Great for the B777 and B737
- By B.C. from Newport Beach CA on Sunday, June 07, 2015
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I have one of the David Clark Pro X headsets that I use in the B777. I know there are lots of 737 pilots looking for suitable headsets since the 737 is a bit on the noisy side, but not noisy enough to warrant something like a Bose A20. The usual airline standard Plantronics doesn't really attenuate noise and in the past, 737 pilots often added a mic to the regular Bose music headset since that was a cheaper solution to a "real" aviation headset (I call it a"FrankenBose"). The David Clark Pro X is perfect for noisy 737's. There are more than a few pilots using them now on the relatively quiet 777. The DC is nice in that there is no left and right side, so it works well in the left or right seat without having to move the mic around. Its eaiosy to wear on the outboard ear with the inboard ear uncovered for cross cockpit communications. I usually just leave the ANR function turned off since the 777 isn't very noisy. If the other pilots conversation is getting too boring in cruise, putting on the headset over both ears is a wonderful relief. I can neither confirm, nor deny, that it has excellent BlueTooth music audio while high over the boring expanse of the North Pacific Ocean.

- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] Noise reduction is perfect for me. The $1100 Bose A20 NR was so good at NR that I couldn't hear other crew members without using "thru the headset intercom "or removing the headset. The Pro-X ANR is more comfortable and not too heavy even after 4-5 hour flight and I can hear others in the cockpit talk without removing the headset.

Great overall airline headset
- By 73_pilot from USA on Monday, October 06, 2014
- Pros: Comfort, ease of microphone positioning, clarity of ATC transmissions, compact storage
- Cons: Lower quality sidetone and Bluetooth, no cord management options
- Review:
[This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] The DC Pro-X is a great overall airline headset. I've owned mine for about 2 months now and love it. The ear cups are soft, it's really light, and you hardly know it's there after hours of flying. Plus there's no clamping like the Sennheiser-25 I had. The noise canceling and sound fidelity is about 85% of the quality of the Sennheisers but it's a more than fair trade off for comfort. The only downsides are the tinny-sounding sidetone on the intercom (B737) and the lack of cord clip. It's a big, bulky control module that just hangs down and pulls on the jacks. The Bluetooth works great, although it could be engineered to higher standards; it introduces a lot of static. The auto cutout feature should be made optional. It cuts out the music so much that I just finally turned it off, and only use bluetooth now while flying over isolated areas.
The comfort this headset delivers trumps all those things, however, and makes this one of the best headsets on the market, especially when it comes to value. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 20 Other people found this review helpful.

Great ANR Headset
- By Michael from Keller TX USA on Tuesday, August 26, 2014
- Pros: Quiet, comfortable, clear communications, sturdy construction
- Cons: none
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] The Pro-X ANR Headset is very comfortable. Solid David Clark construction. I fly the 737-800. The older aircraft without the vortex generators on the nose are quite noisy, especially at higher IAS. This cancels out almost all background noise, but I can still hear the F/O without much trouble. Very clear communications with adjustable volume (defaults to high when powered up). I really don't have any complaints. I would highly recommend this headset.

David Clark Pro- X Headset
- By Robin Parnaby from Melbourne/Victoria Australia on Saturday, August 10, 2013
- Pros: Another excellent David Clark product,then what else should we expect,from David Clark
- Cons: None really,when compared with my Sennheiser lightweight headsets
- Review:
[This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] Just received my David Clark Pro-X last week. I ordered it from David Clark
direct. Really good service I reckon, ordered it 3 weeks ago, delivered all the
way down under (Australia). I have used them whilst operating Beech
Kingair's Cessna Citations, and other corporate turbine and jet aircraft.
They also work very well in the high end area of GA aircraft as well, Bonanza's,
Cirrus etc....
8/14/13: Just an update on my Pro-X. I have just tried them while flying a Cessna Caravan, Kodiak, Pilatus PC12, TBM 850, and Piper Meridian. All I can add is that David Clark have really outdone themselves this time in producing an excellent light weight headset for General Aviation.

- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I've tried the Bose A20, Telex 850, and the Ligtspeed Sierra ANR headsets and while they were all very nice the Pro-X beat them all hand down. Super comfortable and light weight. ANR is great for a 737 NG. I really like the Bluetooth function. It works perfectly and they are priced mid-range so you are not breaking the bank. This is a great headset from David Clark so you know they will be durable. You have to try them if you are in the market for ANR headsets. Also the folks at mypilotstore.com were great. I returned my 850's and they shipped the Pro-X the same day. Thanks for the quick turn around.

Great Headset
- By Chris from Fleming Island FL USA on Thursday, August 21, 2014
- Pros: Cost. Lightweight. Bluetooth
- Cons:
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I tried the Bose, Telex, and Lightspeed ANR headsets before I settled on the David Clark's. While the other ones are top notch and great headsets the David Clark's were perfect for what I was looking for. Compact and lightweight (much smaller than the bigger Bose / Lightspeed). The Bluetooth syncs with my iphone or iPad easy and listening to music during a redeye is awesome. I'd recommend these headsets to anyone looking for good ANR and on a budget. Try them you will like them.

DC Quality
- By A320av8r from Charlotte, NC on Wednesday, March 25, 2015
- Pros: Noise attenuation, comfort.
- Cons: None
- Review:
[This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I have used the Telex 850 for several years on the A320 series aircraft. It is a good headset but it broke. I got the DC Pro-X after trying my F/O's on during a flight. I liked it so much that I immediately bought one too.
After a long 5 leg day on an A319, I realized that my ears were not ringing and my hearing was normal. I was definitely less fatigued.
The DC Pro-X is "the" next generation airline flightdeck headset. The attenuation is superb, the comfort is incredible and the construction is David Clark. As I stated earlier, the Telex 850 is good, but this is great. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 14 Other people found this review helpful.

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR...
- By Jimmy from Richmond VA USA on Friday, May 20, 2016
- Pros: Lightweight and compact, fold-up storage with carrying case, Great ANR noise reduction and Bluetooth
- Cons: Battery Life is about 40-50 hours and Bluetooth cuts out when ATC transmits or intercom is used but is how it supposed to work.
- Review:
[This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] David Clark does it again and ups the ante in ANR headsets.
I looked at the Bose A20 and Sennheiser headsets as a replacement for the Telex 850 Airman I have been using in the CRJ. The Telex 850 is nice but lacks ANR suppression at altitude with high speed wind noise. The Pro-X is much quieter than the 850 and with Bluetooth to boot.
The Pro-X came highly recommended from an Airbus Captain who was wearing it on a flight I jumpseated on and He let me try it. I was hooked instantly!
If you are looking for a great regional (CRJ) headset and don't want to pay a ton of $$$ for the above mentioned big name brands, please consider the D/C Pro-X. At only $695, this is a great price for a headset that IMHO is as just as good if not better than the A20. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 13 Other people found this review helpful.

Best I've owned
- By ROBERT from Brookhaven GA USA on Friday, September 30, 2016
- Pros: Very light and comfortable. Super quiet. Moderately priced.
- Cons:
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] Best headset I've owned. in 40 years of flying I have owned Telex, Plantronics, Sennheiser and Big David Clarks. This is the most comfortable I've used. The noise cancelling really works well. I can hear cockpit conversation even with the ear covered. I usually turn down the volume on the right ear so only noise cancelling is active on that ear. I hear ATC on the left.

Much better than the Sennhiezer
- By Jim from Coldspring TX USA on Monday, May 16, 2016

Works well in the 737
- By Douglas from Miami FL USA on Tuesday, May 06, 2014
- Pros: Simple enough a cave man could figure out how to use it.
- Cons: Battery powered and control device needs to be secured to something. I use a big rubber band to secure to the windowshade rail.
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I was looking for something between the over the ear noise canceling headsets and the earplugs I was using. We don't have a hot mic interphone system, so the premium over the ear headsets are too much and interfere with cockpit communication. This DC Pro-X is just right in the middle. Most of the time I can hear the other pilot just fine. If the other pilot doesn't talk too loudly, I can easily slide the one side back just a bit to the "sweet spot" that allows me to hear intercockpit communications and still have some noise cancellation.

Excellent Headset
- By A Customer from Evergreen CO USA on Thursday, January 21, 2016
- Pros: ANR, clear audio and good feedback
- Cons: Have to leave ear cup off one side to hear other crew
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] Bought to replace an older Sennheiser HMEC 45-KA that developed a hum near heated windshield. Recently transitioned from B777 to B787 so the noise cancelling is overkill but comm is very clear and it is very helpful while using HF with foreign RO's. I bought a 3.5mm adapter to use while deadheading and the ANR works very well, so now I leave my non aviation Bose ANR at home. Passive NR is a little too good for flight deck crew voice comm, so I resort to leaving one ear cup off one ear. Well made, quality product.

AMAZING headset
- By Goose from Miami FL USA on Thursday, August 24, 2017
- Pros: Exceptional ANR, light, doesn't have a lot of pressure, bluetooth, easy to store and comes with a great bag
- Cons: there's a green light that constantly blinks when the ANR is turned on. can be a pain when flying at night but all I do is turn it around and I cant even see it
- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] I've been using this headset for over 5 months now. I fly ERJ-170/175 and I really love them. I never owned DC, always had Lightspeed and really liked them but I kept having a problem with the Zulu 2 and the mic boom wouldnt stay in place and became a nuisance. I traded them in and used the credit for these headsets and glad I did. The ANR works great and the bluetooth is easier to use than the zulu 2.

- Review: [This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset] After flying with DCs during my 20 years in the AF, I knew fully well the quality and durability of DC products. Having said that, I have no idea why I waited so long to purchase these excellent headsets. They fit comfortably, they are well constructed, they sound amazing, they are sized perfectly, and they are a great value. I highly recommend these Dave Clarks for GA or commercial aviation.

Great headset
- By Josh from Fort Worth TX USA on Friday, April 22, 2022
- Pros: Light weight, great noise cancelling and easy to Bluetooth with other devices
- Cons: Doesn’t work well in piston aircraft due to the prop vibration interrupting the light seal these have on the ear.
- Review: This headset has worked great for me in 747, 757 and 767 aircraft. It’s light weight, has a great battery life, has great Bluetooth connectivity and comes in a soft case for ease of storage. The pad that rests on the top of my head does not hurt like other headsets have in the past. Also the mic is easily rotated forwards and backwards to accommodate the wearer’s preference.

[This review was written for the first generation Pro-X headset]
I took advantage of the headset exchange program to get my new Dave Clark Pro-X. Best thing I ever did.
I previously had the clarity Aloft Pro Plus headset which was good but I couldn’t get used to the in ear over long flights.
I was undecided between the DC and the Telex Airman 8 but after positive reviews from friends on the DC I took that. And what a great choice it was!
Super comfy design, with excellent speakers and microphone. Great noise reduction - an excellent investment for any pilot with years of flying ahead of them. Another friend tried mine and he immediately bought one himself.
Well done Dave Clark.
Mike and the team at mypilotstore we’re excellent in the exchange process. I live/work in the UAE so getting things sent to layover hotels was the only option which was no problem to them at all. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 1 Other people found this review helpful.
