David Clark has a lot to prove with the new DC Pro-X noise-canceling headset. Not only does the mid-priced ANR headset market offer a healthy variety of good-performing models—including the Lightspeed Sierra and Telex Stratus 30XT, to name a couple—but the company’s X11 model was a disappointing performer, based on our evaluation and feedback from other users.

The DC Pro-X is a completely redesigned model that resembles previous David Clark models only by its signature green earphones and familiar headband. Based on our recent evaluation, we’re pleased with the DC Pro-X performance, comfort and features.
