well.

VFR Pilot Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I can't decide between the bose A20 and the Lightspeed PFX. Unless you know people that have them, you can't try the out. I have a hearing problem so I want a top quality set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I used a pair for a few trips, and liked the lightness, low noise and comfort. They didn't put my head in a vice grip like Dave Clarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Old K used to have a set of Denali ANR shags. I think he was happy with them. (He is crook at the minute but I guess he will be back on here sometime or another!) He was trying to sell them for a very reduced price, but I think he got rid of them. He has a quiter cab now and is back to PNR. I run the lightspeed Zulu and I do enjoy them, but talking to ALL the spray/ag operators around here they all swear by the Bose, they say the Zulus don't last like the Bose. I think it depends how often you will fly, if only flying irregularly I think any ANR would be better than none. VFR pilot if you have a hearing issue I would definately be visiting some airfields to try and score a test before spending a lot of dough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi303 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Somewhat off topic and hijacking the thread, Can you get microphone only sets? Being deaf and using a hearing aid I'm far better off hooking on a shoe connection direct to my hearing aid and setting the aid to input aux only. Which still leaves a noise cancelling microphone being needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not sure, but I bought a set of PFX and not happy with them.. I can't decide between the bose A20 and the Lightspeed PFX. Unless you know people that have them, you can't try the out.I have a hearing problem so I want a top quality set. I just bought a set of PFX, and I am thinking I might sell them. Make me an serious offer and they are yours. BUT, let me say this, when I first started flying, I researched headsets and ended up with buying a set of telex stratus 50d's. The Stratus 50d annoy me because the ear cups dont last, but they are by far the best headset I have used. I have flown with bose, DC, telex and lightspeed now, and I will put the telex at the top of the list if it was not for the earcups. Anyway, I hate the PFX, and I only continue to use them because I wasted so much money on them. I think my last flight sold me, time to go back to the telex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I also had a set of Bose and the Telex digital 50D. In comparing the two I hated the Bose. I wear glasses and I found the bose hurting my ears on long flights because of the glasses i wore, they also a gave honking sound at times when the seal to my head broke because of my glasses, really annoying when flying. But, they were light and small I sold the bose and purchased the more expensive Telex...WOW, what a sound. I liken them to be able to listen to a full symphony in perfect silence from any outside noise. But, they are a very big headset than the bose and a bit heavier. I have tried the Denali's on and found them very light and extremely comfortable. But, i only used them to hear my own voice with a headset tester and whilst that was brilliant, i can't say what they sound like in the air with radio transmissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
