I'm looking to replace my DC 13.4's which I've had for over 7 years. They have served me very well, and I highly recommend them. Although now it seems like one side is beginning to sound louder than the other. The volume adjuster works to increase the sound level on this side, but not the other. Has anyone experienced this problem before. When I turn down the good side, it seems likethe other side gets louder, but thats an illusion I think, of bringing the sound level down to parity. Does DC refurbish headsets to the extent that I would receive new wiring, eletronics and testing, or is it more cosmetic, like foam, gel seals, etc.
Aside from trying to salvage these (I won't be throwing them away, just using them as an extra pair), I am interested and anxious to try out a pair of ANR headsets. There seems to be a lot of variety and since they're gonna cost me a pretty penny I would like to solicit some advice on what you find best in terms of noise reduction, clarity and comfort.
I have done a search of the board, but it seems all the threads are kind of old, mostly when the ANR became popular a few years ago. Since there are probably some new models out and those who have owned them for a while might be able to lend some advice.
Most of my flying right now is done in noisy prop planes with crappy avionics. Eventually I would like to carryover my ANR headsets into something bigger so I don't mind getting something that would be versatile down the road.
Thanks.
