I posted this message a few days ago in the 'Buying or Selling' forum but didn't get a response. Anyone have experience with any of these ANR models while flying older jet equipment??? I don't mind spending the money if it will save my hearing in the long run. Thanks.

Hi all...
Just wondering if there are a few folks out there that have used some of the newer lightweight ANR headsets designed for commercial jets. I'm flying a 'classic jetliner' that was built before the designers cared much about cockpit noise and I'd like to have some hearing left by the time I retire. So far three models are frontrunners in my decision process. They are: Sennheiser 45-KA or 25-KA and Telex ANR 500. My main concerns are being able to hear the other crewmembers while eliminating wind/pack noise and comfort. Any input (good, bad, or indifferent) would be appreciated before I go laying out serious coin for something that I won't be happy with.
Fly safe.
