The staple for headsets but not here by Robert W from Aguila AZ USA
Pros: It's a David Clark Cons: Not what you want in a quality Noise Cancel Headset Review: I don't think this headset is really designed to be a noise canceling headset. It is just a standard DC with some circuitry added. Try out several before buying. It may be that the more expensive are better.... this one time.

DC H10-13X Review by Brian from Tierra Verde FL USA
Pros: Good passive noise reduction, effective ENC. Durable. Cons: Like all David Clark headsets, it needs Oregon Aero upgrades to be suitable for all-day use Review: I purchased this headset for use in a Citation Ultra, to replace a DC H20-10XL. The 20-10XL couldn't be fitted with Oregon Aero ear cushions, and the Oregon Aero fabric covers kept coming off. Also, due to the type of headband used on the 20-10XL, it was a bit too tall for me to use in the Ultra. Even with the seat at its lowest position, I kept bumping into the headliner. The 10-13X doesn't have any of those problems. Plus, it has the setting to turn it off when the aircraft avionics are off, which is a real battery saver. (The later 20-10XLs may have had that feature, but mine did not.) I didn't go with the DC X11, due to the number of bad reviews. Also, I was concerned about the passive noise attenuation of the X11 in case the battery failed, a number that David Clark steadfastly refused to disclose. So I went with the tried-and-true style, and, once you put the Oregon Aero SoftTop, cushions and covers on it, it works great!
