Ditto on the ANR conversion. I recently converted my older (comfortable
friends) passive SoftCom stereo headset(s) to ANR using ANR Headsets
http://www.anr-headsets.com (I believe they are manufactured by Headsets Inc.)
conversion modules and I am quite satisfied. For less than $300.00  I
purchased
the conversion kit and  a new set of D/C gel ear pads. I spent a bit more than
an hour to install the first one and about 40 minutes for the second
installation. I recently flew with Fred Moreno in his 182 to Las Vegas (thanks
again Fred). He had a brand new set of Lightspeed 25XL for me to use and they
too were very nice after acclimating to the "clamping" effect, which quickly
became unnoticeable. It was a toss up for me. I did not try out the music part
of the Lightspeed, but music quality is not what I am after in a headset. If I
did not already own a set of headsets that I was happy with, I would consider
the purchase of  a set of  Lightspeed ANR.

[I didn't really focus on the 'clamping' forces of any of the headsets I
tried out, I guess my sub-7 hatsize precluded it from being an issue <g>.
I did notice that all of the gel-padded headsets really got the area around
my ear to sweating, I guess that's the price you pay for comfort and a
decent soft seal.           <Marv>         ]
