Digital Adaptive Noise Reduction - Silence goes Digital More Info »
The HS 600 DANR is the only Aviation headset worldwide that provides a processor-controlled active noise attenuation with an intelligent algorithm producing the counter sound. This innovation results in a quick adaptation to changing noise levels and a good perception of audio warnings. While active headsets of the former generation are optimized for a limited frequency range, Beyerdynamic's DANR system can adapt more quickly to different noise levels and to recognized peaks of noise, such as engines with a high rotary speed, within a wide frequency range. This advantage of the DANR concept makes this new headset a benchmarking product.
The DANR processor is integrated into an audio box to which a mobile phone or MP3 player can be connected. For the power supply two AA batteries can be inserted into the audio box or a 3-pin XLR cable can be connected to the on-board power supply system in the aircraft. When the headset is not in use, the audio box is switched off automatically.
In addition to the new technology the HS 600 DANR also emphasizes comfort and design. The headband pad is covered with soft leather and the ear pads are viscoelastic. The ear caps are in Carbon Look with brushed aluminium bezels.

Reviews
Best headset ever!
I have tried every style David Clark, Lightspeeds including the Zulu and lots of time with the bose X. These Beyerdynamic headsets are far superior to any headset I have used. This has German build quality and the company makes top of the line studio headsets also. This is the most clear sounding headset ever. This passive headset seems quieter than my Bose X in my Decathlon. This weighs only 11 ounces and is more comfy than anything. NO CLAMPING PRESSURE. I can't believe how much sound it blocks. They sell 3 different types of earseals for your preference. This kills the Bose X and it is only $269.00. Trust me on this. I bet the anr is awesome, I just like simple better.
