Noise reduction kit for David Clarks

Post by WhatThe? »

I have seen the kit at '&&&&&& $%^&*' for $239. But i am not going to crack open my already overpriced DC's and start cutting wires! Anyone know someone in Vancouver who would do the conversion?

Get an Oregon Aero foam kit. Got one for $50 on ebay and there is a very noticeable improvement. When you open your DC ear cups you will get a laugh about how much protection is really in there. That's if you're on a budget.

Other than that Bose is the way to go, from what I heard.

Okanogan avionics will do it for you, I think. they always do good work. Sorry I do not have the contact info for them any longer. They are located just East of the south terminal. Let us know how the kit works.

Headsets inc. gives you a 3 year warranty on parts and labour if you have them factory install it.Pretty good deal if your DC warranty has expired or even if you're a couple of years into the warranty period i think.They had my headset back to me within 10 days of me sending it to them.

I purchased an active noise cancelling upgrade for my dc's and wasn't all to impressed. I even had them professionally installed after I opened the dc's up and realized it would be a tad more difficult than I thought. With the noise cancelling ON it was somewhat better than plain old original dc's, with the unit OFF they were substantially louder than the originals. Batteries lasted only 15-20 hrs or so which sucks since I generally used them 5-6 hrs a day. Yada yada yada.....go Bose or similar.
