I use the H10-13s (stereo version of the 13.4) myself. They claim to have
23 dB noise reduction. Maybe that just isn't sufficient for your
situation?

One thing I found is that full contact is needed between the ear seals and
my head. So if I am wearing sunglasses that can be an issue because
they create a small gap where the sunglasses "legs" are between the seals
and my temple. There is a noticeable difference when I wear sunglasses
V.S. not.

It is also possible that you and I just have different levels of
sensitivity to sound. I probably have at least some hearing damage from
all the rock concerts I attended through the years ;).

Blade.

by Zulu, do you mean the headset made by LightSpeed?

I have tried quite a few, including David Clark, Telex, Bose and Zulu.

Some times, I have tried 2 different ones on the same flight for comparison

The Zulu works best for me

Hi Skot
I heard the same thing about the Bose high end headsets. Good thing too, the
Bose was even more expensive.
Whats your hearing worth?

Affirmative.

But that is my very personal case, and I believe that Bose /( The pioneer in
noise cancellation) has come up with a newer addition

the issue I run into is that there is a frequency difference between 4-cycle
and 2-cycle engines and many noise canceling headphones don't cover the
2-cycle range well.

Could be, but I use the Zulus with a Hirth and with an HKS and they work
well

good to know, I have a 3-cylinder hirth.

I fly the Hirth the most
But I have a cochlear implant, so it maight not be the best setup for you.
You go ahead and try them all

I have some friends with normal hearing and they also prefer the Zulus

As a matter of fact, I also own a Moyes Dragonfly with a Rotax 582 (fully
open) and you should never use a ANR in such an environment ! It makes
matter worse !

I use a setup from an English guy. It consists of a fully enclosed helmet
and some very clever electronics but no ANR . It is expensive but worthwhile
for me !
