No other issues. Noise cancelling works great.
Thanks for the feedback!

In what type of operational environment (eg. flight instruction, turboprob AOC/NCC, jet ops, airline..)?
Any other issues with them, other than the ear cups needing replacement (which I would consider “normal” if the ops dictates high usage)?

5 years in to using the headset the earseals have started disintegrating.
I’ll research my options for (earseals) replacement.

Just some info. for those who might need to send DC headsets for repair.
I had the problem mentioned above and shipped the two pairs for repair under warranty on December 10th.
The path involved sending them via courier to Bulgaria (the original vendor), then they sent them to DC UK who in turn sent them to DC USA repair center.
The reverse process took place for the return path.
I received back the repaired two pairs of headsets at no cost on February 19th !
That is 11 weeks waiting.
Ok the vendor being in Bulgaria and Christmas break in between did not help but gee was that some waiting !
Lesson learned: make sure no weight stress is put on the cable (with the battery pack) hanging form the headsets when using them.
I have two sets of Pro-X (more info on it is in other thread). One has dead electronics and practically is useless (I don’t remember warranty conditions maybe I’ll send it for replacement) while the other is OK and I use it but I would never buy it again and wouldn’t recommend it to anybody.

I am very happy with them and I have had 0 issues.
An update on the One-X headsets since the above statement is not valid anymore !
Some time in the 2nd year of ownership the two pairs of the One-X headsets I have in the aircraft must have been handled a bit rough by tossing them around in the aircraft (not by me! I suspect some specific friend passengers!)
The WEIGHT of the batteries hanging on the cable must be taken in to consideration because it seems the connection to the earpiece is inadequate to handle the weight of the batteries in case of “rough” handling. As you can see below the cables were pulled off in both pairs I have and in the one pair the microphone connection was lost.
Luckily they are under 5 year warranty and I sent them off to David Clark for repair/replacement.
I have Pro-X and I wouldn’t recommend it. I bought it because I got good deal and read good reviews but unfortunately before actually comparing it with Bose. Comfort-wise it’s OK but Bose is simply superb in overall noise cancelation. I hope that One-X is better.
Thanks
