| You want to know what really makes the BoseX headset? Get those soft cloth earseal covers that they sell at every pilot shop, slip em over the bose leather ear-seals (the covers are big, so they overlap over the earpiece), and the combination makes for the most comfortable headset you can use in a loud airplane. Just FYI for those of you looking to buy his headset. |

| Virtually all ANR headsets tell you NOT to use those covers as they make a poor seal for the earcup, which is necessary for good noise cancellation. I tried those soft covers ONCE on my DC H10-13XLs and the ANR performance went down the tubes.

| How do you like the 10-13XL model? Is it basically the 10-13.4 with ENC?

| Yeah, only with a different mike boom. I love it. As I've said several times here, if I'd have bought the Bose and then tried the DCs, I'd have been pissed. As it worked out, I tried the Bose after buying the DCs, then did a little happy dance over the cash I saved.

| Excellent . I've got one on the way. Tried the X11's - and they were amazing...until you put sunglasses on. Then they were not the way they should be. I love the normal 13.4's - and can't wait for the ENC addition. With the tight fit of the 13.4's, I'm guessing the 13X's won't have the bleed problem the X11's had.

| I had the exact same problem. Sent them back....got the Bose X, and I couldn't be happier with them.

| For whatever reason, they did not negatively affect the noise cancelling performance of my headset. But I see what you mean, nevertheless. |
