Review:
I have had David Clark noise canceling headsets in the past and they worked very well. These One-X headsets are quite an improvement. Much lighter, more comfortable ear cups and the noise canceling technology is vastly improved.

DC One-X ANR Headset-Dual Plugs
By Learjet 60 / TBM 900 Operator
from Victoria Australia
on Friday, June 10, 2016
Pros: It's a good solid no no nonsence ANR Headset
Cons: None found at this point in time,not that I expect any.
Review:
I have just got my hands on the new ANR from the David Clark stable, the DC ONE-X. What can I say, except that as it's from David Clark, what is there to say about it. Afterall is it not a fact the David Clark is the premium Aviation Headset providor to the Military forces all over the world. Could it not be that the Military knows a good reliable product,when they see it? Now down to my new headset. I have been already giving it a good workout, in our Learjet 60 and TBM 900. I am not going to go into comparing a whole lot different features, or whose brand does better or worse, at the various noise cancelling features,or whose has better Blutooth features,or phone connectivity etc....Face the fact that David Clark headsets, be they passive or ANR are all TSO approved and are the only certifiable headsets approved for commercial operations all over the world. Many of the other producers of passive,or ANR (or ENC ) headsets may have all the bells and whistles, but unlike David Clark,are not TSO approved. That says something I reckon about the quality and back up service that is the hallmark of David Clarks supply,and service to the aviation community worldwide

Better than Bose
By Matt
from North Carolina
on Friday, May 25, 2018
Pros: excellent passive noise cancellation if batteries die
Cons: none
Review:
I have about 900 hours on these. I tested them side by side with Bose A20. The noise cancellation is the same, however, if the batteries die in the Bose, I found it hard to hear anything. With that being said, the passive noise cancellation from the snug fit of the David Clarks makes hearing yourself and coms very manageable. There have been a few times I've forgotten to turn the noise cancellation on.

This latest DC headset is the best
By Gerard
from Christchurch, New Zealand
on Thursday, March 30, 2017
Review:
Have used many different headsets over my 43yr aviation career and this latest DC headset is the best. Very good noise cancelling qualities and also comfort to wear.
I fly ATR 42 aircraft in PNG and I certainly don't feel as fatigued as prior to getting the DC headset. Very noticeable in the first couple of days. Tried wearing the company supplied non-cancelling headset and the different was amazing.
Thanks for the product.

Pros: Very Quiet, an amazing bluietooth connection.
Cons: Onthe pricey sde.
Review:
This is the best headset I've owned so far in 48 years of flying. It's quiet, comfortable and works like's it should. It folds into a small compact unit and easily fits in your flight bag. The ANR is amazing...it really cuts the noise out.

By Billygoat

Pros: Comfortable, durable, effective
Cons: Can't find one
Review:
I have enjoyed the ONE-X ANR for some months now and find they are everything I expected. David Clark lives up to its excellent reputation. Transmissions and receptions are very clear and they are quiet!I have owned BOSE in the past and I like the DC better although you can't go wrong with either. The dollar savings on the DC's is nice.
I have NOT tried the Bluetooth feature so I cannot comment on that aspect.

I love that David Clarks are really the only quality headset made in the USA.
By James at KBLI
from Bellingham
on Tuesday, December 01, 2020
Pros: Light, very quiet, made in the USA, compact, superior customer service
Cons: I have no complaints
Review:
I looked at Bose A20 and Light Speed. Light Speed felt like poor quality. Bose felt good but I learned that they are note even made in the USA. Bose is Mexico and Light Speed is China. At $650 or more, I expect a USA made product. After testing them all, the David Clark One-X (which is all made in the USA) was real winner. I called each company. David Clark was the easiest to talk with. The headset is lighter than the competition, ear cushions are amazing and the sound quality very impressive. The cockpit becomes very quiet when the David Clarks are on. They fold up very nicely and a small pouch. I am very happy which this product.

Review:
As have all new David Clark products I have used over the years, their quality is unmatched. Every function is easy to understand and use including the ANR, bluetooth and volume controls. What's more, it feels really good to be able to buy and American-made product of this level of sophistication and quality. As an aside, David Clark has always had outstanding and easy to access warranty service coverage, as they stand behind their products. I would use no other headset!

DC One-X ANR Headset-Dual Plugs
By
on Thursday, July 07, 2016
Review:
Just an update,to my last.I have given my DC One-X,a really good workout, since I received it. As I said in my last review, I have had no issues with it's operations yet, nor do I expect any. Afterall it's a David Clark, what else is there to say about it. The same cannot be said in relation to the AKG AV 100, which one of my staff purchased, only six months ago. He has had nothing but problems with it, in relation to coming apart (headband) and failure with the inbuilt lights in the earcups. The batteries do not last long enough, so he has to carry spare batteries in flight,incase the others fail. You can use the AKG AV100 without batteries, in the Passive mode, but the audio quality, is a bit hit and miss at best. As to backup service support, well that's another matter, if you live here "Downunder",in Australia.

Excellent Headset!
By Braiden
from Maricopa AZ USA
on Friday, November 10, 2017
Pros: Sturdy construction, excellent ANR/ music quality, lightweight, small footprint, etc.
Cons: Cords seem a little short at times (depending on plane model).
Review:
I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and packaging of the DC One X. The construction seems very sturdy and all of the components are great quality. I have used the headset for approximately 100 hours now and am very pleased with its performance. The BE-99 is the loudest plane I have ever flown by far (due to poor sealing around the crew door right next to my head), and this headset takes care of the noise very well. The music quality is pretty awesome, and the ability to turn off the automatic muting is much appreciated. I have only had to change the batteries once over the 100 hours and the second set is still going strong. The included control box clip is a very nice add! Highly recommended headset!

Works well
By James
from Monroe GA USA
on Wednesday, February 22, 2017
Pros: Compact, light, comfortable
Cons: Bright blinking lights, Carry case too small but works.
Review:
Worked well but could use improvement. The Bluetooth feature when activated blinks with no way to dim it, very annoying as I fly primarily at night. A simpler way to dim the power light would be nice, why does the power and bluetooth lights have to be so bright? (Maybe an old fashioned slide switch for power?) Also, a steady on light (very dim) would be nice because blinking lights in the cockpit are a bad thing that need attention! (good rule: never get used to flashing lights in the cockpit) The carry case works but over time the cord will suffer from having to be bent and stuffed repeatedly.
